Yes, summer may be leaving us, but it’s not completely gone yet. I still want to pretend it’s still here. I like fall and I like winter etc but I don’t like short days. In winter, as soon as you finish working it’s already really dark and you feel much more tired and eventually you […]

I love thyme. I have a very perky plant on my balcony and it needs regular trimming. It’s so aromatic and delicious and I love to pair it with sweet stuff, like most herbs! I devised this lemon and thyme and figs cake because figs were really delicious and pretty, and the thyme needed trimming […]
This is probably my favourite cheesecake so far. I am not a huge fan of cheesecakes but this was not overly sweet and all the flavours worked so well together! I hope you will give this one a go 🙂 Elements: Crunchy base – almond sablee Fruit – peach glee + saffron Chocolate cremeaux Cream […]
Hello! Happy Monday :). I love okra but I do not use them very often, I consider them somehow special (since they are not free) and when I cook them I want to make something as special as their taste. Since the inside of the okra has a very specific texture, I wanted to exploit […]

The entremet has several elements (as it should have!): -dark chocolate mousse -cherry and black pepper compote -dark chocolate cake -chocolate, hazelnut and black pepper croustillant […]
I grew up eating vegetarian pies usually made with puff pastry and filled with spinach and other delights. I wanted to stick to my favorite filling, which is spinach and leeks and I used tofu to make it creamy and a trick to obtain the perfect leek pattern. This recipe is quite easy and quick […]
I love making vegan caramel, I usually love further flavouring it with other elements (not just salt, but also whiskey, pepper or whatever makes you happy). For these tartlets I made a simple caramel sauce because the cacao pastry and the mousse were so rich I didn’t want to make it overwhelming. It was so […]
Hello weekend 🙂 This is a simple and super delicious bake. It allows you to play with your creativity for what concerns the decoration and it is a very lovely bite. The pastry is flaky and crunchy and sweet, with a nutty taste too. The creme pat filling is silky and well balanced in flavour […]
Hello weekend with this vegan saffron, cardamom, pistachio and rhubarb cake, decorated with palette knife buttercream flowers! One thing that definitely drives my baking choices is creativity and learning. I always want to try something new, test new techniques, and use flavors the are typically associated to savory foods too. Basically: I want to have […]
Vegan and gluten free oat patties 💚 this is my favorite weekly meal, I have been eating variations of these for ages and even my husband who when we met a few years ago was suspicious of me and my “weird cereals” especially in patties is a huge fan of these. Oat is just magic! […]
