Another “very fruity” dessert for those who prefer flourless and chocolateless treats. This beautiful combination of silky ricotta, juicy figs, crunchy almonds, tangy orange zest and spiced honey syrup is refreshing and quick-to-make. Continue reading
Pumpkin Cheesecake
I know I promised something entirely different this week, but then I thought that Halloween is a good excuse to make another cheesecake favourite. Lovely velvety texture and sweetness of pumpkin is spiced up by a “seasonal mix” of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Enjoy! Continue reading
Shortbread with Salted Rosemary-Infused Caramel
Out of this world. Uncontrollably orgasmic. I am literally short for words to describe this heavenly dessert. Caramel and sea salt are great (although some might think unusual) companions, and rosemary enriches this ‘marriage’ with a delicate twist. My new ‘non-cheesecake’ favourite. Continue reading
Butterscotch Pecan Cheesecake
I normally prefer cheesecakes without fruit, nuts or anything else that might disturb the smoothness of the cheesecake texture. This one here, however, is somewhat an exception. It is probably the richness of pecan nuts that helps them to blend in so well. Continue reading

Fig and Raspberry Cake
Another ‘quick-and-easy’ that combines softness of figs, sourness of raspberries and zestiness of orange. Have your own personal summer any time of the year! Continue reading
Zucchini and Walnut Cake
Now that zucchini is in season, time to try out another interesting combination – for a cake that it is. I found this Zucchini and Walnut Cake to be somewhat similar to a Carrot Cake (try the simple recipe for it here in my blog), in a sense that vegetables are in the lead here too. Lovely, moist and simple dessert. Check out a few suggestions on using alternative ingredients. Continue reading
Triple-Decker Fudge Slice
I used to go crazy for fudge, but these days it has to be something more deliciously-sophisticated. This recipe presents a 3-layer delight (in every bite), with a cheesecake-inspired vanilla layer in the middle. Continue reading
