My little pastry history


 Growing up, I can say, I ate a large variety of pastry: from African (Chadian mainly) to French, American and Asian ones. I was curious and fascinated how it was made. Christmas and New Year Holidays were the best time that I could enjoy such delicacies. I would sneak in the kitchen and observe my mother and other aunties baking them. Such memories encouraged me to be passionate of pastry in General. It can be redundant such blog some can say so.  What can make my blog different? What can I talk about pastry in this blog? I will focus more on African pastries. I will post some recipes of some pastries that I tasted or found interesting.

Regarding the origin of pastry, many sources indicate, it came from the Ancient Mediterranean which included Greece, Roman Empire, Phoenicia and from North Africa mainly the Ancient Egypt. Then from being oil-based, it evolved as time goes by from one region to another in term of ingredients, shapes, cooking techniques, and flavor.


Hope you will enjoy visiting my blog. Comments and suggestions are welcome. Thank you!
