This is not my usual dairy-free banana bread. This is my crowd-pleaser. It’s the one I make for certain family members who aren’t very enthusiastic about cakes made with olive oil, spelt and coconut sugar. They like their cakes buttery…
Last week I had to prepare lunch for my son’s robotics team. I could’ve bought pizza, Chinese food, turkey wraps, burgers, tacos, or made pasta like the other parents, but being me, I couldn’t. So I made hummus, potato and…
When the Newmans offer you to stay in their country home on the Lake of Glenville, you don’t think about it and hesitate. You postpone your flight back home, and you stay three more days North Carolina. Even if you’ve…
Does the world need another pancake recipe? Do you need another black t-shirt? This is actually not another pancake recipe, it’s the most cakey pancake I ever made. I make pancakes on a weekly yet I rarely make the same…
We are still in quarantine, cooking and baking nonstop. Hope you’re all doing well and getting the most out of this situation. Sending my love and strength to anyone who needs it xxs I already posted two or more banana…
NEVER THROW AWAY OVERLY RIPE BANANAS! Especially if they’re brownish and honey-like. When they reach that state their flavor is intense. They are also very sweet so you don’t need to add lots of sugar to the batter. I used…

I know that Thanksgiving is tomorrow so I hope you get this recipe before. It’s the best and easiest pie I ever made. I wish though that puff pastry had a nutrition value, but unfortunately it doesn’t. The fact that it’s…
Three words to describe this cake: moist, dense and rich. It finishes usually in thirty minutes. My husband found the recipe in Martha Stewart’s Living Magazine. The picture and recipe didn’t look exciting but I didn’t have eggs and I was curious. I made it a few minor changes.
Our 5-year-old Alex (aka Alexander, aka Jacob, aka Sooshi) is obsessed with names. Every day, ten times a day, he asks my husband or me if we like a certain name. Most days I find his name obsession cute, but…
Eema (me): “Alex, this is delicious, are you sure you don’t want to be a pastry chef when you grow up?”Alex: “What is a pastry chef?”Eema: “A pastry chef is someone who makes cakes and cookies for a living.”Alex: “What…
Two years ago, I accepted the fact that my body and dairy don’t get along, so I gave it up almost completely. I rarely miss it and if I do miss a nice buttery pastry I make this cake. Not…
I was so happy when she said yes and wrote this post for my blog. Introducing, Yael, the woman who thought me almost everything I know about baking! When Shelly asked me to be a guest at her blog, I…
