To be honest I was never a Christmas person, neither crazy about Christmas decorations nor about tons of Christmas baking. Especially last couple years when we lost interest in cakes, desserts and other baked sweet goods. Don't get me wrong, I still love a good cake from time to time, and won't say "no" to … Continue reading easy winter cake with homemade pecan caramel

gingerbread cake inspired by Davina McCall
I'm honestly the most forgetful person I know. It was close call and this recipe would not appear on my blog. As I've mention in my previous Davina's inspired recipe I borrowed her recipe book from the library. I had to return it few days ago, before that though, I took couple pictures of the … Continue reading gingerbread cake inspired by Davina McCall
end of Summer treat – rustic plum cake
I don't know how about you but I'm still not ready for Autumn. Summer spoiled us here in Scotland this year, with really hot, dry and sunny days. Even now - first days of September, although cloudy and rainy, but still very warm and humid with temperatures around 15°C at night. Which is very unusual, … Continue reading end of Summer treat – rustic plum cake
raspberries, gingerbread & vanilla pudding trifle
Let's be honest, there are times when cooking (or healthy cooking as you wish) stays on the sidelines. And in my case it's a heatwave. As soon as temperatures of 25°C hits the Scottish coast, it's not the time to sit in the kitchen more than it's absolutely necessary 🙂 When the heatwave hits the … Continue reading raspberries, gingerbread & vanilla pudding trifle
two ingredients keto pancakes
Another Summer comfort food recipe. Scotland is not the hottest place in the world and to be honest I don't feel like there's a place for typical Summer staples - all the meals and drinks that supposed to cool you down a bit and soothe the warmed by the sun body and mind. I would … Continue reading two ingredients keto pancakes
how to summon Spring? cacao crepes with banana and blackberry jelly
I'm officially sick and tired of this Spring-called weather. Whoever pulls the strings up there is either mentally unstable or simply mean. This so-called Spring is an error, something is broken in matrix, it's beginning of May and I'm still wearing my high top sheep wool slippers. And I had to switch on the heating … Continue reading how to summon Spring? cacao crepes with banana and blackberry jelly
4 ingredients Rafaello (no sugar)
Another Instagram inspired recipe. I think I need a rehab, because my head gets overloaded with all the Instagram photos and ideas I would like to try. And obviously there's not enough time in the world I would be able to try them all. I got to the point that I consume more (content) than … Continue reading 4 ingredients Rafaello (no sugar)
apricot pancakes
That's a really old recipe and really old photos, but I have a fondness for these apricot pancakes. Recipe comes from a recipe book from the 80's. I've made them years ago, but still when I look at these photos it reminds me of hot Summer days when life was a bit more gentle. Not … Continue reading apricot pancakes
flourless chocolate and raspberry cupcakes
As you can probably tell baking is not my best skill 🙂 But it doesn't bother me, as long as the final effect is tasty. I passionately can spend hours in the kitchen trying to make something pretty, usually inspired by sweet creations made by others - and most often it comes out like this. … Continue reading flourless chocolate and raspberry cupcakes

Although the weather outside right now doesn't look like Springtime at all, let's try to summon it with a light Spring-Summer dessert. Easter is coming soon and I think this kind of light, slightly exotic, no bake dessert will be perfect for this occasion. Today I would like to introduce you to one of my … Continue reading easy Spring no bake tangerine cake
