Daca pana acum v-am intampinat si adunat cu drag din toata tara la Bucuresti pentru a participa la cursuri si workshopuri, iata ca a venit momentul sa vin eu mai aproape de voi. Si ajungem de aceasta data la Cluj, un oras unde nu am avut ocazia sa ajung pana acum, dar ma bucur ca…

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…
{St. Honore Tartlettes} – Tarte St. Honore
French pastries are some of the best in the world, new all agree on that. What I love about them though is not necessarily the taste and texture, but the fact that they represent the norm, they are the base of everything else. Starting from any of them French desserts, one can easily create something…
{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…
{Strawberry Frangipane Tartlettes} – Tarte cu frangipane
There’s no secret that I love almonds and I love strawberries. They are both delicate ingredients that work well together or mixed with other flavors. But despite using them before in various combos, together or alone, I’ve never made frangipane before and I have to say that I fell in love with it. The delicate almond…
{Amaretto Diplomat Tart} – Tarta cu vanilie si Amaretto
I love tarts and tartelettes, but there’s one thing I’m not too fond of – making the crusts. I’m usually a very patient person, I like to work slowly and do the job well, but when it comes to these crusts, I’m a totally different pastry chef. So I’ve been looking for options and found…
{Lemon Coconut Tartlets} – Mini tarte cu lamaie si cocos
Playing with ingredients is definitely something I enjoy from time to time – and if I were honest, it’s one of the reasons why I became a pastry chef – the creativity and the possibilities are immense, it just takes imagination, knowledge and a bit of bravery sometimes. Not that combining lemon and coconut is brave……
{Chocolate Raspberry Tartlets} – Tarte cu ciocolata si zmeura
My morning walk always, but always, includes a market run. The vibe of the busy market excites me, there’s always something to catch my attention, there’s always fresh produce available and I never leave empty handed from there. This time it was lavender, beautiful fresh and highly fragrant lavender which I bought without thinking twice….
{Gluten Free Chestnut Tarts} – Tarte cu piure de castane
I gotta say, these tarts totally surprised me – the crisp and yet not overly dry crusts and the creamy, rich filling are a match made in heaven! And it’s all gluten-free! And delicious! Wait, I said that before, right?! But they were, my family literally devoured them and asked for a second batch! I had second…
{Mini Lemon Tarts} – Tarte cu lamaie
My first post on Facebook about these mini lemon tarts said they are the best I’ve ever made and tasted and that couldn’t be more true! These tangy, creamy, rich miniature tarts were gone in under an hour, that good they were. Now, I made tarts before from chocolate tarts to caramel and peanut butter tarts,…
{Puff Pastry Berry Tarts} – Tarte cu foietaj si fructe de padure
I’ve been wanting to make these puff pastry tarts for such a long time, but never got the chance to until today. Aren’t they pretty?! I love the color display and their flakiness. It’s amazing how a piece of dough can rise this much and turn into these amazing, beautiful, elegant, exquisite tarts. But wait,…
{Berry Chocolate Souffle Mini Tarts} – Tarte cu sufleu de ciocolata si fructe de padure
Scroll down for English! Am fost fascinata dintotdeauna de ciocolata si formele diverse pe care le imbraca in deserturi si trebuie sa recunosc ca rar mananc ciocolata in forma ei obisnuita, de tableta, mai ales ciocolata cu peste 50% cacao. Insa o prefer in deserturi si imi place sa vad cum se transforma si cum,…
