The word tiramisu means “pick me up” in Italian, and while this dessert isn’t the traditional coffee-flavoured version, it is precisely the type of mood-boosting dessert we need in the summer. My raspberry tiramisu is a fresh-tasting take on the original, with layers of whipped […]
It didn’t take much to discover the favourite food of Sansa Stark, and I would be remiss if I didn’t include my version of her beloved lemon cakes to sweeten up our GOT finale feast table. A simple, one-bowl yogurt cake batter, flavoured with fresh […]
When it comes to cocktails I have a soft spot for anything spicy. In my mind, they whet the appetite at the start of a restaurant meal, and whether that makes sense or not I’m here for it. The key to the spicy kick in […]
There are times in one’s life when nothing but warm bread slathered in herb-y, garlicky butter and melted cheese fresh out of the oven will do. And since I’m a compassionate sort of person, I developed a recipe that will deliciously (and easily!) satisfy said […]

Swedish cheesecake is my kind of dessert: it’s comforting, but not too sweet, and can be made in a jiffy. Rather than the cream cheese typically used in North American cheesecake, the Swedish version uses cottage cheese (and traditionally homemade cottage cheese to boot) and […]
Pre-made gnocchi is one of my favourite shortcut ingredients to buy when I’m hosting a dinner party. Sure, it’s a simple enough pasta to make yourself from scratch, but in my opinion, unless you’re making a flavoured gnocchi (like truffle or beet, for example) you might […]
