@chefwadadzarzour
Lebanese chef Wadad, has been voted best food in Cosmopolitan ME 2019 and we can see why. Chef Wadad thinks “outside of the box” when it comes to cooking and that is evident in her butter candle recipe. It’s something so different and so easy to make just by melting butter, and waiting for it to solidify with a candle wick in the middle. You just need to light the candle and serve with bread watching it melt onto the board. How creative!
