The best apricot preserve ever :). I originally planned to make it with orange liqueur (I thought the combination would be wonderful), but a friend insisted that apricots and Amaretto are simply meant to be together ;). I don’t usually use pectin to speed things up
Honestly, I don’t think you could come up with a simpler cookie recipe :). These simple butter cookies are wonderfully crisp, delicate and… incredibly buttery. Perfect with a cup of tea. There’s such a cliché that cookies “melt in your mouth” – but in this case, it really is true…
Homemade shortcrust pastry, a creamy cheesecake filling with dulce de leche and a chocolate topping. Does that remind you of anything? Yes, of course – millionaire’s shortbread! The filling is light and creamy, more like a fluffy cheesecake dessert than a traditional
Florentine orange cheesecake is a wonderfully impressive no-bake orange cheesecake that’s as delicious as it is beautiful. The creamy cheesecake filling is made with traditional Polish curd cheese, although you can easily use mascarpone or Philadelphia instead.
With this recipe, I’m bringing this year’s pumpkin adventure to an end. If you still have a good supply of pumpkin at home, why not preserve a little of that autumn flavour in jars? Pumpkin jam is very easy to make, but pumpkin itself needs a little company to bring
An elegant, creamy dessert with a delicate hint of coconut. Decorated with coconut flakes, which enhance the flavour even further. It’s very simple to make and requires only a few ingredients. It’s best prepared the evening before serving, so the panna cotta has time to
A quick and healthy jam recipe, and a great way to use up summer fruit from the freezer. This chia seed jam is ready to eat after just 20 minutes – no long cooking and no large amount of sugar required. Chia seeds act as a natural thickener here.
White Raffaello truffles made with sweetened condensed milk, without butter or milk powder. They’re wonderfully rich and filling. They’re not quite like the shop-bought Raffaello chocolates, which are more delicate, coated in a crisp wafer and filled with
Wholemeal scones – they may not be the prettiest little buns, but they have so many advantages :). They’re quick and very easy to make and, most importantly, simply delicious. All you need to do is replace some of the plain flour with wholemeal flour to make
My favourite jam. The only thing I love more is plum butter. I adore blackcurrants for their flavour, their aroma and their beautiful colour, and turning them into jam is a real pleasure. Blackcurrants are naturally rich in pectin, so the jam thickens beautifully all on its own ;).
With spring just around the corner, it’s worth experimenting with colour :). Today’s yeast bread comes in three colours: green, brown and white. It’s a simple yeast bread made without eggs. In flavour, it’s similar to traditional challah – a lightly sweet bread that’s delicious
Homemade peach jam is simply the best :). Made with plenty of vanilla, freshly grated lemon zest and lemon juice. Perfect for toast, pancakes, waffles and desserts. Make it as thick as you like – I usually reduce the juice a little further so that the jars are packed
Apple, honey and cinnamon pizza – a delicious dessert for autumn weekends. A lovely sweet pizza, finished with a light drizzle of icing, although you could use salted caramel instead. Whenever I make the dough for Italian pizza, I usually set aside
Another year, another World Bread Day! I bake bread and rolls several times a week, so I couldn’t let the occasion pass without baking something special. These delicious wholemeal rolls with rye flour came out of the oven recently, and they were a real success
All the flavour and aroma of soft pretzels, but in delicious bread rolls :). Instead of shaping the dough into pretzels, simply form it into rolls. It’s quicker and easier. These pretzel rolls have the same crisp, lightly salted crust and wonderfully soft interior. Perfect for a weekend
Possibly the most wonderful Nutella sweet rolls! Their flavour is enhanced with toasted sesame seeds, hazelnuts and freshly grated orange zest… They are absolutely delicious! These sweet rolls are quite small, so I’ve doubled the original quantity of ingredients
If you love cakes with plenty of fruit and a generous layer of crunchy crumble, this recipe is definitely worth trying :). This simple crumble cake is packed with juicy plums that soften as they bake, creating a fragrant, lightly cinnamon-spiced filling. The crumble, made with
An incredibly delicious pistachio and lemon cake, generously soaked with fresh lemon juice. One of the easiest and most delicious pistachio cakes; all the ingredients are simply mixed together, much like making muffins. Once baked, the cake is soaked with freshly
