My mother has always made chocolate salami for Christmas and New Year’s Eve since I was a little girl.She’d keep it simple or add walnuts and raisins, but it was always delicious. I wanted to try something new. We ate at a restaurant a few weeks ago, and for dessert I had a brownie with […]
If you search honey cake on the internet most probably you will find the Medovik cakes, which are really famous and also delicious. But this recipe is Honey cake or as we called it in Romania, Albinița, which is something else. You have 4 layers of honey cake filled with semolina cream and plum jam, […]
I love the combination between walnuts and plum jam, or any jam. Tartlets are mini tarts that take a little longer to make but look good and are easy to grab and eat on the go. I believe this is a well-known recipe, particularly in Romania, and you can use any type of jam or […]
It’s easy to make a sponge cake. You know why? Because most probably you have all the ingredients in you pantry or fridge. It’s not that complicated or time consuming and in the end you can fill it with anything, fruits, creams, chocolate, cheese, jams. I used a fresh cheese as a filling because we […]
These Austrian cookies made their way to every holiday table, filled with whatever jam you desired.It’s the perfect breakfast sandwich with coffee or tea, but they’re also extremely delicious, and what I like about them is that you can add any kind of nuts and jam to make it different and unique every time. These […]
Don’t be afraid of a Bundt cake, it’s just cake in a Bundt pan. For years I’d seen al these beautiful shaped cakes and all this time I thought it will be so hard to make them and have that perfect shape. Well I’m not afraid anymore, I bought a Bundt pan and started to […]
There is no Romanian holiday without this salad, which, despite the title, can be made with pork, chicken, or turkey meat. Boeuf is French for beef, but I used chicken instead. This salad is typically served as an appetizer or side dish, and it is equally delicious without the meat. The mayonnaise binds together all […]
This year is baby’s first Christmas, so we want to start some family traditions with him. When I was little, these kind of sugar cookies weren’t the ones my mother used to make for us. She did made cakes and cookies for us but not like that, although extremely tasty and good. I remember she […]
This is the first time I`ve tried paccheri pasta. They look amazing but a little challenging to catch on the fork .I had some roasted peppers in the freezer and thought it would make a great sauce for pasta. Bell peppers must be roasted and peeled. Also I added a fresh sausage in the sauce, […]
Bruschetta is toasted bread topped with whatever you want. It’s the best appetizer because you can never go wrong with it. I normally like a classic bruschetta with tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella in the summer. But this delicious bruschetta with mushrooms, mozzarella, and onions is perfect for autumn.
