Every single time I make a batch of these irresistible heroine-biscuits, I swear it’ll be the last time. And I’d probably keep that promise if someone didn’t always beg me to make them. Or if a sudden burst of inspiration…
There’s a popular ice cream shop in our neighborhood that makes exquisite dairy ice cream but their vegan ice cream is eh. It’s not the flavors, they’re okay, it’s the texture. Sorbet is more rich than that pea protein-made ice…
Stop and pick the loquats (shesek, nispero, biwa). Those mother-clusters of oval, orange fruits you see everywhere during may and June are edible indeed. If you pick them, make sure to select only the very orange with brown spots, those…
Vegan boy complains that there’s nothing sweet in the house. He threatens to go to CVS to buy candy. Neurotic mom says “Wait! Don’t go, I’ll make something”. Quickly she melts a bar of Trader’s Joe’s 72% dark chocolate and…
Before the pandemic, I used to make this brittle weekly for my boys’ lunch bags. It’s a treat that checks all the boxes: gluten-free, grain-free, vegan, and free from refined sugar, yet deliciously crunchy. I had the pleasure of filming…
I intended to make a fruit crisp but I accidentally over processed the nut mixture into a sandy mixture. So I mixed it with 1 egg to fix it and the crust came out chewy, like nougat. It was tasty…
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…

I experimented with my grandmother’s Moroccan Anise Biscuits (Reifat) recipe and came up with a delicious gluten-free version that can also be made vegan. These biscuits are easy to make, only require one bowl to wash, and contain a small…

The best thing about them is that they are low in sugar and easy to make. The worst thing is that you can’t stop eating them. If you love your cookies very sweet then you should add 1-2 tablespoons powdered…
Imagine you’re doing a hike when suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, you see a sign: Tartes, Quiches, Zumo, Cafe I don’t know about you but I would be ecstatic. Now that we live in Mallorca, I hike often to Son…
I think my purpose in life is to make chocolate bars. I would love to make honest good dark chocolate bars for living. Just like those crafty bars Dick Taylor or Dandelion make. I’m salivating just thinking about pure, rich, bitter, mildly sweet chocolate. I prefer chocolate that is made with…
Really, Shelly? Avocado? Come on. Why not? Avocado is a fruit. In South America they eat avocado with sugar, so why can’t it work with chocolate? I knew it. I knew she wouldn’t approve this recipe. It doesn’t matter how…
The inspiration for these beautiful chocolate palettes (rounds) came from a very chi-chi restaurant cookbook called Eleven Madison Park: The Cookbook. I’ve never eaten at the restaurant, but I heard from the friend who gave me this book as a…

You must trust me when I tell you that these are the best chocolate chip cookies in the world! Extremely easy to make, about 5 minutes to prepare and 8–10 minutes to bake. The granola is optional but adds a nice crunchiness and wholesomeness.…
After almost three endless months of never-ending summer vacation, Leo finally started school, a new charter school. Frankly, Z and I were excited about it but he wasn’t. He wanted to be excited, but, instead, he was very nervous. I don’t blame…
