Moroccan Khobz

I have not traveled in a year and two months. But the worst is not being able to visit Morocco anymore; it holds a very special place in my heart. If you know me you know that my dream as a child was to visit Morocco. Apart from that, do you know what I miss the most? The bread! So, what better way to travel than through a Moroccan bread recipe? Let’s go make some khobz. What is khobz? For those who wonder what khobz means, it means bread. It is Moroccan Darija spelling, not traditional Arabic spelling. However, the…

French yogurt and photo prints

This isn’t even an ad. I swear! It’s just me playing with my flat lay skills and showing my love for Oui yogurt. I love the yogurt because it comes in little glass jars just like yogurts and mousse in France. It’s the closest thing I have to a French supermarket. And they’re really yummy. Another plus is that you can save the jars for later which I always do. Aside from the yogurt, we have my beautiful Olympus camera in the color brown. It has been discontinued and Olympus has recently announced that they will no longer be in…

Threw it together with the toasted bread and some chopped kale leaves and…

Lately, I have been trying to get back into food photography. I haven’t been as active with my camera as I used to be which is unfortunate; I should change that. I remember when I would take pictures of any random thing and get so happy editing. I did find the beauty in this salad bowl I put together. The best thing about food photography, to me, are the colors. This may be why I’m more attracted to well lit food photography as opposed to dark photography. Not to say that I dislike dark photography but it never worked out…

Taco Dumbo and Coffee

Spent a great afternoon seeing one of my good friends from college. She picked out a great tropical spot in the middle of NYC, Taco Dumbo. We were looking for a quick lunch and some good WiFi. She had a beer and I had a glass of cold rosé along with the tacos. We talked about life: the good, the bad, and the ugly. After we finished lounging, we set out on a mission to find a cafe for some coffee. We ended up at Maman. I really wanted to go to Urban Backyard but there’s never anywhere to sit,…
