A savory clafoutis, you may wonder? The French clafoutis is originally made with sweet cherries, baked in a flan-like mixture, composed of eggs, flour, sugar and milk. 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}

Picture this: your spoon is piercing through ...
Chocolate-Dipped Almond Horns (Mandelhörnchen)
The holiday season is near and it's that time of the year where I put my hands deep into biscuit dough. It's a family tradition from my childhood, where we all get busy in the kitchen baking all kinds of lovely Christmas biscuits - or bredele, as we call them in my home region. After the Leckerli and Spritz biscuits I shared with you last year, ...
Raw Blueberry Tarts
With the heat wave we currently have in Finland (no complain after a long winter!), I haven't been baking as much as usual. The fans are on full speed inside the house, so switching the oven on is just not an option. At the same time, it's blueberry season over here, and forests are full of the gorgeous fresh berries. I picked a big bucket of ...
