Coffee and Chocolate Pots de Crème

This is the easiest chocolate dessert and also the fastest to prepare. Although it needs 2 hours of chilling time. Sure, the flavor greatly depends on the quality of the ingredients, so buy excellent chocolate and you will get wonderfully… Continue reading →

Espresso Pretzels

These are fun to make but the shaping process takes some time. Start when you are not in a hurry and enjoy. The pretzels are pretty and delicious.  

Chai Tea Spice Cake

All my favorites spices are here. I was sure I would not be disappointed in the end result. The cake turned to be moist, buttery, very fragrant. This is a lovely treat especially during such dank weather outside. The recipe… Continue reading →

Lemon Mascarpone and Blueberries Trifle

This dessert can be prepared in stages over several days. And after assembling it has to seat in a refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight which is even better for the cake to soak and flavors to blend…. Continue reading →

Lemon Angel Food Cake

We love home-made ice-cream, so I’m always in a search for the recipes utilizing left over egg whites. This cake fits the bill since the recipe calls for 14 egg whites. The cake is good on its own. But its… Continue reading →

Viennese Chocolate Sablés

Recipes from Pierre Hermé guarantee a success. Don’t they? :) These cookies are from his “Chocolate Desserts“. I’ll just quote Dori Greenspan in her precise description of them: “Soft and crumbly, buttery and chocolaty, these are the cookies of old-fashioned… Continue reading →

Butter Twists

These cookies can be a great project to do with your kids. My son loves making wiggling worms from the dough. I help him a bit with the twists.

Lemon Cheesecake with Lemon Curd Topping

The cake is creamy, melting in your mouth, pretty looking, easy to make and, more important, it doesn’t leave you with this heavy feeling in your stomach like the most of cheesecakes do.

Pine Nuts, Anise and Lemon Biscotti

I just love them. The texture is a perfection, these biscotti are crunchy but not teeth-breaking hard, and very aromatic. You might be tempted to add more flour to the dough, but don’t do so, or the cookies will be… Continue reading →

Chocolate Ricotta Tart with Pine Nuts

The crust is absolutely perfect, crisp and very tender at the same time, with a distinct pine nut flavor. The filling is creamy and chocolaty (make sure to use a good quality chocolate) with a subtle tanginess from the cheeses…. Continue reading →

Curd Cheese Tart in Oatmeal Crust

What can be simpler? The filling is just the fresh cheese, eggs and a bit of sugar. The crust is buttery and crunchy, and full of nutritious oats. You don’t have to roll the dough, just press it into the… Continue reading →

Caramelized Crêpes with Sautéed Apples and Rum Raisings

Soft spicy apples and plumped in rum raisins contrast wonderfully with crunchy caramel coating of the crêpes. Add a bit (or a generous amount) of cool sour cream to the hot crêpes and you have a perfect finale of your… Continue reading →

Curd Cheese Filled Crêpes with Blueberry Sauce

The combination of the curd cheese and cream cheese makes the filling very smooth. I usually put just a touch of icing sugar to sweeten the filling slightly, so, you might want to add more sugar according to your taste…. Continue reading →

Raisin Bread

We like it either way – fresh and warm, right from the oven and the next day, toasted and generously buttered. It’s not even close to a store-bought raisin bread, but much more flavorful.

Sour Cream Ice Cream with Raw Sugar Toffee Sauce

If you like sour cream and ice cream, you are certainly going to love this. Good quality of the sour cream really matters. The sauce is great with almost any ice cream or fresh fruit.

Banana Ice Cream

What a wonderful way to get rid of these brown spotted bananas. And it’s a lot easier than baking banana bread and tastes superb. The recipe is coming from Alice Medrich’s “Pure Dessert”

Crêpes

These are paper thin, almost translucent and very delicious French-Russian style pancakes. The recipe calls for baking powder and this is very unusual for this type of pancakes. But it doesn’t make them puffy and thick. They are both delicate… Continue reading →

Yeasted Apple Lattice Cake

It looks impressive and might seem like difficult to make. But there’s nothing complex in the shaping of this bread. Besides, the handling of the yeast dough is always calming and nerve soothing experience.
