Taste Buds: Mediterranean Dinner Part 3: Semolina and Nut Halva

Taste Buds: Mediterranean Dinner Part 3: Semolina and Nut Halva

Before Cindy and I accidentally flipped to the recipe page in Chef’s Mediterranean cookbook, I had no idea what a halva was. Having not heard it before, we thought, oh cool, it’s exotic to us, so let’s make it! Wiki says there’s many different kinds of halva, and they’re all typically dense and sweet. Hence, [...]
