There is something about early May in Switzerland that feels quietly generous. The markets begin to change, the light stretches a little longer into the evening, and suddenly, almost without noticing, there are flowers everywhere. Not the grand, composed bouquets, but the small ones. The ones that grow close to […]
What you might expect to be a clafoutis… is actually a cake! Inspired by the talented @letitiaclark this delightful cake showcases cherries at their finest, perfectly complemented by creamy ricotta. In true Italian fashion, it’s baked with olive oil instead of butter, adding a zesty twist and a richer texture […]
For me, there are countless delightful ways to savor the brief but glorious strawberry season—my favorite being plucking them fresh, right from the plant. Some of you might have noticed that I’ve discovered a passion for baking in recent years. Naturally, my latest creation features strawberries since we are […]
A real summer treat … perfect for dessert, a brunch or afternoon coffee… Be careful when mixing the berries under the batter so that they are kept whole and don’t leave the cake too moist.
Peaches at their best: ripe, juicy and combined with a crunchy dough. Definitely to be repeated … with different fruits? Summer in a tasty pie
Already my second receipe from Emiko Davies’ gorgeous book Torta della Nonna and I can’t wait to continue this endeavor. Ricotta and pears have a very long tradition in Italy and the addition of the lemon zest and vanilla makes this crostata a love at first bite.
This citrusy cake tastes as vibrant as it looks. Letitia Clark’s receipe is a perfect way out of a winter depression … the Southern sun literally shines in your kitchen. The cake needs to be completely cooled before it is served and will keep well for 3-4 days. A very […]
A few days ago I saw a post from @emikodavies which inspired me to try out this unusual combination of a bitter salad in a sweet cake … a beautiful cake … ready to sweeten my Monday morning
This lovely autumn cake is great with a nice cup of tea…or a Martini. The cinnamon and nutmeg give it a touch of orient. A tasty autumn cake with a touch of orient
We are in the middle of fig season and maybe you are just like me: you just can’t get enough…! This full-on Mediterranean cake brings out quite some intense flavours – and not only of figs. Inspired by #annajones, I have adapted her receipe somewhat to my likings. The hazelnut […]
Some people call it an upside down cake…others call it tarte tartin…fact is that this comforting cake is just the right thing when the days are becoming darker and wetter… If you have a very sweet tooth, you might want to serve the first slices (when the cake is still […]
When the plums are as ripe as they are now…this is a receipe sent from heaven…and insipired by the amazing #dianahenry. I have tweaked her receipe a bit in order to make it more rustic and less sweat. An alternative to the hazelnuts are ground almonds – they make the […]
As the first of many apple cakes this fall/winter I chose an easy and tasty one. The quality of your apples will make a huge impact on the taste – firmer and less sugary apples tend to work better in this kind of cake. You can enjoy a slice of […]
Cameralised orange cake with vanilla
The receipe in “The Baking Book” from Honey & Co. starts off with the words that receipes are like nomads…they travel from one person/family to the next and each time they get changed / adapted a bit. I have done the same…but am thankful for the inspiration that I have […]
