A creamy pistachio cheesecake with the addition of white chocolate. Mild in flavour, perfectly sweet, with a beautiful pistachio colour and the silky texture of white chocolate. You can use ready-made 100% pistachio paste, but it’s also easy to make at home.
Homemade doughnuts — soft, pillowy and delicious. This version takes them a step further, as each one is sliced and generously filled with freshly whipped cream, piped in for that classic bakery-style finish. Who enjoys this variation of doughnuts? I highly
These are bound to become one of my favourite cookies. They’re best made with lemon curd, though a thick jam works beautifully as a filling too. These shortbread-style cookies with lemon curd are wonderfully zesty — simply divine! Once baked
This is a classic chocolate mousse recipe — and truly the best. I prepared it for Valentine’s evening, because I simply can’t imagine that day without chocolate. It’s light, delicate and intensely chocolatey. “Heavenly” hardly does it justice.
Dulce de leche mazurek is undoubtedly the king of the Easter table. This version isn’t quite festive, as it was baked in January – more of a mix of dried fruits and nuts. For Easter, I recommend decorating it with a decorative pastry edge – it will look beautiful! It’s absolutely delicious
Crème brûlée is the aristocracy of French desserts – one of the most iconic and deservedly celebrated classics, yet brilliantly simple. A silky, delicate vanilla custard topped with a thin, crisp layer of caramel. I didn’t expect it to work on my first attempt, or that I’d be
Apricot mazurek with meringue and almonds is a beautiful combination of a buttery shortcrust base, a vibrant dried apricot filling with a hint of orange, and a crisp, delicate meringue topped with flaked almonds. The meringue layer adds lightness

Amazing Easter bundt cake. This lemon yoghurt bundt cake is fluffy and wonderfully moist, though you can brush it with a little lemon syrup if you like. A simple lemon icing is the perfect finishing touch. Highly recommended!
I was wondering what cheesecake to bake for the upcoming Easter, and this Advocaat cheesecake with chocolate chips was the result. It’s delicious, smooth and quite boozy (definitely not for children), yet the egg liqueur flavour doesn’t overpower the cheesecake.
Lemon tart is an absolutely delicious bake – truly irresistible. I’m completely won over by this taste. It’s perfectly sweet, with a bright, refreshing lemon flavour… light and wonderfully spring-like. Highly recommended!
Florentine mazurek is a wonderfully decadent, packed with dried fruits and nuts, making it perfect for the upcoming Easter celebrations. Its name comes from Florentines – chewy almond cookies with dried fruit – which are baked on top of a delicious shortcrust
Speckled Easter eggs are easy Easter cookies– colourful and dotted with chocolate. There’s nothing complicated about them, and you can easily involve children in the fun of icing or creating the speckled effect.
A meringue whose ingredients might surprise you! To a meringue we add chopped pecan nuts and… crushed salty crackers (Ritz). This meringue is not overly sweet, thanks to the saltiness of the crackers. The crackers soften during baking, so to add a bit of crunch
