Donuts are very much like love. Everyone wants them, but finding one worth having… isn’t always an easy task.
Some are too sweet or too greasy, or don’t have enough enough flavor.
The more subtle and sophisticated ones will keep you interested and will stay engraved in your memory.
And these vegan baked halva donuts prove everything I just said is true

We are two sisters born and raised in Barcelona, Spain, with Sephardic and Middle Eastern roots. We grew up eating the best, most flavorful, comforting home-cooked meals prepared by our mom, who taught us everything we know about cooking. When we moved here to the U.S. we felt it was really important to keep our traditions and background alive, and we've done so by sharing it with everyone we've met throughout the years. After all, what better way to make new friends and share our love and culture than through food, right? Our friends have come to enjoy our food and gatherings so much that are always asking us for our recipes. That inspired us to start a cooking blog called "May I have that recipe" where we share recipes we've created inspired by our multicultural background.
