I have made countless variations of this chocolate sponge cake, so last weekend I decided to change it a bit by using some toasted black sesame in the dough. I did not expect the result, meaning that it was super addictive and quite “light”, as the cake is truly not sugary at all and its […]

Despite the flavours not being very autumnal, I have received the pineapple and the papaya with odd box and I felt like trying something new. I hadn’t been having a tart in a while, and even though the tart is always out there, even if I am cooking and eating something else, sometimes there is […]

Butternut squash and root veg spicy pie (vegan/vegetarian)

I have been writing on this blog for less than a month I think, and I am afraid I have already said too many times that I love autumn and that I love butternut squash. So I’ll just skip this bit and move to my love for spices. (Also I know that this is the […]
