After a week of gloomy weather, when it’s neither raining nor snowing, I felt like making something sweet to cheer myself up. Usually, on cold winter days, a cup of hot chocolate topped with marshmallows does the trick. Sometimes I add an extra shot of espresso too, simply because I […]
I started out wanting to make the famous babka, but after doing a little research and seeing how it’s traditionally made, I changed course. 😁 Not because it’s necessarily complicated, but because the whole process can take up to 24 hours and, honestly… ain’t nobody got time for that. 😂 That’s […]
A few apples had been sitting in a bowl for a while, along with some egg whites left over from my cinnamon rolls. And that’s how today’s little experiment, called apple meringue cake, came to life. 😁 I initially wanted to make something a little healthier and lower in calories. But ever […]

Since I’ve declared myself a caramel fan, #norecipewithoutcaramel, it was […]
For me, fall officially begins when my kitchen starts to smell like roasted pumpkin. 🥰 Every year, I make it a tradition to prepare at least one pumpkin dessert, and this year I chose a pumpkin bread with mascarpone frosting. It has a delicate and flavorful texture, with warm cinnamon notes, […]
I’m a geek and a certified introvert. After 20 years in the IT industry, I’ve come to the conclusion that I’d rather write an SQL query than scroll through clothing websites, and a night of online gaming easily beats a night out at a club.
