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, ...
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!
