Apple Cake
Apple cake – a simple and quick recipe for a dessert that screams autumn and cozyness. Do not put this aside only because it looks rustic – it is delicious and comforting … and a no brainer :D. P.S. It goes really well served warm with vanilla ice cream. 😀 Enjoy it with a smile!…
Dried fruits cake
This is a very versatile recipe – you can replace the rum with something more suitable to the targeted eaters of this cake (:D), you can make muffins out of it and you can replace the used dried fruits to better suit your taste. It goes well with coffee or tea – trust me on…
Cheese Doughnuts
There is something about these cheese doughnuts that makes you want one more every time you start eating them. They are having a heavier consistency than the normal doughnuts and they delicious both served warm or cold. They go well with sour cream and jam (not a very sweet one). I do the jam at…
Banoffi Pie
It has been a while since I added anything here – so it is time to start doing it again. It is one of my New Year’s resolutions to work on this, so I am happy to see that I am doing it and not just saying that I will. Hope it will last. 🙂…
Easy vanilla ice cream
Although the summer is almost over, I cannot end it without sharing this super easy ice cream recipe. To make it different each time I add a few drops of lemon oil or orange, or if it is just for the adults a little bit of liquor (I am talking about a teaspoon tops and…
Baked mini doughnuts
I am a big kitchen gadgets buyer – among the things that I buy quite often are trays. I guess this shows its face especially when I buy special trays – like the ones for macarons (which by the way, I used only once and decided that they are useless) or for madeleines (this one…
Eclair
According to the French-English dictionary, éclair means lightning/flash of lighting. The question is if they were named éclairs because one can eat them with the speed of light or because their beauty can strike like lightning and make you fall in love with them. Hmmm… I am used with the classic éclair filled with chocolate…
Rustic cheesecake
Cheese is one of my favorite things to eat. I add it to salad, potato chips, stew and whatever I think it can be “enriched” by the added cheese (:) – yeah, I know, it is just an excuse to eat cheese). But when it comes to something sweet, made almost entirely out of cheese,…
Homemade fudge
I love, love, love this fudge! It is addictive and although it contains lots and lots of sugar, it is just irresistible. It keeps really well in an airtight container and it is a great “go-to” when in the mood for something sweet – and I mean really, really, sweet :). It is also a…
Pavlova with berries
This dessert is named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, because, it is said, it was created in her honour. Although I have my doubts that she was actually eating dessert (even if it named after her), I think that whoever came up with this dessert had a stroke of genius – it is a…
Coconut and chocolate cream raw cake
I have never made a raw cake in my life…well, until now…I found this recipe in a “Bake” magazine and it looked so appealing that I said, well, let’s try it. The fact that it was super good took me by surprise. It was sweet, but not extremely sweet and the coconut worked exceptionally well…
Mixed berries smoothie
My kid is a huge fan of smoothies – he stands by my side waiting to get a glass from the second I tell him that I am going to make some smoothies for us. To make it easy for me I always keep a bag of berries in the freezer and if I have…
Frappuccino
We had a few sunny days before Easter and although the temperature did not rise above 8 °C, it “forced” me to take action and get some frappuccinos on the table. It is tasty and fast (I had the caramel already made from the day before) and it is something that I will definitely do again…and…
Muffins with lemon curd topping
I buy food magazines – lots and lots of them. Some i just read and look at the pretty neat pictures and imagine that if I try the recipe, the outcome will look as in the magazine. Sometimes I actually try some of the recipes. Until now – none of them was even close to…
Childhood biscuits salami
This recipe is something that my grandmother used to make for me and my sister – it was a treat that we always enjoyed. Twenty something years later (let’s make it thirty something, if we go down on the honesty path) I still enjoy it and although nowadays I think about calories, I cannot refuse…
