Ever since I saw Antonio Bachour’s recipe of Opera in the So Good magazine, I was set to make it! Anyone following my blog closely knows I admire his work and I was eager to try one of his recipes. The stars aligned so that I had to make a chocolate dessert for a blog…

{Caramel Coffee Entremet} – Entremet Caramel si Cafea
This past month has been incredibly busy with classes (you can check out pictures here and here), but here I am finally able to catch up on posting recipes. It’s so refreshing to be able to seat at my desk again and write a post, answer comments and just enjoy this world of blogging at its…
{Coffee Banana Entremet} – Entremet cu banane si cafea
This year’s Christmas has been lovely. Plenty of time spent with my family, good food, positive thoughts and over all a good energy for the year that will soon be done. But of course I couldn’t let Christmas go away without making a cake – well, actually two, but the second one is reserved for…
{L’Opera} – Opera Cake
There’s no doubt that French Pastry is the ultimate way of baking and making desserts, it’s what we all look up to and work hard to learn and master. Cakes like Paris-Brest, St. Honore, eclairs, choux au craquelin or entremets have definitely sparked my love for French patisserie, for perfect techniques and elegant designs, for…
{Momofuku Chocolate Chip Cake} – Tort Momofuku cu picaturi de ciocolata
Once Momofuku, always Momofuku! This seems to be the case with my love for Christina Tosi’s recipes. Every single of her cakes are tantalizing in every possible way. All those gorgeous layers, those luscious sponge cakes and icings, all the different textures and colors are inspiring. Oh did I mention the great, addictive taste?! I’ve…
{Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies} – Fursecuri cu ciocolata
Day three of Christmas and we finished our cookie stash already! How it happened I don’t know! I’m not going to bake anything these days though. Instead, I decided to go through the older recipes I had and these chocolate thumbprint cookies really stood out! The dough recipe is pretty basic, inspired from a recipe by…
{Chocolate Coffee Pot de Creme} – Crema de ciocolata si cafea
Happy (end of) October, everyone! We’ve been having such a lovely weather here the last couple of days. It’s just perfect for long walks in the park, snuggled up under a blanket or drinking hot tea or enjoying a cookie and a glass of milk. If you add a good book in between, you could…
Latte cu dovleac si scortisoara
Luna octombrie este luna in care Green Sugar implineste 5 ani de cand ne ofera deserturi si bauturi fara calorii, dar cu gustul bine cunoscut de dulce. Pentru a sarbatori cei 5 ani, s-au hotarat sa inceapa o campanie prin care noi toti sa cantam La Multi Ani. Si daca la inceputul lunii va propuneam…
Tiramisu Entremet
Italy, coffee and mascarpone cheese go hand in hand – that’s always my first thought whenever I think of Italian cuisine and culture. I’m not a huge coffee lover though, I don’t drink it unless I’m in immediate need of an energy boost, but I love its aroma early in the morning and its flavor…
Mini torturi cu ciocolata si cafea sau Tiramisu my way
Cand ma gandesc la Italia si aromele ei, cafeaua e printre primele lucruri care imi vin in aminte, urmata indeaproape de Amaretto. Sunt doua arome care ma duc cu gandul imediat la bucataria si cultura italiana si ador sa le combin, cu toate ca nu sunt o bautoare de cafea. In mod ciudat insa, iubesc…
{Mocha Caramel Entremet} – Entremet cafea si caramel
I really missed making entremets! They sure are my favorite thing to create, bake and assemble so I was more than happy when I managed to put together the idea for this entremet, despite having an awful cold and a mood for sleeping and resting rather than creating and baking. Anyway, this is what I…
{Coffee and Chocolate Cheesecake} – Cheesecake cu cafea si ciocolata
Before baking this cheesecake, I had this perfecption about chocolate and cream cheese not working together. Before this, I just couldn’t imagine them both in the same recipe, but then I thought – wait a second, chocolate goes with everything, right?! And I decided to give it a go and boy, I was impressed. It…
