Healthy desserts have always been a bit of a challenge for me. Even though I make fit recipes from time to time (I have to admit, if I had to choose, I’d still pick the ones made with regular sugar 😳), I don’t always manage to make them look like […]
I recently bought no less than 3 kg of fresh blueberries because… why not? 😁 I had the wonderful opportunity to support local farmers, so I didn’t think twice and instantly said “yes” to a whole crate full of freshly picked blueberries. Right after, all sorts of delicious blueberry recipes […]
Bavarian-style pretzels remind me of the time when I used to travel to Germany very often for work. I would find them everywhere and, whenever I had the chance, I enjoyed them for breakfast, lunch or dinner, in all sorts of shapes and combinations. I really loved their texture: slightly […]
I have only one recipe written on an old, time-yellowed piece of paper, and that is my mother’s chocolate ice cream recipe. She used to make it for us when we were kids, on scorching summer days, and for me, it has the pure taste of childhood. I have remade […]
This coffee cake with white chocolate cream was born during lockdown, when, perhaps surprisingly, I was actually quite happy to have more time to cook (introvert here, what can I say 😳). And not just cook, but experiment with new recipes and flavor combinations. The only problem was that I couldn’t just […]
Last weekend, I finally bought myself a madeleine pan. I’d wanted one for ages and was already picturing myself enjoying freshly baked madeleines with my afternoon coffee. By the time they were actually ready, though, it was more prosecco o’clock than coffee o’clock. 😁 So I adjusted accordingly. Since these were […]
I had been toying with the idea of a vacation in Dubai for quite some time, but it always seemed like such an unusual destination and, admittedly, intimidating expensive. We started seriously considering it when we wanted to get away for a few days for my birthday, and all the options that […]
After a weekend full of baklava 😁, I needed something a little lighter to ease the guilt. And that’s how these oat and carrot pancakes came about. They’re super easy to make, require just a few ingredients and, as a bonus, the carrot adds a subtle sweetness and a lovely texture. They’re […]
It’s been a while since I last shared a healthy recipe. That’s because I took a break from the gym. You know how everyone starts the new year with resolutions to work out more and eat healthier? Well, I’m exactly the opposite. I never set foot in the gym in […]
Chocolate is life. I think that pretty much sums up how I feel about this dessert. 😁 I honestly don’t know why it took me so long to make my first chocolate mousse. I probably assumed it was one of those fancy desserts that involved lots of steps and plenty of […]
A kind of cheat day, but with fewer calories. So it’s not a 100% regret. 😅 If you love fruity desserts but don’t want something too heavy or overly sweet, this mixed berry oatmeal crumble cake might just become one of your favorites. It has a buttery oat base, a […]
I first made tartiflette a few years ago, after a trip to France, where I had the chance to try several traditional dishes in Grenoble. As a big cheese lover, I obviously enjoyed quite a few of them, but tartiflette stood out as one of the easiest to recreate at […]
