• end of Summer treat – rustic plum cake

  

  I don’t know how about you but I’m still not ready for Autumn. Summer spoiled us here in Scotland this year, with really hot, dry and sunny days. Even now – first days of September, although cloudy and rainy, but still very warm and humid with temperatures around 15°C at night. Which is very unusual, […]

• raspberries, gingerbread & vanilla pudding trifle

  

  Let’s be honest, there are times when cooking (or healthy cooking as you wish) stays on the sidelines. And in my case it’s a heatwave. As soon as temperatures of 25°C hits the Scottish coast, it’s not the time to sit in the kitchen more than it’s absolutely necessary 🙂 When the heatwave hits the […]

• apricot pancakes

  

  That’s a really old recipe and really old photos, but I have a fondness for these apricot pancakes. Recipe comes from a recipe book from the 80’s. I’ve made them years ago, but still when I look at these photos it reminds me of hot Summer days when life was a bit more gentle. Not […]

• lazy oat and carrot bake

  

  I saw this baked oats dessert idea so many times on Instagram that I could not resist and finally tried it as well. It’s a kind of TikTok recipe, where you put together couple ingredients, that sometimes doesn’t really go together, and prepare in a way you usually wouldn’t choose (like making mash potatoes from […]

• chocolate chia pudding

  

  Really low carb themed dessert today, not sweet for most of the people, for me sweet enough to be a dessert 🙂 Obviously you can alter this recipe to your liking and needs. Personally I love combination of chocolate (cacao) and raspberries, and warmth of pudding mixed with frozen fruits, that’s melting over it. Add […]

• pleasure, but not guilty – raspberry pavlova

  

  I remember making my first Pavlova – the one you can see on the photos. I was excited and terrified in the same time. I’m a master of making baking mistakes, just because I never stick to the recipe and tend to “simplify” the methods if I feel like something can be done easier or […]

• Instagram vs reality: crepes roulade with mascarpone & cream (#low carb #keto friendly)

  

  I saw this post on Instagram and decided I need to make my version of this dessert. Because I was only guessing what it’s made of (apart from crepes), there is no information how it’s called or what ingredients they used, I decided that my go to ingredients will be mascarpone and cream. Whipped cream […]

• funny fruit cake (no bake, also vegan option)

  

  Looking from far away you could say that I’ve made a cake with tomatoes. But it’s only guava slices. That’s one of my older recipes, very summery, no bake cake based on whipping cream and jelly. You can also prepare it as vegan option, using coconut milk and vegan gelatin. Great idea for an evening […]

• summer party desserts / kids party desserts

  

  I don’t know if you make any summer garden parties in this crazy 2020, but if you do, check out this idea. It’s hard to call it a recipe, because there’s no specific set of ingredients or preparation, but it was published on my old blog couple years ago and it was very popular, so […]

• simple and easy strawberry trifle

  

  This dessert reminds me the ones that all the mums were making for kids birthday parities when I was a child. Simple, easy to make with basic ingredients (apart from mascarpone that didn’t exist in my childhood), looking kind of fancy and extra in the same time. Any of the kids party couldn’t have been […]
