As mentioned, I wanted to bring in some variety in my cookie assortment this year, so here goes the second Swiss Christmas cookie recipe, perfect to prepare with kids (I did so with my godchild), as you can decorate the cookies with sprinkles etc.!

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”

Apple-Sauce & Yoghurt Bundt Cake

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.
