Magic Pavlova

For me, this is one of the best summer desserts ever.

Crunchy meringue base, topped up with vanilla cream 
and piles of fresh fruit.

Cinnamon Swirls


Sometimes I could just die for a Cinnamon swirl for breakfast 



Bruschetta

So what can you do with the yesterday's bread? If you have any at all that is :)   

You slice it nice and thick, drizzle some olive oil, spread a bit of home made tomato sauce, add some roasted vegetables of your choice, top up like a pizza with grated mozzarella, salt, pepper, herbs and voila ...

I present the BRUSCHETTA - simple, tasty, irresistible 


You grab the bread, make the sauce, grate the cheese

Breakfast Teasers


Coffee and Croissants. 
There is nothing better than that for breakfast.




I developed my own croissants recipe. 
I took me 6 months work to perfect it. 
I guess I am a bit picky when it is about work.

Secrets


I called them Secrets. Simply because it's a secret recipe

In love with seeds

Seeds give a fabulous finish to a hand made bread. 


There is even no need to add seeds in the mix to feel their taste. Just rolling the loafs in a selections of your favorite seed mix is enough to boost the flavour to the ceiling. 

I am simply in love with seeds
