202. Salted Caramel Chocolate Cake

There is alot of hubbub about salted caramel around the internet food world.
I was always a bit hesitant to try it, but when I came across this recipe on the blog Portuguese Girl Cooks, I decided to go for it... and was not disappointed at all!

201. Hummus Tahina Express

Hummus is an Arab spread or dip made from cooked chickpeas pureed with some basic ingredients like lemon juice and tahini. It is a dish so very rich in  nutritional value, and satisfying as well.
I named this recipe hummus tahini express because it uses canned chickpeas, rather than soaking and cooking your own  chickpeas which would take hours.

200. Vineleaf, Onion and Prune Dolmades

There is no one recipe for dolmades. It is a common idea for a dish which spans across nations and continents. There is a traditional version to each region. There is of course the Iraqi dolma, an Arabian Gulf malfoof version, all the way to the Turkish and Greek dolmades.

199. Chicken Sandwich

Sometimes one really needs a break from cooking, frying, baking, sauteeing and the like.
This is where a well-stocked refrigerator and home-made staples make you feel really grateful.
In addition to the simple bread loaf I made yesterday, I found some overnight roasted chicken and roasted garlic in the refrigerator. So the only natural thing to do was to indulge in a sandwich!

198. Simple Honey Wheat Bread

This is a really simple and delicious bread recipe that is great for sandwiches and/or toast.
It freezes really well, so you can make a large batch at the same time, and it doesn't need any fresh ingredients, only simple pantry staples.

197. Apple Chips

I first tasted apple chips in France. They were a delight, and never would I have thought for a moment that I would be able to make them myself... even better tasting than the original!!
I'm not even sure if this qualifies as a recipe, since it has a single ingredient: apple.

196. Salmon Fillet in Fig Tree Leaf

Fig tree leaves are inedible, unlike grape leaves which are commonly used in various cuisines globally.
I can't pinpoint the source where I picked up the idea of roasting salmon fillet wrapped in fig tree leaves, but when I searched for it I found that surprisingly it is quite common around the internet world.

195. Apple Cinnamon Cupcakes

Apples and cinnamon, and irresistible combination in autumn. These little cozy apple cupcakes are certainly dressed the part! Delicious chunky cupcakes are covered with and frosting of choice dyed red, a little pretzel stick acts as the stem, and some green marzipan shaped for the leaves. There you immediately have an awe-inspiring sweet that cleverly uses simple and common pantry staples!

194. Chicken Muskhan Cones

Chicken musakhan is a favorite Palestinian dish, consisting of staples of the area: chicken, onion, sumac, and bread. The traditional recipe roasts whole chicken, and serves it on a bed of bread discs drenched in the onion-sumac mix, and sprinkled with fried pinenuts.
I transformed the dish into a more finger-food friendly presentation, and if I may say so, it is absolutely magnificent.

193. Grilled Langoustines

Langoustines are also known as scampi.
They are something of a cross between shrimps and lobsters, being giant shrimps or tiny lobsters.
It is not unusual to simply poach the crustaceans for a few short minutes then serve it plainly with butter.
