Homemade Nougat

Nougat is a family of confections made with sugar or honey, roasted nuts (almonds, walnuts, pistachios, hazelnuts, and macadamia nuts are common), whipped egg whites, and sometimes chopped candied fruit. The consistency of nougat is chewy.

Two basic kinds of nougat exist. The first, and most common, is white nougat or Persian nougat made with beaten egg whites and honey; it appeared in the early 7th century in Spain with Arabs. The second is brown nougat which is made without egg whites and has a firmer, often crunchy texture. - Wikipedia

DRESS FOR THE SEASON (spring ready)

Who else is ready for spring? Because I am. I am definitely not a winter girlie. Everythings awakening and so am I. I am putting together outfits, so nothing can stop me come spring.

”It’s spring time…What a re-leaf!”

ABOUT US

We live in Switzerland and yes we are Swiss, on paper that is. We are also part Ghanaian and very proud. I (Pearl) was born in Switzerland, 3 years after my birth, my parents brought another bouncy baby girl into this world - Jennifer, two years after we moved to Ghana as a family, where we spent a good ten years. We travelled back to Switzerland in April 2006. This is our home now.

We want to share our love for creating and inspire others in the process. As we have many interests and consider ourselves to be jacks of all trades, we won't just be stuck to one niche, we love too many things to just focus on one. Kind of like a brain dump. Let's just go with the flow and see where it takes us. Join us on this crazy ride.

We are the girls!

I'm a creative soul. Since I get distracted easily not finishing projects will forever be a flaw of mine. But I'm challenging myself to grow in all aspects of life with this blog. Project "Start to finish" is on!

Cooking, beaded jewellery, painting, hand lettering, journaling, crocheting, DIYs in general are a few of my many hobbies. Baking must be the one I'm most passionate about. So much so, I bake for a living. It is a fusion of all things I love, the perfect combination of practicality and creativity. The possibilities are endless! With so many trends popping up, countless books and recipes in every shape, size or form, the sky is the limit!

I love to bake, present my work and serve, I'm a born host! Still a work in progress though...

I am Pearl.
