Years ago I would have definitely not considered vegan desserts. But now I am beginning to like them, they begin to grow on me in a way. First of all, because all the ingredients feel clean and somehow I feel less guilty about eating these desserts. Second of all, despite all belief, vegan desserts can…
Focaccia – the most delicious bread!
The title may be a bit of a catch-phrase, but when I first made this focaccia, I ate almost a quarter of it while hot. Don’t blame me though, it’s so fluffy and delicious, so moist and fragrant! The recipe is not difficult to make either, but it does require durum wheat flour which I…
Focaccia cu pesto verde
Cred ca toata lumea cauta acum putina liniste in aceasta nebunie. E parca un paradox – liniste pe strazi, dar tumult in interior. Si gatitul e cea mai la indemana solutie. Unii invata acum sa gateasca sau sa prajitureasca ceea ce inainte nici nu aveau curaj, altii se intorc la ce faceau candva sau ce…

Brownies cu tahini
Daca ma urmariti de ceva timp, stiti ca am o pasiune pentru brownies. Poate ca nu am vociferat-o pana acum, dar multitudinea de retete de pe blog sta dovada. Multe dintre aceste retete au devenit in timp si preferatele voastre, nu doar ale mele, precum aceste brownies cu zmeura sau minunatele brownies cu patru tipuri…

Cheesecake Fraisier
Au inceput sa apara capsunele (nu romanesti, evident, dar unele sunt destul de aromate chiar si asa) si mi s-a parut potrivit sa impartasesc cu voi aceasta reteta delicioasa de cheesecake Fraisier realizat la rece cu fistic si ciocolata alba. Capsunele sunt printre cele mai versatile fructe, potrivindu-se extraordinar cu o multime de alte ingrediente…
Fraisier Cheesecake
French know how to make desserts, don’t they?! The classics of French pastry are well known around the world and Fraisier is most definitely one of them. But this version is not your classic Fraisier, but it takes inspiration from it. It is in fact a Fraisier cheesecake with a delicious pistachio sponge cake, cream…

Workshop Entremets – cursuri de cofetarie
Luna februarie a lui 2020 a inceput in forta cu un curs care imi este tare drag, poate si pentru ca tematica in sine mi-a aprins pasiunea pentru cofetarie si ma bucur tare mult cand am ocazia sa o vad la fel de intensa si in cursantii mei. A fost o grupa tare frumoasa si…
Fursecuri cu picaturi de ciocolata fara gluten
Adaugam astazi la colectia de fursecuri cu picaturi de ciocolata inca o reteta, de aceasta data una fara gluten. Trebuie sa recunosc ca nu ma asteptam ca aceste fursecuri sa fie totusi atat de bune! Si fara gluten si fara lactoza. Experienta mea cu produsele fara gluten nu a fost wow pana acum, produsele coapte…

Francisco Migoya – de la arta la cofetarie
Sunt multi cofetari pe care ii urmaresc cu drag si unde gasesc mereu inspiratie, atat din punct de vedere al tehnicilor de lucru, cat si din punct de vedere uman adesea, in timp ce unii mi se par pedagogi minunati. Pe Francisco Migoya insa il urmaresc pentru pasiunea lui incredibila pentru tot ceea ce face,…
Francisco Migoya – from art to pastry
There’s plenty of people I follow and find inspiration at around this world – some chefs for their attention to details, others for their humanity and way of approaching things, others for their teaching skills, some for their craziness in decor or flavors. And Francisco Migoya for his deep passion for everything he gets involved…
Basil Lemon Cake – Recipe by Pastry Workshop
Basil is my one true love in terms of aromatic herbs, but it’s an aroma I discovered only a few years ago and I actually hated it before. I didn’t like it in savory dishes, but once Diego Lozano introduced me to it in desserts, I was hooked. I have made countless basil desserts over…
Tort cu busuioc si lamaie
Busuiocul, iubirea mea, aroma pe care nu o mananc niciodata in feluri de mancare sarate, dar o ador in prajituri. Nu e prima reteta cu busuioc de pe blog si cu siguranta nu va fi ultima. Asta pentru ca busuiocul este prima aroma care m-a scos din sfera de comfort, indreptandu-mi atentia spre zone mai…
Aromele – perceptia savorii unui produs
Perceptia savorii unui produs = gust + aroma + textura + factorul X Gustul este ceea ce simt papilele gustative Aroma este ceea ce percepe simtul olfactiv Textura este ceea ce percepem in gura in afara de gust Factorul X, conform The Flavor Bible, este ceea ce percepem cu ajutorul simturilor, inclusiv emotiile. Savoarea unui…

How to write a recipe like a pro
Food blogging and recipe writing sounds fun, isn’t it? It does sound like the dream job and many people would say “ah it’s just a recipe”, but they forget about the work behind a recipe, the effort of baking it, testing it and make the needed changes sometimes, the time spent writing it and the…
