Se pare ca am dat peste o noua obsesie – fursecurile. Am facut tare multe variante in ultima perioada si va spun ca nu ma opresc aici. Sunt intr-o misiune sa gasesc cele mai bune fursecuri de toate tipurile, caci mi se pare ca aceste produse de cofetarie au devenit asa, un fel de Cenusareasa…
Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies
I rarely bake anything that starts with “whole wheat” nowadays. Pastry is rarely about making something healthy. It’s focusing more on making something delicious, something to remember, to spoil your taste buds with. So whole wheat is not that important in pastry, but we do take into consideration the properties of the flour, mainly the…
Tort Momofuku cu fistic si citrice
Fisticul si Momofuku sunt doua notiuni pe care le ador. Fisticul prin aroma lui si verdele viu, superb, Momofuku prin simplitatea stratificarii si complexitatea retetelor, insa si prin ideile sustinute de creatoarea acestor deserturi, Christina Tosi. Iar acest tort Momofuku cu fistic si citrice le contine pe amandoua. Christina Tosi este un om pe care…
Momofuku Style Pistachio Citrus Cake
Momofuku must be my forever love! I simply adore the way Christina Tosi assumed her role as a food provider and dessert creator, her creativity and the way she turned something she loves into an empire more or less. Sure, all her desserts are really sweet, they are what she calls fast desserts, tiny bits…
Almond Meringue Bars
Meringue is one of the most mesmerizing products of pastry and for sure one of the most used ones – you can use meringue on its own, you can dry it out, you can incorporate in a sponge, add it in a mousse, you can use it as a macarons base and the list can…
Prajitura cu gem si bezea cu migdale
Prajitura cu gem este destul de cunoscuta in Romania si a fost in mod cert una din prajiturile copilariei mele. Insa aceasta prajitura se detaseaza de clasica aluat fraged – gem – aluat fraged + nuca, intrucat compozitia include un aluat fraged delicios care se topeste in gura, un strat de gem la alegere si…
Cheesecake Bars with Fruit Compote
I love summer and its fruit varieties. It must be one of the most loved seasons by pastry chefs due to all the colours and flavors available. It’s so easy to get proper flavor in a cake when you have berries available, when you have herbs all over the place. All you have to do…
Blueberry Crumble Muffins
It’s amazing how fruits can inspire a pastry chef! All these colours, all these flavors, the textures – it’s pure heaven for creativity. But at the same time it can easily be exactly the opposite. So this summer I decided to go back to the roots of baking a little bit, discover what fruits have…
Honeycomb Candy
Honeycomb has long fascinated me! For a while it felt like some sort of magic is going on with it and it foams up. I realized soon enough that there is no magic, it’s all chemistry and the reason honeycomb is so airy is the chemical reaction coming from the baking soda. What you are…
Tort Tiramisu
Tiramisu si a sa aroma subtila de cafea mi-a resetat putin ideea de gust de cafea adaugat in deserturi. Nu beau cafea de fel, dar o ador in deserturi, precum acest tort Tiramisu. De altfel, am tot folosit-o pe blog in diverse alte retete, precum Opera, entremet cu cafea si banana sau prajitura cu ciocolata…
Tiramisu Cake
Coffee – I’ve long had a hate relationship with the idea of adding it to desserts. Until Tiramisu happened! That is when I realized that coffee has a huge potential to shine in any dessert, even though it’s difficult to get close to this Tiramisu cake in terms of taste and texture. This recipe has…

Oatmeal Fruit Crumble
Summer is in full swing and I love it! All these fruits and fresh products, all these salads and aromas ready for be infused in desserts! It’s my favorite time of the year for sure! And it’s also the time when I avoid using the oven too much and focus more on desserts that require…
Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
These chocolate chip cookies are not only packed with chocolate, but so moist and delicious that one cookie alone won’t be enough!
Moist Banana Brownies
Brownies might as well become this blog’s signature as there are so many recipes already published, all of them delicious, fitted for every taste! You can choose between these raspberry brownies or these fluffy brownies of Pierre Herme, although if you love moist, gooey brownies, the 4 chocolate brownies might be a better choice. I…
Scoala de Vara by Olguta
Scoala de Vara este un curs de cofetarie gandit pentru pasionatii de cofetarie, incepatori sau intermediari, oameni care isi doresc sa descopere tainele cofetariei, pornind de la fursecuri la tarte, de la macarons la torturi, de la ceea ce reprezinta baza cofetariei catre produse mai complexe, dar care au in comun un singur lucru –…
Mini tarte cu matcha si zmeura
Continuam aventura cu matcha de la Nevis inceputa in articolul de zilele trecute cu aceste mini tarte cu matcha si zmeura atat de delicate in simplitatea lor. Exteriorul poate nu impresioneaza, insa interiorul iese in evidenta cu siguranta! O coaja nispoasa de pate sucree ce se topeste in gura, un gel de zmeura intens aromatizat…
Matcha Black Sesame Petit-Gateaux
Matcha Black Sesame Petit-Gateaux was not an easy cake to come up with. I had a hard time at first pairing matcha with other flavors, so I started looking for inspiration. Eventually I found Sadaharu Aoki who is a Japanese pastry chef living in France. His shop is known for the mix of Japanese flavors…
Monoportii cu matcha si susan negru
Mi-a fost destul de greu sa combin matcha cu alte arome la inceput, asa ca am inceput sa caut inspiratie si am ajuns la acest om pe care il admir foarte mult – Sadaharu Aoki. De origine japoneza, el traieste acum la Paris si detine o cofetarie ce reuseste sa imbine cu mare succes aromele…
{Pink Pepper Grapefruit Pavlova} – Pavlova cu grapefruit si piper roz
Pavlova is an international dessert, that famous it is! But with good reason as it is a dessert easy to make and can pack a lot of flavor. Moreover, you can make good use of the leftover egg whites or even recycle fruits that no one eats anymore.
