Welcome to my recipe collection.

These recipes offer a delicious mix of new and old world flavors. From the kitchens of my mother and grandmother in Transylvania to the new fusion mixes from my home kitchen in Canada. I have been inspired by the fickle tastes of my children ( vegetarian, pescatarian or whichever way the wind may blow) and my desire to become healthier without compromising taste. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Leave me comments and your favorite recipes!

DESERT FROM THE EAST

Keleti csemege: no sugar, no sweeteners – modern-day nutrition with an almost 2000-year-old dessert.
Very tasty, you can add some liquor if you want. Keeps in the freezer in airtight container for long time.

Ingredients for about 20 nut-size pieces:

200 g dried dates, pitted
100 g unsalted almonds – ground
Orange juice
Coconut shreds

Preparation time: 20 minutes

Difficulty: ☺

Preparation:

Pulse the almonds in a food processor until finely ground. Clean the food processor, then pulse the pitted, dried dates, and combine with the ground almonds. Add orange juice to get a thick mixture.

Spread the coconut shreds in a shallow dish. Form the date-almond-orange mix into 1-inch balls, and roll in coconut shreds.


Hint:
You can use cashews instead of almonds.
If you like sour taste, try this dessert with lemon juice or any kind of sour jam instead of orange juice.
Perfect dessert for families – kids love to help to make these delicious little balls, and eat them afterwards!

Enjoy!
