I had a trip to Cluj planned, and since I couldn’t possibly show up empty-handed (God forbid! 😄), I had to think of something good to bring along. And since I needed a dessert anyway, I thought I might as well take the opportunity to try something new. I just […]
Recently, an exotic fruit shop opened in our neighborhood, and I quickly became a regular. After my first visit, I knew my wallet was in trouble 🫣, but my taste buds were so happy (my scale, on the other hand, started looking at me funny 😅). Everything I’ve tried from […]
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 […]
Another recipe from my #NoRecipeWithoutCaramel series. 😂 This time, it’s a combination that’s pretty much impossible to resist: brownie + chocolate + crunchy walnuts + caramel = ❤️. The recipe started with the idea of bringing together a few of my close friend’s favorite sweet treats in one dessert. I’ve […]
I have to admit I have a weakness for cookies. 😄 I’ve made my ricotta cookies more times than I can count, and they’re still some of my favorites even though they don’t contain any chocolate. But chocolate and peanut butter? That’s a combination I find very hard to say […]
I had several attempts at making classic American-style chocolate chip cookies before getting the texture I was looking for. Some were too crumbly, others too dense. They all had chocolate in them, so clearly that wasn’t the problem. 😄 After reading through more recipes, I realised I needed two things: […]
This easy coconut macaroons recipe started with a craving for vanilla. I wanted the whole house to smell of something lovely baking in the oven. Usually, that means a batch of ricotta cookies, but this time there was no ricotta in the fridge. I found a bag of shredded coconut in […]
It happens to me quite often that I crave something sweet right after I get home from the gym. To avoid feeling guilty about it, I try to find something that’s at least somewhat healthy. That’s how these oat and walnut cookies came about. I first made them with whatever […]
I still consider myself a ricotta addict. 😄 I’ve made cakes, doughnuts, meatballs, and all sorts of other things with it, and so far, it has never let me down. So it was only a matter of time before I tried making some ricotta cookies too. The recipe is really simple, and I […]
These double chocolate chunk cookies have melted dark chocolate in the dough, chocolate pieces throughout and a soft, moist centre. The chocolate isn’t just an occasional extra you come across between bites of cookie. It’s very much the main event. 😁 The idea came from using up partly opened chocolate […]
You’d never guess how long I’d been meaning to try making scones. Ever since I started watching Downton Abbey, where Lady Violet — my favourite character, by the way 😊 — would have her tea with these lovely little treats. It took me about two years to finally make these raspberry […]
Whenever I’m craving something sweet but don’t feel like spending too much time in the kitchen, homemade cookies are always a good idea. Especially when there’s a jar of peanut butter in the pantry and some chocolate waiting to be used. 😁 This time, I went with one of my […]
