It’s funny actually that most people think that there is no place for desserts in their healthy or diet regime, and the truth is that you really are not supposed to eat it after dinner or lunch. The problem is that the main meals are usually bigger and heavier for our stomachs to deal with, [...]

Several years ago I was on a quest for the perfect vegan flan recipe, and I decided to take a shot at creating it myself. I was striving for authentic creamy lusciousness, albeit without all the eggs and condensed milk. I think I came pretty close...

I’ve always loved white Christmas and dreamed of streets covered with snow, heavy white trees and lot’s of joy, because, what’s a Christmas without some snow, right? And after months of almost spring weather outside, I woke up yesterday to see it’s all white! The snow kept coming for the whole day, showing us it’s [...]

This week I opted for a sweet bread (see? truly on a bread making kick!) and [...]
