Sometimes I am all organized in terms of what I am going to cook during the week. I account for main courses, leftovers, lunches, sides, vegetables. And sometimes life gets in the way and I end up on Friday night with a fridge full of eggs, bread, milk and chicken… And no will to cook….
Best Ever Chocolate Vegan Cake
Last weekend was all about baking. I made 2 Chocolate Cake Loaves, 40 Peanut Butter Molasses Cookies, 10 Light Brioche Buns and 1 Banana-Pecan Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. I feel tired just wring this… Chocolate cakes and most of the cookies were for a charity bake sale. I volunteer with the Forgotten Ones Cat Rescue…
Vegan Chocolate-Prune Cake
Sometimes I get creative when I describe vegan baking and I start using “egg-free” and “dairy-free” phrases. I find that a lot of people react badly when they hear “vegan” and “cake” in the same sentence, however “egg-free” and “dairy-free” encourages people to try. But no matter what I call it, the reality is that it is…
Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies… or almost swirl brownies
My New Years resolution from 2014 obviously did not work out. In fact, I haven’t been inspired and I haven’t been photographing much for myself (photos for clients don’t count). But yesterday I felt creative and really enjoyed taking photos. I think it’s the weather. It’s getting warmer here and brighter outside. Also, these Brownies…
{Recipe} Affogato
Affogato Affogato means drowned in Italian. Sounds ominous, but tastes delicious. It’s basically ice-cream and espresso and what could be better on a hot summer night? When I was little, there was a similar treat in Russia called café glacé – which despite its french name was just coffee and ice cream. I was too…
{Recipe} Cherry Frangipane Tart
It’s been too long… Way too long… A few months ago I had a lovely dinner at my friend’s place and somewhere between salad and main course her husband asked me how’s my site going. Well, I said, I haven’t really photographed anything lately. And, of course, he asked me why. I spent a few minutes explaining…
{Recipe} Nutella stuffed cupcakes
When I started experimenting in the kitchen, I wasn’t trying to cook, I was trying to bake. Baking is my first love. Surprisingly, I started not with cookies, nor with muffins or cupcakes; I started with fancy layered cakes with different kinds of mousse fillings and homemade lady fingers. Those cakes turned out so great,…
{Recipe} Classic Scones
It’s New Year’s Eve today and I’d like to finish this year on something positive. It’s been a very tough year. I think it’s safe to say that it was the most difficult year for me and I’m glad to leave it behind. And what’s more positive than husband making me scones for breakfast because I…
{Recipe} Nutella Brownies
This is not a new recipe. I tried it first time two years ago around the holidays and it was a hit, but I never got a chance to post it here on my blog. Actually, I haven’t really posted anything on my blog for about two years until a few months ago. Oh, well……
Cranberry and White Chocolate Cookies
I have an annual tradition of hosting a Holiday Brunch for my girlfriends. We see each other throughout the year, but it’s quite rare when we can all get together in a small intimate group without our partners. So, once a year I host a Brunch at my place where we drink copious amounts of…
