Lazy Sundays. Oh how I love them. Last Sunday, was an extremely lazy one. A not too late wake up, but the entire morning was spent in bed, with a coffee and the laptop, working on my blog, browsing through Foodgawker, writing some emails and then reading all the Sunday papers, a favourite ritual of mine. It was cold out, and I love being rugged up and inside when it … Continue reading →

Now that I’m grown up and have a bit a lot more … Continue reading →

They are toffee-like and caramelized due to the secret ingredient: pearl sugar. They have little pockets of air inside. They are flaky and buttery and soft through the middle. They pull apart like brioche or croissants. Yes, … Continue reading →

You just mix, cook and eat. See? Easy pancakes. This is the recipe I always whip up when I’m craving pancakes. This is the one I make as an after-school snack for my brother. Sometimes I make it … Continue reading →
