I fell in love with this chocolate cake from Nigella Lawson’s Feast from the very first bite – not simply because it’s Nigella’s recipe, but because it’s genuinely delicious. It immediately reminded me of the classic Polish murzynek chocolate cake
The original recipe calls these “Snickers”, but in our opinion they don’t really taste like the famous chocolate bars. Instead, they’re wonderfully nutty bars—sweet, satisfying, slightly chewy, with a lovely crunch from the cornflakes.
Pear and cinnamon sorbet is a sweet, intensely pear-flavoured frozen dessert. The cinnamon isn’t essential, but it works wonderfully here, making the sorbet taste almost like a traditional apple pie… You can also replace the cinnamon with freshly grated ginger

Brooklyn Blackout Cake is an intensely chocolatey layer cake made with plenty of cocoa, generously filled with rich chocolate pudding, coated in a thick layer of chocolate frosting and finished with dark chocolate cake crumbs. It is not overly sweet, while the sour
For me, this pecan tart earns the title of tart of the year (if I were to give out such awards). The combination of pecans and golden syrup is truly one of the best flavour pairings. It is no surprise that it is an essential part of the table during American Thanksgiving :).
A delicious, moist tart with baked Greek yoghurt and summer berries, with the texture of a light cheesecake. The yoghurt filling is very simple to make – it is simply a matter of mixing the ingredients together. A small amount of golden syrup or honey gives the tart
As a farewell to pumpkin season… delicious muffins made with pumpkin purée and apple. Like little pieces of brownie :). Moist, soft and filled with juicy chunks of apple. It is impossible to stop at just one. Covered with a chocolate glaze, they stay fresh for

This coconut and raspberry version of chia pudding is every bit as delicious as the chocolate one. Chia seeds are incredibly versatile, and there are endless ways to use them, so don’t be afraid to experiment with your own flavour combinations. Do you
A cake that still smells of summer… And it does not even matter if you think you do not like desiccated coconut — here, even coconut sceptics will enjoy it. The recipe author herself, Nigella Lawson, calls it a “Bounty cake”, which should already be recommendation enough :).
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…
The best nut cheesecake I have ever tasted — and ever baked. A beautiful three-layer cheesecake with a biscuit base, a rich nut filling and finally a creamy cheesecake layer on top. The nut layer is especially delicious and could honestly stand on its own, but
Traditional Danish brunkager cookies made with warming spices, muscovado sugar, candied peel, and almonds. Crisp, aromatic, and perfect for Christmas baking. Brunkager — traditional Danish Christmas cookies — literally translates as “brown cookies.
