Chocolate Covered Dates with Almond Butter

A great “back-up” dessert to have in the fridge, which tastes incredibly indulgent but is made with such great and healthy ingredients that you shouldn’t even feel like you’ve just had dessert. You only need a couple of pantry ingredients and it shouldn’t take more than 10min. It ticks all the different diet requirement boxes…

Strawberry & Rhubarb Tart

I’ve only discovered the full charm of rhubarb a couple of months ago, when I couldn’t resist buying this most beautiful looking bunch at a local farmer’s market. First time using it, I made a simple jam, and we’ve ever since been hooked on the tanginess, and of course, the bright appealing red helps as…

Berry Crumble

The simplest healthy crumble with a juicy berry base.

Vegan Banana Bread

This recipe ticks many boxes for a sweet and indulgent yet quite healthy and wholesome breakfast. It is vegan but you can easily substitute some vegan ingredients for their non-vegan equivalents if you do wish so. Even though it is made mainly from ingredients considered healthy and contains very little sugar and added oil it…

Chai Cake

This one was probably the only cake I’ve made that came from having a design that someone has requested and me trying to figure out how to recreate it best I can. I knew there have to be dehydrated coloured pears on the outside and chai as the main flavour. As it is my usual…

The Best Autumn Crumble Ever

What  do you do when you have some almond croissants filling left in the fridge and too many ripe pears in your garden? You put Apple Crumble and Pear Tart with Frangipane together and are absolutely amazed by the result. Definitely the best crumble I’ve ever made, and definitely worth those extra minutes of preping the pears in advance for…

Vanilla Ice-Cream With Toppings

The days were nice, warm and sunny. There was lavender blooming in our garden and the apricots on our trees were getting nice and ripe. Thanks to my friend who takes frequent trips to Madagascar and then showers me with the most amazing vanilla beans ever, the drawer was still packed with them and well, what better way…

Triple Chocolate Muffins

I don’t make muffins that often but I sure do buy those cute little paper models waaay too many times. And when my storage box gets too full of them it’s time to make some. Cupcakes or muffins, they’re both great but as I’m not the biggest fan of different creamy fillings I usually opt…

Pear Tart with Frangipane

My love for fruit pies and tarts is ever-growing and if they have a special twist like this one… well even better. The secret of this pear tart lies in the frangipane, a delicious almondy sweet layer between the pastry and the pears which gives the tart a crunchy sweet texture (and it is similar…

Sachertorte or Sacher Cake

This was one of the first cakes I ever made (still a teenager then), it is really easy to make and is still one of my favorite chocolate cakes. This recipe is an improved version of the recipe from my mom’s old cookbook and definitely my favorite version of the famous Austrian cake. What I particularly like about…

Lemon Tart

I know lemons and other sour and refreshing fruits are usually more popular in summer, but with this one, I never really care which time of year it is. Whenever in need of sth sweet & sour this tart is perfect – refreshing but still so rich in flavor. You can add another meringue layer…

Apple Crumble

Sometimes I really crave a sweet dinner and I want to make a proper meal of it, not just have a dessert after I’ve eaten something. This apple crumble is one of my favorites for that. It’s healthy, nicely sour and not too sweet, and great with some greek yoghurt as well, so you can…
