The recipes I am going to post next are not desserts, as you will see, and not related to baking. But they are just too good not to share. I like the idea of spreads and dips as appetizers. Most… Continue reading →
I love kumquats. I eat them with peel and seeds. Unfortunately, they are seasonal, so, it makes sense to enjoy them while they last. This cheesecake presents the kumquats in a nice, elegant way. Although you can eat the kumquats… Continue reading →
This is not a suggesting for getting rid of scary, dark-spotted, overripen bananas. You might consider buying bananas exclusively for baking these muffins, they are sure worth it. I’m quite happy with the result of my experiments in achieving the… Continue reading →
This a wonderful accompaniment to many desserts. It’s delicious poured over the cakes, tarts or fruits. Or freeze it in an ice-cream maker to get a great tasting vanilla-honey ice-cream.
This is another way to enjoy fresh curd cheese. Sort of Russian cheesecake. But please, don’t confuse it with American cheesecake, the texture and flavor are completely different. I like it best warm, eaten with sour cream. But for a… Continue reading →
With just a few ingredients and simple preparation method, in almost no time at all, you can have a delicious accompaniment to your cup of coffee. This recipe is from “Chocolate” by Nick Malgieri.
This cake is delicious on its own but irresistible when served with a generous dollop of espresso-infused whipped cream. Kahlua-flavored sugar syrup brushed over the warm cake gives it a thin crispy sugary crust. I like to warm a… Continue reading →

These are the cookies I always use for my cheesecake crusts since they are so easy to make and the flavor is nothing comparing to store bought cookies. Crispy throughout, the wafers are also great accompany to a cup of… Continue reading →
There is enough batter to make one 9-inch round cheesecake. Since I was serving it on Valentine’s Day, I used small individual heart-shaped molds to suit the occasion. This is a great dessert to be served on such a special… Continue reading →
According to my taste, commercially made rum raisin ice cream never has enough raisins or rum in it. Contrarily, this one is loaded with raisins. And even Jack Sparrow would approve the quantity of rum. Although I would think twice… Continue reading →
These are classic Italian wafers. They are good as is, or shaped into cones or cylinders and filled with a filling of your choice. The pizzelle can be draped over bottom of a glass and used as edible bowls for… Continue reading →
There is no any gelatin powder or eggs in this mousse. The flavor, as a result, is clean and pure. And the texture is light without being elastic. Definitely don’t try to save on the chocolate here. You get what… Continue reading →
These cupcakes have so many wonderful qualities! First of all, they are very, very chocolaty, and moist, and so flavorful. And they don’t have any fat except the one coming from the chocolate. It means you can eat extra one… Continue reading →
