One year ago today, I sat down at my laptop and started what you all know as Dishing with the Dawouds. I’ve always admired food bloggers and the time and effort they dedicate to the art of creating a food blog (for anyone who thinks it is easy, I can testify that it’s far from it - but it is so rewarding). By the time I decided to start this blog, I had been baking more than I ever had in my life. We were 20 days into lockdown/quarantine and I had this fire in me to create something for myself.

We thank each and every one of you for following and supporting our blog and instagram. We have enjoyed sharing our love for food, cultures and interacting with all of you. I can’t wait to see what year 2 will look like and I hope that you continue to follow us on our Dishing with the Dawouds journey!

Peter and I spent a lot of time trying to decide how to honor our 1 year blog anniversary. If you know us personally, you know that we have binge watched almost every season of Hell’s Kitchen. We are HUGE fans of Gordon and anything and everything he puts out. Although the show itself doesn’t focus on teaching you how to cook, they create delicious meals that I’m sure we would all be happy to try out!

There are so many recipes to pick from but ultimately we decided to try making the Lobster Risotto, Scallops and Beef Wellington.

For the complete recipe and directions, you can find everything in our latest blog post here.
