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 [...]
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… [...]

It had been a while since I last made panna cotta and I think the last flavor I tried was the lemon buttermilk pannacotta which was absolutely fabulous, but I wanted to try something different this time. I used the Panna cotta book from Camilla Saulsbury again and picked the cinnamon variety. The [...]
I don’t think I am making any of this in the right order but I’m having some trouble getting the right ingredients for the things I should be making. Angela was kind enough to give us a bonus recipe which we can use to substitute if necessary for another recipe. My plan was to make [...]
Chocolate fudge cakes
After spending way to much time away from the stove I figured it was time for some proper baking and what better recipes to try then Donna Hay’s? I love her recipes and have already quite a stack of favorites that I turn to time after time (the chocolate mousse recipe is [...]
Three variations to the one theme
Yesterday I all of a sudden realized that I had to complete both the Daring Bakers and the Daring Cooks this week if I wanted to have it completed before I go on holiday! Now I had been planning this cake for this week anyway, so that was no [...]
Blini's
Blini’s are traditional Russian buckwheat pancakes.
Why is a blini different then a regular pancake? Apart from the different method of baking them and the fact that you need to incorporate yeast in the mix etc. I really didn’t taste that big of a difference with the pancakes we would normally make here. I had [...]
