Summer is upon us! That means it’s time for light, fresh and fruity bakes and those are generally my favourites. Over the years, I’ve posted quite a few wonderfully fruity recipes, which you can find in my recipe index. However, I thought it would be nice to highlight a few of those older recipes in […]

I’ve got a great recipe for you today! I baked this cake more or less on a whim, because we had a lot of strawberries and flat peaches lying around and I figured it’d be good to bake something with them before they started to perish. The result: a wonderfully fresh, summery cake with strawberries, […]

I don’t know about you, but I am one hundred percent ready for spring to arrive. Over the past week or so, we had wonderfully spring-like weather in the Netherlands and I even sat outside on my balcony reading in the sunshine last weekend! It was absolute bliss and it makes me long for more […]

Remember when I made a blueberry crumble for two a few weeks ago? Or maybe it was a few months ago – in my mind it’s still April; a global pandemic really messes with your sense of time, doesn’t it? Anyway, back to the crumble. It was such a delicious, easy dessert and a great […]

I bought blueberries on sale at the supermarket, but they were kind of mushy and disappointing, which made them perfect to put in a cake. Somehow, blueberries completely […]

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 […]

I made these turnovers back in December, but had my month all planned out blog-wise – for a change – so here I am posting the recipe now! It’s a really simple one that takes only a few steps and is done in a jiffy. Back in December 2013, I also made turnovers, but those were the […]

Okay, you’re probably thinking: Healthy cocktails? There is no such thing! While that’s probably true, these cocktails include some very healthy ingredients in addition to the obvious alcohol. They’re smoothie-cocktails, or smocktails, as I have dubbed them (still not sure I like the name, though). I hung out with two of my best friends yesterday, and we decided […]
