These custard cookies were inspired by the very first recipe in the wonderful cookbook Sweet by Yotam Ottolenghi and Helen Goh, but this time they are based on my own recipe for the simplest butter cookies. All it takes is adding custard powder
Alongside all the summer fruit ice creams that are surely still ahead of us, it is also worth using up the jars of preserved fruit hiding in the pantry before the new season begins. Blueberries, cherries, strawberries… whatever you happen to have in abundance.
Who even came up with the idea of calling them “pierogi”? ;). Regardless of the name, they are absolutely delicious! Until I tried this recipe from Fetti, the lazy pierogi from traditional Polish milk bars seemed impossible to recreate at home (was choosing the right
A classic sponge cake with pastry cream and strawberries — simple, timeless and always delicious! Yesterday, someone commented on Facebook: “I’ve been looking for a sponge cake with cream and strawberries recipe on your blog.” Honestly, it was almost embarrassing
Waffles — but make them luxurious! This elegant waffle “cake” is a fun and unusual way to serve a classic favourite. Whether it turns out more like a cake or a gateau depends on the size of your waffle maker. I used a smaller one to create a more delicate, refined look.
M&M’s cookies are the kind of treats children dream about. At least, that’s what I thought… until I saw the joy in my husband’s eyes ;). They’re always a hit – soft, buttery, with a lovely crunch from the M&M’s. Perfect for an afternoon treat or a party – and definitely

A baking theme that’s been popular for quite some time – unicorns! It’s safe to say that unicorn cupcakes never go out of style, and you’re never too old for them. I originally planned to make them for Children’s Day, but didn’t manage in time – so I made them later…
Simple Christmas chocolate cookies made without cutters and from basic ingredients you’ll find in any kitchen (you don’t even need eggs!). Perfect for baking with children – let them make a bit of a mess and finally use up those sprinkles left over from Easter ;).
