Have you ever experienced a taste so divine it feels like a bite of heaven? Last weekend, I had the extraordinary pleasure of savoring breakfast from The Almond Thief in Totnes (find them on Instagram here). This isn’t just any café—it’s a treasure trove of culinary delights, nestled in a […]
Everybody told me I was crazy trying to make jam out of cantaloupe melons … but it worked! Also thanks to the inspiration from the wonderful Emiko Davies. The dough of this crostata is your standard shortcrust – I just added the zest of a bio lemon and used salted […]
I based myself on the delicious galette from Falastin with beetroot and feta and turned it into a version à la provençale with chèvre and a lot of thyme as well as honey from the region. A labour of love which is worth every minute of thought and work. To […]

A great pie to make late summer when the peaches are nice and ripe. This beautiful cake is great as a dessert and a fantastic present to bring along to a dinner party. A very tasty pie to enjoy juicy peaches embedded in a beautiful shortcrust
As you can see, I am back in full action and of course I could not resist to bake this summery galette with the most beautiful nectarines and blackberries. The nectarines can be substituted with any stone fruit – if you use peaches, you might want to peal them before […]
