I believe Momofuku Milk Bar needs no introduction! Supported and run by Christina Tosi, the new Masterchef judge, the Milk Bar has known a burst of success over the last couple of years and its recipes have been labeled as complex and difficult to master. But I took this as a challenge and commited myself…
Amazing recipes
{Chocolate Bacon Cake} – Tort cu ciocolata si bacon
If you’ve been following this blog for a longer period of time, you should know that I like flavor combinations that step out of the ordinary and it’s not the first time I’m using bacon in desserts – these cookies were delicious too! But there’s something about the idea of a chocolate bacon cake that…
Raspberry Lemonade Cake – Tort cu zmeura si lamaie
Ever since Christina Tosi replaced Joe Bastianich in the new Masterchef season, I’ve been slightly obbsessed with her recipes. She’s a pastry chef and I am somehow excited to see pastry chefs stepping out on tv shows like this one. I kept reading on various blogs that the recipes found in her Momofuku Milk Bar book are time…
{Raspberry Cheesecake Bars} – Prajitura cu branza si zmeura
I hate throwing away leftover ingredients, therefore sometimes, like today, a baking day starts with scouting the fridge and my magic cupboard (aka the place where I keep all the ingredients that aren’t at risk of going stall if not kept at a certain temperature) and coming up with a recipe to use all those ingredients….
{Empire Biscuits} – Fursecuri Empire
Empire Biscuits, also known as Imperial Biscuits, German Biscuits or Double Shortbread, are sandwich cookies popular in UK, particularly Scotland. It is very similar to a linzer cookie, being formed by sandwiching 2 shortbread cookies together with raspberry jam. Nothing out of the ordinary till here, but then the cookie is glazed with a simple…
{Gluten-Free Magic Cake} – Prajitura magica fara gluten
I’ve recently been invited to take part in a lovely campaing that focuses on special diets, such as gluten-free, grain-free or lactose-free and I said “yes”. I’ve been playing with the idea of gluten-free cakes lately so this campaign came at the right time. This post is one of the many recipes coming up as…
{Fudgy Chocolate Loaf Cake} – Chec simplu cu ciocolata
And there are days when I don’t feel like stepping in the kitchen at all, there are days when I feel like chewing on a store-bought dessert and don’t even look at my baking pans or ingredients… but then I snap out of this mood and remind myself the baking, and cooking for that matter,…
{Double Chocolate Muffins} – Muffins cu ciocolata
After a fancy dessert like Religieuse, it was a must to make a simple, basic one and the first thing to come through my mind was chocolate – I always go back to it when in need of comforting desserts – but this time I put it in some muffins and moreover, I doubled the…
{Chocolate Mug Cake} – Tort de ciocolata la microunde
I don’t always have the time to make ellaborate desserts, but my sweet tooth doesn’t care about that. In exactly this situation I was today – I just needed a quick sweet fix, one that had chocolate and could be served with the fresh strawberries I just bought. And this chocolate mug cake seemed like…
{Chocolate Brioche Pizza} – Pizza cu ciocolata
You surely don’t correlate pizza with chocolate, don’t you?! I didn’t either until today. Here’s the thing: I had a batch of brioche dough in the fridge for a simple brioche bread which we love with a glass of milk and it’s nice to have around for a quick breakfast. But then my little man…
{Red Wine Chocolate Cake} – Tort cu ciocolata si vin rosu
Chocolate and red wine is a combination that always tingles my taste buds. The dark, bittersweet chocolate and the ruby red wine make up the perfect picture in my mind. It’s a romantic combination, something I imagine having with my loved one on a special day or romantic dinner – although this combination is not…
{Pear Crumble Dessert} – Desert cu pere si sos de ciocolata
I’ve been dreaming about this pear crumble dessert for weeks. The thing is, when I’m ill or feeling down, I dream about desserts, it’s my instant fix towards feeling better. I just take a pen and a notebook and draw desserts, design recipes, write recipes, make sketches over and over again. If you’d see my…
