With nearly 1.5 months of travels I’ve been missing my kitchen and what comes out of it. Having a few recipes in store for just such a scenario, I believe it is time to share one of those. After all, it’s been over a month since my last blog update, which makes (yet again) an unforgivably long pause. While the summer is still around, berries are on the dessert menu as this week it is Blackberry and Orange Mascarpone Cake – moist, semi-sweet and lightly zesty. Enjoy! Continue reading
Taking advantage of the berry season while summer is in full swing. This week it’s a simple and flavourful cake with key notes of raspberries, accompanied by zesty lime and milky-sweet coconut. I used frozen raspberries for this recipe as I had some left in the freezer, but fresh berries are as good – if not better. Enjoy! Continue reading
Cheesecake week! As my all-time favourite type of cake (with a some minor exceptions, hello chocolate mousse, rosemary squares and a few memorable others!), it doesn’t stop to amaze me with and array of mouthwatering varieties. This week let’s go for another winning combination of sour cherries and dark chocolate in a zesty cheesecake swirl. Enjoy! Continue reading
So far I’m managing to keep the usual schedule of 1 new recipe per week while enjoying a relatively quiet month at home. This week indulge a gooey goodness of golden caramel with buttery pecans, a wonderful combination of smoothness and crunchiness. Continue reading
Back at my kitchen that I so dearly missed over the past 6 weeks. Summer is in full swing now, which can only mean more berry-based treats. Chocolate + raspberries is a tastebuds-winning classic, and this week it is Chocolate Raspberry Roulade to indulge and enjoy. Continue reading
Travels kept me away from my kitchen again, but am back this week with a wonderful dessert which might be of an interest to those who struggle to choose between Carrot Cake and Cheesecake. A mouthwatering combination of both, this rich and flavourful cheesecake is a delight in every bite. Enjoy! Continue reading
Well, finally I got my hands around to try out this wonderful flourless, oil/butterless and (if replaced with honey) sugarless recipe. Frankly, I didn’t expect much, but it turned out to be a wonderful treat that I no doubt will be returning to every now and then. Zesty, light and moist this cake is a perfect tea ‘companion’ and a great finish to any meal. Enjoy! Continue reading
It’s been some time since last cheesecake, so cheesecake this week it will be. I love this recipe for a sublime balance of honey sweetness and lemon zestiness, which smoothly glides over the silky texture of cheesecake. A perfect ending to any meal. Or, for those like me, a meal of its own. Continue reading
Travelling with my visitors around China, I missed last week’s blog update, although I have quite a few things in store by now. I decided to make those melt-in-the-mouth blueberry delights for two simple reasons: blueberry is in season now in Shanghai, and I had 3 egg whites “to get rid of”. Not the worst use of those, I imagine. Continue reading
This one has been ‘in store’ since January, but I guess the time has finally come. Introducing this week: Pink Velvet Raspberry Cupcakes. I made 2 different versions of those delightful individual treats, try either (or both) with afternoon tea. Another good thing about this dessert – both fresh and frozen berries can be used, so no need to wait for raspberry season. Enjoy! Continue reading
