Happy Halloween! Today I am baking a gluten free pumpkin bread. I do mean 'bread', in the French way, le pain, not the American classic, which is more like a cake.

Fig Crumble With Quinoa-Hazelnut Topping
"How do you come up with your recipes?" a friend asked me recently. Quite often a seasonal ingredient is inspiring me, such as luscious figs currently in the markets, and it all begins there. Baked in a pie, like in this indulgent fresh fig and almond cream pie I made last year? Turned into jam? As a pizza topping? Today I fancied a warm comforting ...
Khachapuri Georgian Breads
The first time I saw Khachapuri bread, I could only 'taste' it with my eyes.

Red And Black Currant Meringue Pie
When I came home from my three-weeks summer holidays, the first thing I did was to go straight to my garden, to check on my dear berry bushes. And there they were, the tiny ruby-red currants or groseilles, and a handful of blackcurrants, ripe for pick up.
