Cookies and tarts are probably as far as my dough “tolerance” go (although every now and then it’s nice to have something that is “heavier” in the flour department). I’ll stay on a lighter side of dough for now. Topped with Ferrero Rochers, this week’s delightful dessert combines bittersweetness of chocolate with a zesty orange twist. Perfect with afternoon tea or morning coffee alike. Continue reading
Cranberries are not necessarily the first thing that comes to mind when one plans to bake a cheesecake. Surprisingly, together with white chocolate they make an unforgettable sweet-and-sour balance of tastes and textures that is…well..perfect! Continue reading

Oreo Cookies and Cheesecake. And a bit of cream. And a bit of chocolate. A match made in heaven. A universal perfection. A soothing indulgence. Enough talking, me thinks. Tea time! Continue reading

Enjoy! Continue reading

Another cheesecake this week! I personally favour baked (over chilled) cheesecakes in general, but this one is rather an exception. Simple, light, wonderful and refreshing, with a divine raspberry twist. Just perfect on a hot summer day. Continue reading
Changing geographies again this week with a culinary trip to Germany. Well, sort of, but not exactly. Since I couldn’t decide whether to make a traditional Black Forest Cake or a chocolate cheesecake, I decided to ‘marry’ them instead and enjoy the best of both chocolate-based delights.
