When I think of summer one of the first flavours that comes to mind is lemon! It is so refreshing and bright, and pairs well with a lot of other flavours. Lemon drizzle cake is one of my favourite desserts…
Living in the UK for the past 3 years has been an eye-opening experience. When it comes to the weather it’s everchanging and you never know what to expect. Being from Croatia, I’m used to the “classic” hot summers and…
Usually when I get food cravings, it’s one of three things – cookies, pancakes, or chocolate cake. Chocolate cake is one of those desserts that is so indulgent, and it is very hard to find a store bought one that…
When I was a kid I used to watch loads of cooking tv shows. One of my favourite people to watch was Lorraine Pascale – she would make the most beautiful food, and desserts that were always so simple but…
When I was younger I wasn’t as big of a foodie as I am now, and every time my parents or someone else wanted me to try something new, I would always refuse. I only had my first baklava when…

Tiramisu is one of my family’s favourite desserts. In my tiramisu recipe I even mention the love of chocolate my mom has that she ends up tripling the amount of chocolate in almost every recipe. However, tiramisu reminds me of…
Bajadera is a staple in Croatian culture. Created by Kraš, a major food company in Croatia, bajadera is a chocolate praline made of nougats from both almonds and hazelnuts. My mom’s bajadera however is a bit different, but just as…
I love cinnamon rolls. Adore them. They are my all time favourite breakfast food and I love making them just as much I love eating them. However, they are full of warm flavour that we associate with autumn and winter,…
As I’m writing this, the weather outside is wonderful. It is so sunny and warm and it already feels like summer. I don’t really want to skip spring though, as it is my favourite season. Spring means beautiful green scenery…
I absolutely love tiramisu! And when I started making my own, I stopped ordering it in restaurants and pastry shops because I just know it won’t be as good as this one. It’s a recipe from Donal Skehan which to…
