A few weeks ago I bought a kilo of frozen raspberries for less than 4 euros. You can imagine I was quite pleased with myself! I love raspberries, but they’re always so ridiculously expensive, if you want fresh ones. Even frozen raspberries aren’t very cheap, usually. So, yes, I was very happy with this purchase, to […]

Now that summer is definitely over, I’m starting to crave those typically autumnal/wintery bakes again: cinnamon infused, aromatic cakes filled with plenty of nuts. Oh, who am I kidding, I crave those flavours all throughout the year. But now I have a good excuse to actually act on them again! This weekend I baked this beautiful bundt cake, […]

It’s been a while since I posted a recipe, or anything baking related for that matter. That’s because it’s actually been a while since I did some actual baking.

My midterms are over! Especially this last week was quite stressful, with the deadline for my research paper on Friday. But I made it, and I’m quite pleased with how my essay turned out. Now it’s just waiting for the grade… I hate that part. Anyway, now that the stress has subsided, I finally have time to […]

I love lemon. I’m pretty sure it’s my favourite flavour for just about anything: sweets, ice cream, tea… It’s also a great flavour to add to things like salmon or chicken. And then, of course, you’ve got the baked goods. If you go back through the recipes I’ve posted on here you’ll notice I add […]
Read MoreThere’s a storm going on where I live right now. A few weeks ago we had quite a big storm as well, and back then I decided to just stay inside all day. Today, however, it’s Saint Nicholas’ Eve (as you might have read about in my previous post) and I’m going over to my […]
