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 ...

Black Currant And Gooseberry Chia Jam {Sugar Free}
Last summer I made my first chia jam, with freshly picked Finnish strawberries. If you haven't made yet chia jam, now is the best time to give it a try, when we are surrounded with the abundance of berries and summer fruits. I picked plenty of black currants and red gooseberries last week end at my friend's countryside cottage, and guess what I did ...
Fluffy Vegan Coconut Macaroons or ‘Rochers Coco’
Sour, bitter, sweet, salty... In few days the French school where my son attends will organize the 'Days of Taste' (Journées du Goût).

I strongly support any initiative that instills in children the curiosity to taste and transmits the passion for food. So I happily ...

Crisp Sweet Polenta Fingers With Dry Fruits And Chocolate Dip
Tomorrow is Father's Day in Finland, and I am preparing a sweet treat inspired by chef Alain Ducasse, a godfather of French gastronomy. While polenta sticks are most commonly associated with savory fries, our beloved chef turn them into a dessert, how genious is that! My take on sweet polenta fingers are crisp and crunchy sticks, rich of seasonal ...
Strawberry Mint Chia Jam {Sugar Free}
Zero sugar or pectin needed to make this jam, thanks to the gelling power of the Chia seeds! By now you probably know that these tiny seeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids and rich in fiber. I use them in smoothies, oat meals or even in baking. But what really matters when it comes to jam, is that Chia seeds take a jelly-like texture when ...
French Tartine Looking For Jam With No Added Sugar
I already hear some of you say 'Sugar free jam does not exist'. That is right, in France, to be called 'jam' or confiture, a fruit preparation must contain a minimum of 55% sugar. But when I first tasted the St Dalfour Fruit Spreads, I decided they fully deserved the status of jam and a good spot on my breakfast table, along with my homemade (real) ...
