Once, at the beginning of my baking journey, someone more experienced told me that Pavlova is not a “fruit salad” — you should stick to one type of fruit. Oh, how wrong they were. Or perhaps Pavlova has simply evolved so much that no combination surprises anyone anymore?
Crispy rhubarb squares with a tropical twist, thanks to the addition of pineapple and coconut. Absolutely delicious! This recipe is wonderfully simple – just mix all the ingredients together, no kneading required. The dough has a crumbly texture, similar to an oat crumble.
Wonderful, soft and beautifully fragrant chocolate muffins. They taste a little of banana, a little of coconut, and a little of chocolate – perfectly balanced :). They’re best enjoyed warm, when the chunks of chocolate inside melt irresistibly. Perhaps that’s
