I have a thing for granola! I shared already three recipes on the blog, like this sunny Apricot, Cashew and Coconut granola I highly recommend you to try. All of my granola recipes are sweet, so when I found out from Luisa's blog that there is such thing as savory granola, I was puzzled at first. But knowing the lovely Luisa, whom I met last year ...

Celebrate the start of the new year like we French do, by making these decadent truffles, and enjoy them with your loved ones (or hide them away, they won't last very long, from personal experience). {Recette en français à la fin de l'article} ...
Spritz Bredele Christmas Biscuits
Last year, I shared with you the recipe of Leckerli Christmas biscuits. The Spritz biscuits are an other of the many kinds of bredele we bake in my family for the Christmas holidays, when comes chilly December. Spritz are part of my childhood and it is a tradition from the North Est of France (Alsace-Lorraine) I wouldn't miss for anything! Every ...
Pumpkin Bread
Happy Halloween! Today I am baking a gluten free pumpkin bread. I do mean 'bread', in the French way, le pain, not the American classic, which is more like a cake. I am super happy how this bread turned out: soft and fluffy, with hints of pumpkin and spices flavors. That lovely pumpkin shape makes it festive, ideal for the season! {Recette en ...
Fig Crumble With Quinoa-Hazelnut Topping
"How do you come up with your recipes?" a friend asked me recently. Quite often a seasonal ingredient is inspiring me, such as luscious figs currently in the markets, and it all begins there. Baked in a pie, like in this indulgent fresh fig and almond cream pie I made last year? Turned into jam? As a pizza topping? Today I fancied a warm comforting ...
Black Currant And Gooseberry Chia Jam {Sugar Free}
Last summer I made my first chia jam, with freshly picked Finnish strawberries. If you haven't made yet chia jam, now is the best time to give it a try, when we are surrounded with the abundance of berries and summer fruits. I picked plenty of black currants and red gooseberries last week end at my friend's countryside cottage, and guess what I did ...
Red And Black Currant Meringue Pie
When I came home from my three-weeks summer holidays, the first thing I did was to go straight to my garden, to check on my dear berry bushes. And there they were, the tiny ruby-red currants or groseilles, and a handful of blackcurrants, ripe for pick up. I planted four bushes of redcurrants and two raspberry patches when we moved in our house, ...

Hello summer and its gorgeous ripe red cherries! I am in a celebrating mood, as I am flying to France the day after tomorrow to spend time with my relatives and dear friends, before heading to other exciting places, including Paris for a few days! When I am happy, I bake. Prepare to treat yourself with these cherry mini cakes, filled with ...
Rustic Rhubarb Pie With Buckwheat Crust
My friend Virginie visited me recently and brought over one kilo of fresh rhubarb from her garden. I looove rhubarb (although rhubarb doesn't seem to like growing in my garden)! Last month I shared a rather sophisticated recipe of Rhubarb And Strawberry Tart On Sablé Breton. Today's rustic rhubarb pie is quite the opposite, totally fuss free: just ...
