  • 6 levelled tablespoons cornflour
  • 2 ½ tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rose water

  • Âľ cup water
  • 2 teaspoon rosewater
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Raspberry Coulis

  • 1 ½ cup fresh/frozen raspberries
  • 6 tablespoons honey
  • Âľ teaspoon cornflour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • squeeze of lemon

Notes from Rouba

  • Pouring all the hot syrup over the rusks is a vital step in this recipe.
  • Broken rusks give a nice effect to the presentation of the dish so don’t stress if they don’t all fit evenly in one layer at the bottom of your serving dish or glass.

Method

Step 1.

Arrange rusks in a round serving dish (approximately 28cm) side by side. To make the sugar syrup, place all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil (this happens fairly fast), lower the heat, and continue to boil for approximately 5 minutes until the syrup slightly thickens (you don’t want thick syrup for this recipe).

Remove from heat and immediately soak the rusks well by pouring the hot syrup all over making sure they are well soaked.

Step 2.

To make the milk pudding, combine all ingredients in a saucepan on medium heat and bring to a boil whisking continuously. This may take some time, but be patient. Once it boils and the mixture thickens slightly, remove the pan from the heat and stir in rosewater.

Pour the milk mixture over the syrup-soaked rusks. Set in the fridge for at least 3 hours.

Step 3.

In the meantime begin making the raspberry coulis; Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium to low heat; cook and stir until raspberries break down, sugar dissolves, and the sauce slightly thickens. This will take approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.

Step 4.

Once the milk pudding sets, pour over the raspberry coulis, and top with fresh raspberries. Garnish with ground pistachio.

Read to the end... and ask yourself, why?
Look closely at this photo. It may seem like just a building, but if you look closer, you’ll see holes — scars from a bomb that hit our home in 1983 by Isr-ael . But that’s not the story I’m here to tell. I’m here to talk about family, love, and what it means to grow up between two worlds. Scroll through 👉🏽 these photos and videos, and at the end, I hope you’ll ask yourself the same question I do: Why are we seen so differently?

I was born in Australia 🇦🇺 but my father wanted me to grow up in Lebanon 🇱🇧 surrounded by our family, our culture, and our traditions. He believed that we should grow up in the heart of our roots, amongst our people, to learn who we are and where we come from. And while we did, there was always this underlying reality—war, unrest, the world constantly chipping away at the places we call home 🥲

It’s ironic, isn’t it? In the West, there’s often resentment towards migrants and refugees. They ask why we come, but the truth is, we are here because the very countries they live in have been bombing ours for decades. We never wanted to leave our homes; we were forced to. Our families, our homes, and our childhood memories are left behind, often shattered, while we try to rebuild elsewhere❤️

My trip back home only a couple of month ago was wonderful. I spent time with family and created new memories that I’ll always hold dear. Some of the people you see in these photos, though, have already left their homes. Others are now forced to leave as well. And the rest? They wait with anxious hearts, knowing that more bombs will fall, knowing their world will soon be reduced to rubble 💔

I often wonder — why doesn’t the world see us, Arabs, as people who deserve to live in peace? Why is it that when they look at us, they see something different, something “other”? Take a moment to look at these photos and videos. At the end, you’ll see Gus and me, just two normal people, sharing a light moment, having some fun. 

Why is it that the world sees us as anything less than humanđź’”
