Summer has finally made its way to the Netherlands! This means lots of ice cream, sun screen and sitting outside with a book. It also means there’s no way I’m going to put my oven on and actually bake something – and yet I have a recipe for you today. It’s a no bake cream cheese […]

It was one of my friends’ birthday yesterday and, as I do with most birthday parties these days, I decided to bake something for him. When I asked him what kind of stuff he liked in baked goodies, he said “uhm, something with caramel?” And it went without saying that chocolate would be a hit […]

In my previous post I talked about some of the things I’ve wanted to bake for a while, but haven’t yet. Today, I decided to change that – I made meringues! Or, at least, there was an attempt. And a pretty good one at that, if I do say so myself. About the title of this post, […]

There’s the classic tiramisu, but this strawberry and raspberry tiramisu is a great alternative if you don’t want to add cocoa or booze. Last week, however, I wanted something a little different than both of those. […]

Oh, and the most frustrating thing: they always stay super thin! That’s my friend Wesley. For the last couple of years I’ve always baked something for his birthday party. When […]

A few weeks ago, my favourite biscuits were on sale at the supermarket: cinnamon biscuits by a brand called Verkade (not sponsored, although I wish I was). They’re crunchy and sugary and cinnamony – they’re delicious. I don’t often buy cookies or biscuits at the supermarket, because I always figure they’ll be better if I make them […]

As you might have read in last Sunday’s post, I’ve been pretty busy lately, which also means I’ve hardly had the time to bake anything. You can imagine my excitement at finally being able to take my time in the kitchen and come up with a new and delicious recipe. At first, I figured I wanted […]
