I made these little babies at culinary school. They were one of my favourite desserts we’ve made all term. Right after these. The class is Hot and Cold Desserts and has been my absolute favourite so far. The teacher is amazing, an award winner in bread and pastry sculpture. He is much more relaxed and trusting than the other chefs, simply allowing us to go off and cook what is … Continue reading →

Chocolate Chip Pikelets
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 →
Healthy Strawberry Breakfast Crumble
I fell so in love with this strawberry crumble, that I was inspired to make a healthier version. So I could eat it all the time. Because when I baked the original, I was eating it for breakfast, lunch, dessert and dinner, and I wanted to make one that I could happily eat for breakfast, lunch, dessert and dinner without feeling guilty. So this is what I came up with. … Continue reading →
Little Blueberry Tarts
Every Sunday night, we have a family dinner at my grandma’s house. She and my aunt make dinner. It is usually a big meal, typically Greek food (that’s the Greek side of my family) and always accompanied by a big salad, freshly baked bread and Greek pies, called pita. My aunt, who has her own blog called Simplest Most Delicious Food, always makes something delicious for dessert. There has been … Continue reading →
Mini Strawberry and Custard Galettes
I really, really love strawberries. And I really, really love custard. And I really, really LOVE pie. And all three of them together? Magic. I’ve recently been playing with putting custard inside my pies (see here and here) and I absolutely fell in love when I first tasted strawberry pie so I decided to combine the two together. And I’m so glad I did, it’s fantastic! Sweet, tart, fresh, fruity … Continue reading →
Little Nutella, Custard and Raspberry Pies
One of my favourite crepe filling combinations is Nutella, custard and fresh strawberries. I think it is absolutely delicious. The Nutella and the custard swirl and marry together making a thick chocolatey filling that isn’t too rich. The strawberries then cut through all the sweetness with their fresh fruitiness. I love it and wanted to make it in a pie version when I was in Poland. However, it was winter … Continue reading →
Little Apple, Raspberry and Custard Pies
I baked these when I was in Poland, for my mum’s birthday. She requested my little apple pies and I thought I’d make them a little differently by adding some custard and raspberries and trying out a new pastry recipe. It was winter in Poland, so raspberries weren’t available fresh, but my uncle makes his own preserves at the end of every summer so I used a jar of his … Continue reading →
Little Strawberry Pies
How do you react when you have a kitchen disaster? When your waffle maker breaks mid delicious waffle-making? Or your lemon tartlets crack? Or the chocolate chips melt inside the cookie batter you make? Or your poppy seed cake explodes? What do you do in such situations? I whinge. I worry. I tell everyone. Even if they don’t really care. And I sook about it. Like a little child. Yep, … Continue reading →
Lemon Tartlets
I am in Paris! It is beautiful! The weather is lovely, the streets are beautiful, the French Onion Soup is delicious and the Pain au Chocolat are absolutely to die for. TO DIE FOR. We have a huge day of walking, sightseeing, shopping and croissant-eating ahead so more about Paris later. For now, we have lemon tartlets. I really like lemon tart. I like lemon tartlets, lemon coconut bars, lemon … Continue reading →
