Another chocolate cake recipe in less than one month? It seems so...Blame the cold weather of the last week and the early mornings, when I am looking for a companion for my strong Turkish coffee. As I also started to clean up the kitchen of the things that are usually forbidden during the Pesach holidays - coming up in less than one month in a chametz-clean kitchen near you, I decided to finally use some of the things that were in my pantry for a longer time. Add a pinch of creativity and this delicious chocolate cake was born, that even my big one, usually very critical towards everything I do - teenage years may last longer than expected - noticed that it is really something special. Ingredients 2/3 cup grated almonds 1/2 cup grated coconut 1 1/3 cup white flour 7 gr. baking powder 1/2 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup brown cocoa dissolved in warm water 2 tablespoons honey 50 pistachio grated, for the decoration Directions Heat the oven at 250C, at least 10 minutes before starting the baking...

I've started to experiment lately with turmeric, either as the classical 'golden milk' or in savory recipes, as a coating for the fish. One of those mornings, I had another genius ideas - thank you baby D. for waking me up at 6.30: why not create my own turmeric cookies. However, I had to find also a balance for the strong taste of this spice, therefore, I matched it with cinnamon and some freshly grated ginger too. The results were very easy going, delicious and a good companion for the lunch box or any other short trip snacks. It can be done easy and baked within one hour. What can you expect more from a cookie? Ingredients 700 gr. white flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 200 gr. white sugar - brown sugar is also a good option 1 tablespoon turmeric 1 tablespoon cinnamon 125 ml. sunflower oil 4 medium-sized eggs, beaten 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger Directions Heat the oven at 250C, at least 10 minutes before starting the baking. Add a parchment paper on a big tray.  Add...

I've tried my hand on scones several times in the last blogging years , very often with tasty results. They are easy to prepare, always delicious and with a low chance of failure. All you need is a bit of imagination and some basic ingredients - like flour, baking powder and salt. The rest can be easily matched from the fridge or pantry. Yesterday, I was thinking to have some of them again, because wanted to have some afternoon snacks and we were quite out of good treats. You can have those scones with a cuppa or a big coffee mug, fill with jam - my latest love is a fig jam that I hope it will never finish - or add some extra cheese for some dairy taste. I was very happy to find an extra use of the Skyr Yogurt, an Iceland-made product which I instantly fell in love with a couple of years ago and would love to explore more in some next posts. Brought from Norway over thousand years ago, Skyr is officially classified as cheese. It has the consistency of the strained yogurt but with ...

Pita bread, simple or filled with cheese, sometimes even with plum jam, used to be an usual food in my childhood and since I started to do my own baking I tried more than once to prepare it, with results that were considerably better than my home-made foods as a child. As in January I haven't cooked or baked anything interesting - but stay tuned as a fantastic foodie news will come tomorrow - this afternoon I decided to use some ingredients available in the kitchen and get back to some serious baking. To be honest, it was also the pressure of not having any bread left so it was an emergency situation we were dealing with.  But it was actually a great occasion to offer to my kiddo my childhood staple for the first time, while also enjoying some bites, although in a heavy oily ambiance. The good thing is that I survived the experience which also involved high-temperature frying without any serious burning incident, which was a great achievement. During my last Hanukkah preparations...

When I am out of bread in the house, I don't worry, as I always have in my pantry enough ingredients to create fast savory substitutes which might be much better than any other baking product I can find on the market.  I've tried the zucchini and savory muffins recently , but this time I wanted to learn better how to use the cornflour which is an ingredient I hardly use more than once the year, if ever.  The following improvised recipe was easy to prepare and bake and delicious enough to disappear in less than half a day.  Ingredients 250 gr. cornflour 2 cups white flour 8 gr. baking powder 2 medium eggs 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt 500 gr. butter milk 1 tablespoon Osem consomme 150 gr. black sesame for decoration Directions Warm the oven at 250C, at least 15 minutes before you are ready. In a muffin iron, add 12 colourful muffin sheets. Mix the ingredients well, until you have a compact paste. Pour it into the muffin papers. In the end, spread the black sesame seeds. Bake it...
