Down-Home Black-Eyed Peas
This recipe combines black-eyed peas and okra for a down-home country taste. We like to make this recipe in the winter with fried chicken and mashed potatoes.
Falafel Dough Pizza
Falafel is one of the most popular foods in Egypt. It's made out of peeled beans and always served fried. It's also made in the Levant area (mainly Syria and Lebanon) using chickpeas. In my recipe, I used red lentils and replaced the traditional cooking method (frying) with baking. Using lentils instead of beans to create an innovative recipe has been quite satisfying.
Cassata Cake
Cassata cake is a rich Italian dessert often made at Christmas and Easter. It's a layered cake with creamy ricotta, chocolate, and candied fruit filling. I like to top the cake with a delicious chocolate glaze. This recipe includes how to make the sponge cakes but you can use your favorite recipe.
