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 […]

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 […]
