With Advent coming so close to us, it’s time that I present you the first Christmas recipe for one of my favorite cookies I’ve been making for Christmas for the past few years. You got it right: today I’m all about gingerbread man cookies. I’ve been using this recipe for a long time and I’m […]
This carob bundt cake just made its appearance on the blog, and it already got up some really lovely compliments. I’ve been told it looks like a royal crown or resembles an Alice in Wonderland cartoon (because of the colors, I guess). Great credit definitely goes to this interesting bundt pan that I used. In […]
My first idea was to make a chocolate babka with cardamom and hazelnuts but I ended up making this raspberry brioche babka instead. As we are somehow surrounded by loads of chocolate desserts in this pre-Christmas time, it occurred to me that maybe I could create a Christmas babka with a fruit filling that will […]
My search for delicious, homemade oatmeal cookies lasted for quite a long time: I often experimented with different ingredients: dried fruit, nuts, butter, and oil, with and without chocolate, experimenting with different types of flour, adding grated apples… I have a feeling that I’ve tried almost all the recipes for oatmeal cookies the internet can […]
I don’t know about you, but when summer temperatures start to increase above 35°C, my brain turns to chew gum (metaphorically speaking). Goes to standby.

This title is not a click-byte. It really isn’t. It was about time for me to prepare one easy and fast recipe for the blog. And, to be honest with you, the recipe for this homemade bourbon vanilla ice cream wasn’t something that I planned to share with you in the first place because this […]
For me, this quick raspberry dessert is like a real summer in the glass. And it’s done in 15 minutes or so. How AWESOME is that?! The summer is officially here so I’m using it as a chance to present you this super quick and easy no-bake summer dessert. This time I found my inspiration […]
Lately, I’m totally into simple, rustic desserts, and apple crumble fits perfectly into that category: simple, rustic fruit dessert that is baked in the oven. Besides apples, crumble filling usually consists of peaches, berries, apricots, plums, pears, and if you’re lucky, rhubarb. This apple crumble was the first thing I baked just after the earthquake […]
Thanks to the good people I’m surrounded with, so far I have collected a beautiful collection of old, vintage cookbooks. So, thank you again for that, you know who you are. 😉 Some of them belonged to my grandmothers. Some of them are to someone’s aunts. Some are written in beautiful handwriting that very few […]
