Nadia's Blog

Hi!  I'm Nadia and I founded Sweet Pillar™ to continue my family's Middle Eastern traditions from Damascus.  It's been quite a journey starting this food company especially with no history of formal food training.  I get a lot of questions via email and figure it would be best to be more accessible.  If you have any questions about how to start a food company, what camera I use for my photos, where to find Sweet Pillar™ products, or if you just want to comment and encourage/ motivate/ inspire me this is the place to do it!  Thank you so much for visiting my page.

🍴Pistachio cream raspberry tart🍴 Since I'm still jet lagged I wake up when everyone is still asleep and go through my phone and basically crave everything I ate in Italy. Let me explain this tart because it was like no other. Creamy dense pistachio cream filled the inside, sweet succulent raspberries topped the tart along with crunchy pistachio bits all served in the perfectly moist but thick buttery tart. 🤗 **dreaming

Cauliflower Stew

October 02, 2015

I know i've been on a cauliflower kick recently but its just so good, and so easy! This is definitely my go to cauliflower dish; its easy to make, it feels light, its so flavorful and best of all Ayla loves it.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 head of cauliflower
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 4 crushed garlic
  • salt and pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Sautee cauliflower in olive oil for a few minutes or until slightly brown (this is an optional step but I think it gives it some more flavor and looks more appealing than a bare white cauliflower)
  • Set cauliflower aside
  • brown the beef, onions and salt and pepper
  • add the cauliflower, chicken stock, and cumin
  • cover on low for 5-10 minutes (until the cauliflower is tender but not too soft)
  • add the cilantro and garlic in the end
  • cover again for another few minutes
  • serve with lemon wedges, white rice and/or pita bread
