The electricity department thinks it to be funny to cut the juice for so long today. Sigh… Today is my birthday and usually I don’t really celebrate much, but I thought it would be fun to reward my readers with my mums carrot cake recipe and most importantly with a cool GOA Handicraft Giveaway, sponsored […]

Persimmon Tart – Hachiya, Diospyros Kaki
Yes, I am back and as I had promised last Friday, while battling the notorious cold that has been taken a round here locally, I prepared an informative post about the Persimmon fruit. No idea what this fruit is? Well, you are at the right place, because some time back I myself didn’t know about […]
Apple Flax seed Cupcakes with Lemon Glaze
Sometimes a rest is required, a break from the ever so fast running world. We all need to replenish our energy levels and creative notions every now and then. We are not robots, or we wouldn’t be able to create out of inspiration. Luckily, we are just humans, or the world and especially the internet […]
Yogurt cake – Gateau au yaourt
Sometimes we end up with a million things to do. Tedious chores, unfinished work, raw projects and ideas, the list is endless with responsibilities and we all have our own shares of duties to care for every day. No wonder we end up overwhelmed at times, right? But then we want to indulge in the […]
Esterhazy Torte
We grew up with french pastries and Desserts at home. My mother had some knowledge of Austrian cakes and cooking and would present us some of her creations every once in a while, but our food at home was a 90% French. So when I studied Hotel management in college, I learned THE Austrian/ Middle […]
Apple Tart
Time to bake some Apple Tart! What do you think? Apples are falling and besides that other fruits are ready to be harvested. Again, I wished I was in Europe now, to pick what I had planted and to preserve the surplus fruits. Sometimes we even make juice of certain fruits. My parents belong to […]
Rhubarb Strawberry Jam Roulade – Swiss Roll
One of my absolute favorite cake desserts ever is the famous and all time loved Roulade, also known as Swiss Roll in some parts of the world. It’s a quick and easy cake recipe, which can be prepared in 30 – 40 minutes time, thus making it a perfect last minute bake off recipe. Imagine […]
Traditional Mirabelle Tart
When I think of Mirabelle, I imagine green orchards and a comfortable warm summer breeze tickling tree leaves, all this in an other time. The Air is fresh, the world seems sleepy and so very peaceful! Maybe I see some kids playing down the river or even 2 girls sitting and reciting popular poems, good […]
Mediterranean Carrot, Olive, Anchovy, Sundried Tomato cake
Sometimes cakes don’t need to be sweet, stuffed with rainbow colored candied fruits and backed with a hint of rum aroma. Several of us might not have left their ideas wander in those waters till now , so the notion might sound strange and bizarre. Nevertheless, I believe several friends and folks will agree, that […]
Rhubarb Tarte
Our house is a real treasure cove, with useful old things and precious collectables. Whenever the time allows it, (which doesn’t happen often) I like to search through forgotten attic boxes and cellar cupboards. I had picked up that habit as kid one fine afternoon when I was alone at home. Precisely I had actually […]
Madeleine
Madeleine, the sophisticated little shell formed cake treats, are next to tarts and crepes, exactly what I would define typically traditionally french. If you don’t know Madeleine then I can tell you that you are missing out big time on some of the best tea time treats in this world! In our house, it is […]
Egg liqueur cake
We Europeans love Egg liqueur! It’s an omnipresent treat at family meeting, feasts and the such. It is served and used simple as digestive drink after a meal or as an improver in desserts such as ice cream or even cake dishes. The creamy yellow goodness is a smooth, egg based alcohol type, which can […]
