It’s definitely quince season, flavourful and perfectly roasted ones. This slow roasted quinces recipe is here to honour these beautiful fruits, so underrated most of the times. Are you ready for it? 🙂 I got lucky this season, for my mom sent me, all the way from Romania, a nice bag of freshly picked quinces. Unfortunately here in Germany quinces are almost non existent, or you can only find them…
Dutch Baby pancake easily became a go to dessert for us on those lazy Sunday mornings. So easy to make and so versatile that you can basically serve it with anything. It perfectly goes with fruits, honey, or your favourite combo of eggs and ham, or sausages, or sautĂ©ed veggies, or, or, or 🙂 But I’m honest with you, I’ve only recently discovered the recipe while having breakfast at our…
I have so many sweet memories with this traditional Romanian rice pudding or “orez cu lapte” how we call it, which basically means rice with milk.

And nothing beats that smell of cinnamon sprinkled on top of the pudding on a chilly autumn morning, am I right? Actually reading a bit…

I know I’ve promised some apricots summer galettes, but those raspberries at the market couldn’t be left alone. Being in a constant mindset about food, what to cook or looking around for inspiration, made me appreciate even more seasonal cooking, and there’s no better time of the year for this than summer. And it’s that perfect moment when all the fruits and vegetables are perfectly ripe and all dishes are more…
These sour cherry and lavender hand pies are the living proof that summer is here to stay for a while and brought with her lots of goodies. This season is definitely a feast of the flavors and fresh ingredients and I’m telling you that there’s no day without cooking in my kitchen, no day without enjoying the gifts of summer, as it sent us food to create special memories with…
I like to indulge from time to time, but let’s be true to ourselves, who doesn’t? But I also don’t want to feel heavy and bloated after either, so doing my own light and low calories desserts, came as a natural way to go for it, and I think these flourless brownies are just what I wanted. Yeap, they are flourless, and for these brownies, a good amount of rolled…
I like desserts, and I’m proud to admit this. But there’s a type of desserts I like even more: fresh, light, elegant and easy to make ones. And I can proudly say that my rustic blueberry tart checks all the above mentioned. Because I’m a strong believer in light eating, but still enjoying delicious food, I think this gives enough room for some desserts to nicely wrap up a family…
