I’d been craving something sweet all day and, after working myself to death on the elliptical first thing in the morning, I really didn’t want to undo all that hard work with a heavy dessert. 😁 So I decided to make a lighter version that would still satisfy my chocolate […]
Mexico, finally! 🥳 I’d been wanting to visit for almost eight years, ever since *le husband went for the first time. Even though his trip back then wasn’t exactly the best, the stories he came home with made me fall completely in love with the idea of Mexico. It always […]
This is one of those recipes that always comes to my rescue. I’ve made this Kinder Milk Slice countless times for birthdays, a wedding, New Year’s Eve, weekend guests, or simply when I was craving something sweet and wanted a recipe I knew would turn out well every time. If […]
If you have a jar of Nutella in the pantry and a few eggs in the fridge, you already have everything you need for today’s dessert. 😁 Yes, it really is that simple. I discovered this recipe a while ago, when a friend sent me an article full of fancy […]
I’ve made this mixed berry mousse cake several times, and it’s always been a hit. It’s one of my favorite cakes for special occasions, especially when I want something that looks impressive without being overly sweet. The cake has a very thin cocoa sponge base, a slightly tart mixed berry […]
If I had to choose just one pasta sauce, I’d probably go with quattro formaggi. I love cheesy pasta, and the creamier the sauce, the better. 😁 For the longest time, I assumed that making a sauce with several different cheeses had to be complicated. Turns out, it’s actually one […]

Some destinations are places you travel to with a holiday in mind. And then there are destinations you arrive at for work, only to realize that, after flying almost 10,000 kilometers to get there, it would be a shame to see nothing more than a conference room and a hotel. […]
One evening, I was craving Mexican food and decided to make chili con carne. There was just one problem: I didn’t have any beef in the fridge. I did, however, have some chicken breast, so I decided to improvise a little. 🙂 That’s how the first version of this chicken […]
Last night I made a quick trip to the market to stock up on cherries and sour cherries and, of course, came home with something completely different from what I had planned. 😄 I spotted some incredibly fragrant, juicy-looking peaches and couldn’t resist. I picked a few of the firmer […]
I love recipes that use just a few ingredients and can be served in several different ways. This spinach ricotta spread is exactly that kind of recipe: simple, creamy and incredibly easy to make. I originally made it as a spread, but I soon realized it was much more versatile […]
