Apricot Scones
Starting the weekend with these extra large flaky apricot scones studded with fresh apricots and topped with a sweet almond glaze. These scones have light buttery slightly sweet layers along with bright tart flavour of the apricots. The fresh apricots keep the dough moist and they seem to melt as the dough bakes. The combination…
Read MoreBlueberry Muffins
On Sunday’s we enjoy light and fluffy muffins, bursting with juicy fresh blueberries. These blueberry muffins are quick and easy with a moist and tender crumb, bursting with blueberries and perfectly golden top. This recipe is as easy and straightforward as this: Cream butter, sugar and eggs. Add dry ingredients alternating with the milk. Stir…
Read MoreSummer Quiche
I really feel that quiche is a most underrated dish. Who’s with me? This summer quiche starts with layers and layers of golden crispy phyllo (that you don’t have to blind bake). The pastry is filled with a fluffy egg custard and you can really add anything you want to the mixture. I filled mine with…
Read MoreMango Passionfruit Yogurt Parfait
This layered tropical parfait happened because I had one very ripe mango that had to be used. It’s a quick breakfast, packed with delicious mango flavour layered with greek yogurt and topped with passion fruit and toasted coconut. Breakfast couldn’t be easier. All you have to do is remove the mango peel and cut the juicy…

Warm buttermilk biscuits filled with juicy, sweet strawberries and vanilla yogurt make the best strawberry shortcake that would be a lovely addition to your Mother’s Day menu. Homemade biscuits are really easy to prepare. I like to mix the dough by hand, instead of rolling out the dough and cutting with a biscuit cutter. I shape…
Read MoreCaramelized Onion Galette
It’s a savoury galette kind of day. Caramelized onion and kale galette with herbs is ready for the oven. A sprinkle of sesame seeds on the dough gives a lovely nutty texture as it bakes. The crust should not be perfect – cracks and uneven folds are what galettes are all about. If you’re not…
Read MoreJammy Strawberry Muffins
Waking up to the aroma of these easy muffins filled with jam is a good thing. The muffin batter is filled and topped with a dollop of jam adding a lovely sweetness to the soft scone-ish texture.
Read MoreOrange Crêpes with Roasted Rhubarb Sauce
Crêpes or pancakes… what would be your first choice? Today it’s orange scented crêpes. These homemade crêpes are thin and delicate with the most buttery crisp edges. I topped them with roasted spiced rhubarb, yogurt and toasted almonds. I especially love that the rhubarb is roasted in a date sauce, adding just the right amount…
