Have you ever tried making #cremefraiche from scratch before?! Well now you can with this simple guide on how to create the creamiest cream ever and with only 2 ingredients! #cookingwithlamees #madefromscratch

“The Creamiest homemade Hummus” If you still haven’t tried out my famous Hummus recipe then you are missing out! It’s the creamiest one you could ever try, I’ve been working on perfecting it for more than a year and finally proud with its texture and taste. Following the below steps will guarantee you get the creamiest result ever. note: although I recommend the dried chickpeas, however for those in a hurry and don’t have time to do that, you can skip it and make this with cans. as someone who has tried both, there is a a very slight difference in both and as for me and for convenience, I regularly make this one instead. What you need: For the hummus: 2 cans of chickpeas low sodium, 1/2 cup tahini paste, 2 garlic clove, Juice of 1 large lemon 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda 2 tsp salt and pepper 2 blocks of ice medium size( it will keep it cold and very smooth) Method: 1. Start by adding the chickpeas to a pot with more water to cover it entirely ( i noticed that rinsing it from it’s water doesn’t change taste or texture so you don’t have to do that) 2. Add 1 tsp of bicarbonate of soda, it will start boiling and creating a big foam, let it boil for 5-7 min. Adding this will help removing the skin much easier and faster. 3. Prepare a bowl with water, take out the chickpeas and place (without the boiling water) into the bowl, with your fingers gently rub the chickpeas and remove the skin, rinse the chickpeas to remove all skin snd place in another bowl. 4. Add the tahini paste, lemon juice, salt, pepper and garlic to the food processor and process without the chickpeas to create a paste, after that add the chickpeas and ice to the processor and process until completely smooth. 5. Transfer to a serving dish, add your favorite topping and enjoy. #hummus #hummusrecipe #cookingwithlamees #arabicfood #middleeasternfood

2024 will always hold a special place in my heart. Despite its challenges, I wouldn’t change a thing. This year, I had the incredible joy of seeing my very first cookbook on the shelves and in your hands. It was a dream come true, made even more meaningful by the opportunity to meet so many of you in person and hear your beautiful stories. I had the privilege of visiting Dubai not once, but twice, and reuniting with my family and friends after 10 long years apart. I also had the honor of cooking live for you—three times! Sharing those moments with you and bringing my kids to our favorite spots in the UAE, rebuilding memories I’ll cherish forever, has been indescribable. In addition, I visited Denver for the first time, where I made so many new friends and connected with some truly amazing people. Every experience, every connection, has made this year unforgettable. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being with me every step of the way—whether you bought my book, sent a kind message, or simply liked a post. Your support, love, and encouragement mean the world to me. Here’s to 2025—may it bring even more success, happiness, and joy for us all. Love you all! #newyears #2025 #cookingwithlamees #cookbookauthor
