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…

{Pistachio Raspberry Tartelettes} – Tarte cu fistic si zmeura
Truth is that the last couple of weeks, if not months, have been so so intense with classes and masterclasses and so much recipe research and tasting. Not that I am complaining as it’s been so fun and delightful! It’s like a dream job – making desserts and teaching people – it’s like living my…
{Mint Pistachio Tart} – Tarta cu menta si fistic
There’s two things that I love a bit too much in pastry – pistachio and praline. I always fall for these two flavors, regardless of what dessert it is. It could be a cake, it could be an ice cream (oh my, ice cream!) or it could be a tart, it really doesn’t matter as…
{Raspberry Pistachio Tartlets} – Mini tarte cu zmeura si fistic
Oh my, pistachio has become my weakness! Much like Superman’s kryptonite, except that I get stronger in its presence, I love it, I seek it, I enjoy working with it, I love its color and delicate flavor. And I believe that combined with raspberry, it becomes one of the best flavor combos there is! So…

{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…
{Pistachio Cherry Cheesecake Tart} – Cheesecake cu fistic si cirese
I’m well behind with recipe posts – I must be having about 3 more recipes queued to be published. I just lack the time to finish editing them just yet, being involved in so many offline projects that I hardly have time for anything else. But I’m here and not going anywhere, always here to…
{Pistachio Rose Cake} – Tort cu fistic si trandafiri
This pistachio rose cake brings a delicate Middle Eastern flavor to your table. Pistachio, rose water and a touch of cardamom are the main flavors of the sponge while the frosting, using mascarpone as a base, is rich, but at the same time delicate due to the addition of rose water and vanilla. Truth to be told,…
