The air outside is getting colder and the lust for some me-time (or friends time) in the afternoon with a comforting cup of tea or coffee is also getting bigger. At least for me. This tart is a nice alternative to a heavy cake, as the dates give lots of sweetness, but doesn’t really leave you with a bad conscience… Continue reading “Pre-Advent Cinnamon & Dates Tart”
Oh my!! This cake is a real find. Super juicy and absolutely delicious. It matches the colder season with the apple sauce (where you could of course even prepare your own and not use a bought version) and with the hint of cinnamon, it slowly accompanies you into the autumn season.

Sometimes its just super nice to reminisce about the last vacation you had…and for me this involves the thought of a delicious Valdostana. Last time I enjoyed a piece was at the pool side for lunch in Italy. But what is a Valdostana? It’s a puff pastry quiche style dish filled with ham and cheese. Perfect to go with a green or cucumber salad.
Fall is really here now – the cold temperatures definitely show this. So this heralds the soup season…
Here is the first soup of the season recipe which has a little tang to it with the special topping, giving the pureed consistency of the soup a little crunchy touch to it and the pear adds freshness. Of course you can leave out the pear if you prefer.

It’s cake time! This is another reason I like the end of summer and the start of the colder season. It gets colder outside and a coffee & cake combo in the afternoon is just pure bliss. Relax a bit, either with a good friend, catching up on life or just for yourself with a little me-time. Just as a little info – the cake is not super sweet with the amount of sugar, but just right, for my taste at least!

The last sun rays are warming our souls and just before we go into the whole autumn food (which I am very much looking forward to!), a salad is just what you need. And figs are great this time of year and give the little extra to the recipe.
