My dessert or cake trials start like an adventure. I often try out recipes that taste wise come close to my favorite flavours (caramel, praline, pistachio, citrus fruits or other fresh fruits, chocolate), but more often my trials involve ingredients (or techniques) that I haven’t tried before. To me, this kind of tests are what…
Entremet
{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…
{Chocolate Kalamansi Entremet}
Chocolate, kalamansi, ginger then again chocolate, textures and an elegant design is probably the best way to summerize this entremet. My love for these layered, classic cakes is no secret. There’s an entire section and category on the blog dedicated to them – they are probably the most beautiful and delicious cakes you can consider…
{Entremet cu ciocolata si kalamansi}
Cei mai bine de doi ani (doi ani deja?!) de blogging m-au pus fata in fata cu multe provocari in ceea ce priveste bucataria ori cofetaria. A inceput cu Adi si al lui internship (apropo, s-a deschis un post de intern asa ca eu zic sa va inscrieti!) si a continuat cu o multime de…
{Coconut Passion Fruit Entremet} – Tort cu fructul pasiunii
I’ve developed an obsession (or maybe better said passion) for tropical flavors lately. Kalamansi, lime, coconut, passion fruit, pineapple or mango, they’re all on my list of ingredients that simply can’t go out of stock in my kitchen these days. It must be their delicate aroma, their color and their texture that keeps me hooked…
{Pistachio Raspberry Entremet} – Entremet cu fistic si zmeura
Whenever I can get my hands on the brilliant Silikomart silicone molds I’m in heaven. Now, to be totally honest, buying baking equipment is addictive and not the cheapest hobby of them all. I’m really trying to hold back on it and only buy what I need, whenever I need it, making sure it’s something…
{Carrement au Chocolat}
There’s two people I absolutely love and admire when it comes to desserts: one is the brilliant Antonio Bachour, whose work I can’t stop staring at and one is the amazing Pierre Herme, the Picasso of modern pastry, the man who totally revamped the way pastries look and taste. I couldn’t choose between the two…
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…
{Chocolate Peach Entremet} – Entremet cu piersici si ciocolata
I’m totally in love with peaches lately. These soft, delicate, fragrant fruits are my summer addiction for sure – not a single day goes by without buying a new batch of peaches. I live steps away from a farmer’s market and I prefer buying everything fresh, especially ripe peaches. I thought this chocolate peach entremet…
{Riviera Cake} – Chocolate Lemon Cake
Inspired by the master of modern patisserie, Pierre Herme, this chocolate lemon cake must be the best I have made in 2015, if not the best I have ever made. Needless to say that Pierre Herme fascinates me, he is the Picasso of modern pastry after all and his desserts need no introduction. So when…
{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…
