My reluctance to measure and weigh the ingredients has lead to make this recipe. This is the easiest ‘Flourless’ Chocolate Almond Cake recipe you can find.

There is a traditional Japanese sweet snack called ‘Karinttō’ which I love always. It’s a deep-fried sweet biscuit sticks coated with unrefined dark brown sugar same as muscovado. I have never made ‘Karinttō’ but this easy-to-make ‘Muscovado Coated Nuts’ are even tastier than ‘Karintō’ and healthier. However, I always make a small amount at a …

‘Rugelach’ is a Jewish pastry and it attracted my attention when I was looking for a recipe that I can use leftover cream cheese. The article I found was about food in NY and I found ‘Rugelach’ is a new craze. I have never tasted authentic Jewish ‘Rugelach’ and I don’t know what I bake …
My mother’s doughnuts were not round. They were sticks and my sisters and I loved them. And our children, her grandchildren, loved them, too. Her neighbours also loved them.

I used to make this dessert for my children quite often. It was one of their favourites, but they were in doubt at first because they had never tasted cooked Bananas before. This tart tastes best when it is cold. I recommend to cool it completely. I have cooked it for the first time in …
This recipe is based on my ‘Shortbread Butter Biscuits’ recipe. I simply add 1 tablespoon of Matcha powder to it. If you like stronger Matcha flavour, add more Matcha for extra bitterness.
