A smoothie – the quickest and easiest dessert for warmer days :). You might just fall in love with the combination of strawberries and coconut cream… absolutely delicious!

Bircher muesli is perhaps the most famous muesli in the world. Its name comes from the Swiss doctor who first created and popularised it in his clinic. What makes it special is that the oats are not cooked – instead, they are soaked overnight, and the next day combined

My favourite flavours – lemon and meringue – this time turned into irresistible ice cream that’s quick to make and requires no machine. This lemon meringue ice cream is based on sweetened condensed milk, whipped together with double cream and bright lemony additions.

I’ve been searching for perfect flavour pairings: mint ice cream with chocolate, vanilla with raspberries, dulce de leche with toffee… and lemon with sour cherries… ;). That last one is one of my absolute favourites. Lemon ice cream with cherries is delicious – gently

The time leading up to Christmas wouldn’t smell quite as magical without cranberry jam. For me, it’s one of the best flavours in the world – right after my grandmother’s lingonberry and pear preserve. It’s well worth stocking up on cranberries this year and filling your pantry with

A truly special cranberry walnut tart inspired by a classic Linzer torte. The filling is a homemade cranberry jam, quick to prepare – no need for days of simmering and stirring. The pastry is beautifully buttery and nutty, though quite delicate to handle, so rolling it out on baking

A rich, moist and fluffy coconut cake packed with plenty of kiwi. Interestingly, baked kiwi tastes a bit like gooseberries :). Finished with a coconut icing, which is the perfect final touch. Highly recommended!

A melt-in-the-mouth lemon tart with plums – a surprisingly perfect pairing! The rich filling, enriched with ground almonds and limoncello, sets this tart apart from a classic lemon tart. If I didn’t know the ingredients, I’d almost think it contained ricotta :).

Festive shortbread cookies flavoured with cardamom and a hint of citrus. Perfect for baking together with children for St Nicholas Day. Wonderfully crisp and delicate – truly perfect! The dough is very easy to work with, rolls out beautifully and holds stamped

Juicy, refreshing pineapple ice cream made from simple, easily available ingredients. Best prepared using an ice cream maker, though it can also be made the traditional way by repeatedly blending the mixture as it freezes. Keep in mind that homemade ice cream tends

A light summer cheesecake with white chocolate and strawberry mousse, with no baking required. The whole dessert is airy, delicate and fluffy – like a strawberry milkshake or a soft strawberry mousse. Decorated with meringues and freeze-dried strawberries, though

Quince season is almost over – this is your last chance to enjoy this wonderfully old-fashioned fruit. Often overlooked and not always easy to find (usually hiding in gardens rather than shops), quince resembles a pear or apple but is far more aromatic.

Charming “Forest Moss” cupcakes made from your favourite green spinach cake – no artificial colouring needed. Even if they didn’t make it in time for St. Patrick’s Day, they’re perfect for welcoming spring! With a hint of lemon and a light lemon cream, these mini treats are not only

This is exactly the kind of dessert I love – fresh, creamy, and wonderfully simple. A smooth lemon filling on a biscuit base (reminiscent of key lime pie), paired with juicy raspberries. Light, tangy, and refreshing; perfect for those who enjoy a hint of sharpness in desserts.

Soft, lemony yoghurt muffins bursting with juicy raspberries. Quick to make, wonderfully fluffy, and absolutely packed with flavour – perfect for raspberry season!

The best – of course – is homemade. Strawberry jam is best prepared when strawberries are at their cheapest or nearing the end of the season, when they’re at their most aromatic. This traditional recipe doesn’t use any gelling agents. Instead, the jam is slowly cooked

When summer still feels far away, frozen fruit and tropical flavours come to the rescue. This strawberry and mango smoothie is creamy, naturally sweet (no need for added sugar), and completely addictive! In strawberry season, you can use fresh fruit – just remember

At last, raspberry season is in full swing in my garden – slightly later than usual this year, but all the more eagerly awaited! With one of the harvests, I decided to make a homemade jam. I even asked on Facebook what flavours pair best with raspberries… and once again, I chose vanilla
