Bigger and better…
Today I had a revelation; I have loved poffertjes all my life but as of today it is official; the Dutch have been defeated in the making of these treats by the Danish… It’s sad but true. Well, ok in the defense of the Dutch nation; it is not really [...]
Amaretto tiramisu
I was quite excited when I read what the Daring Bakers challenge for this month was gonna be… Tiramisu… And it would be hosted by two of my favorite blogs! Tiramisu is an old time favorite in this household and in fact something I make almost every year for New Years when we [...]
Coconut pineapple bundt cake
I have been working on the Daring Baker challenge for the last two days and all that time Tom has been anxiously watching the process and suggesting I finish it all for tuesday so he can take it to work and share with his coworkers… Unfortunately for him that is not [...]
Chocolate apple cake
There’s is something so utterly satisfying about good chocolate that I immediately said a wholeheartedly YES when Kate from Serendipity asked me if I would like to participate in a valentine chocolate cooking. Kate was kind enough to supply the chocolate for this and it was within days that I had a [...]

Cranberry pannacotta
I have a thing for pannacotta…. ever since I tasted the first (the first homemade version that is) pannacotta I am sort of addicted. It’s not that I make this dessert every week or even every month for that matter, but no matter what flavor I make; I love it every single time… [...]
Apple walnut clafoutis
Before I started blogging I had never heard of clafoutis, let alone tasted one. But I kept seeing gorgeous examples of this incredibly versatile and yet so easy dish around the internet quite often until I decided it was time to try it for myself. The first clafoutis I mad was of [...]
Last night we had a lesson in patisserie from Carle Douglas from Douglas Delights. We had a patisserie lesson before from Rob in the first course, but there is a big difference… Rob is passionate about cooking and everything else except patisserie I would say, while Carle is a master in making desserts and beautiful [...]
