My experiments and use of Semolina in baking are on. Having baked breads with semolina, it is now cakes. Semolina gives lovely textures to cakes too. The Semolina Coconut Cake by Namita Tiwari or Basbousa that was baked last week had a soft crumb and great texture. Drenched in sweet syrup, this cake is very easy to make.

Making chocolates at home can be equal parts fun and messy, but the pros outweigh the cons, especially when you get to control exactly what goes into them. It’s recommended starting with a good quality dark chocolate (at least 70 percent cacao) for these PB and J Cups with Crunchy Quinoa by Phoebe Lapine.  The “puffed” quinoa is a wonderful way to add texture and an extra carb companion to your candy. Just FYI, the quinoa will be toastier and crunchier than store-bought “puffed” options when using the at-home method.
