I celebrated the first day of spring with this raspberry millet cheesecake. Desserts made with millet are every bit as delicious as traditional ones, and if you’re a fan of millet pudding, you’re already lost… Finished with a chocolate sauce and set on a coconut biscuit base

The very best nutty gingerbread hearts. Rustic in appearance, with their wonderful aroma coming not only from the warming spice blend but also from a generous amount of nuts: almonds and walnuts. They taste wonderfully rich and nutty. These rustic gingerbread de with walnut liqueur…
A wonderfully refreshing summer drink – best gooseberry lemonade, flavoured with lemon and fresh mint. This gooseberry lemonade is perfectly sweet and tangy, making it ideal for cooling down on hot days. It is best prepared the evening before a heatwave is expected.
