Halloween is around the corner and this year I'll show you how to make these adorable bats full of bliss! I'm the kind of girl who loves Halloween - but not the scary side of it. I love lighted up carved pumpkins (or anything edible made of pumpkins as a matter of fact), spooky spider webs, black cats decorations, witch hats ... and bats of course. ...
Chocolate And Pear Cake With Mapple Caramelized Hazelnuts
Bright red leaves covering the trees, afternoon goûters to pack for school… autumn is in the air! I’m the kind of person who loves the change of season, all the more after the exceptionally long and warm summer we enjoyed in Finland. To me, autumn means the return of knit jumpers, long walks in the forest, breathing the musty smell of fallen ...
‘Fraisier’ Strawberry Cake in Verrine {Dairy free}
Today I propose a summer dessert which is based on the French 'Fraisier', a classic cake traditionally composed of a génoise sponge cake, a mousseline cream and fresh strawberries. ('Fraisier' name comes from 'fraise', which means strawberry in French). But I wanted a lighter and dairy free version of this dessert and I chose to present it in glass ...

Green Asparagus and Ricotta Clafoutis

But clafoutis is so versatile you can also give it a savory twist! Rather than baking a pie or quiche with season's green asparagus, I turned them into a clafoutis, paired with ...
Chocolate Quinoa Nests & Easter Egg Energy Balls {Vegan}
When I was a child, it was the Easter bunny, or lièvre de Pâques, that brought us chocolate eggs at school or hid them in our garden. Of course like all kids, I would just eat as many eggs as I could get my hands on. Now as a (responsible) mom and true chocolate lover, I value good quality products and you know how those Easter eggs sold in shops ...
Matcha Tapioca Pearls Pudding With Whipped Coconut Cream {Vegan}
I tasted matcha green tea the first time in a chilled matcha latte, and fell in love right away with its flavor. Now I like almost everything with matcha, whether tea, dessert or cake. I personally find that smooth milky textures highlight best the green tea flavor, so I figured out it would work beautifully in a matcha pudding dessert. Today's ...
