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 →

Curd Cheese (Russian Tvorog)

All you need to make a delicious fresh cheese is a large pot, instant-read thermometer (or a candy thermometer) and the buttermilk. The best cheese is usually made from full-fat buttermilk but it can be substituted for low-fat variety. Don’t… 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 →

Blueberry Sauce

This recipe makes about 4 cups of the sauce. But if you think this is unnecessary large amount, please reconsider. This is very versatile sauce. You can eat it with your pancakes, waffles, pour over yogurt or vanilla ice cream…. 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.

Sundried Tomatoes and Feta Puffs

These can be served as an appetizer or as an accompaniment to a salad. I like them warm from the oven with a tomato or roasted peppers pureed soup.

Cornmeal Cranberry Cookies

The cornmeal gives these cookies a nice crunch and the cranberries add a pleasant tartness. A word of caution – these cookies are not very sweet, not for a person with a really sweet tooth.

Fresh Fig and Coconut Pound Cake

This is probably my favorite pound cake and I baked them and ate them a lot… The cake is moist and very fragrant. It’s absolutely fantastic served with sour cream ice cream and warm raw sugar sauce. It freezes beautifully.

Oatmeal Cookies with Dates, Raisins, and Sunflower Seeds

These cookies are full of healthy nutritious ingredients. Thus they are perfect for packing into the lunch boxes.

Sweet and Spicy Caramelized Pecans

Pumpkin Pots de Crème With Candied Spicy Pecans

What a nice contrast – mildly spiced cool delicate custard and sweet-salty caramelized pecans. The pecans are terrific on their own and ridiculously easy to make. I found myself consuming way too many of these with my morning espresso instead… Continue reading →

Persimmon Pudding

Very appropriate dessert for this time of year when the persimmons are in abundance.
