A rich, decadent, chocolate Cake Crumb Swiss Roll filled with swirls of luscious Chantilly cashew cream and drenched in a thick layer of dark chocolate ganache. It’s made with leftover cake crumbs, that don’t even necessarily have to be chocolate cake - who’d have thought leftovers could be even better than the original dish?! I… Continue reading Cake Crumb Swiss Roll

Apple Crumble Pudding Pots
These little Apple Crumble Pudding Pots are layered with fruity apple sauce, sweet vanilla custard, dreamy whipped cream and a crispy crumb topping. Each layer is light so as a whole, this dessert is filling yet not too heavy, which makes it ideal after meals. The recipe is actually a combination of two famous desserts… Continue reading Apple Crumble Pudding Pots
Coconut Mango Rice Pudding Bowl (vegan | gluten-free)
On a recent trip to Thailand, I fell in love with the food, particularly the dessert. On almost every street corner stood a little shack with wheels selling hand-made coconut rice pudding with freshly sliced mangoes, crispy fried rice and maybe a cheeky dollop of coconut ice cream. I couldn’t get enough of this and… Continue reading Coconut Mango Rice Pudding Bowl (vegan | gluten-free)
Strawberries and Cream Nice Cream (vegan | gluten-free)
Strawberries are awesome. Cream is awesome. Put them together and what have we got? A bibbidi-bobbidi-boo. I really wanted to say that. Lame I know, but sometimes you just have to sing out that ‘ear worm’- apparently that’s what they call a song that’s stuck in your head in Germany (well so says my German… Continue reading Strawberries and Cream Nice Cream (vegan | gluten-free)
Baked Lemon Cheesecake Bars (vegan |gluten-free)
I honestly can’t take this sudden abundance of raw imitation cheesecakes with their soft nut bases and their faux-cream fillings pumped with expensive fruit powders (another useless non-entity of an ingredient) just to hype up their appearance. They don’t really taste like real cheesecake and you normally have to spend at least a day’s salary… Continue reading Baked Lemon Cheesecake Bars (vegan |gluten-free)

In Francis Ford Coppola’s, ‘The Godfather’, gangster, Peter Clemenza, exits his car on a desolate country road to take a piss, leaving his colleague and his enemy in the car. A gun shot is heard after which his fellow gang mate exits, the driver remaining behind with the contents of his skull exhibited on the… Continue reading Vegan cannoli
Chocolate hazelnut tartlet with preserved fruits, rose chantilly, pistachio praline and basil flowers
If I’m being honest, today I’m hungover as fuck and not a single sentence that’s going through my head right now is worth sticking in here. However, I can give you a vague update of my night of drunken shenanigans (which isn’t so entertaining either!), but it does actually involve the tart so I guess… Continue reading Chocolate hazelnut tartlet with preserved fruits, rose chantilly, pistachio praline and basil flowers
Chocolate polenta cake with oranges and cream caramel (gluten-free + vegan)
I really don’t think polenta gets enough credit. It’s like the Ringo Star of the grains, although maybe that’s a bad example. I can’t actually think of one that’s better than that one right now but if I do ill shoehorn it in. Polenta is basically a humble cornmeal mush that is put together to… Continue reading Chocolate polenta cake with oranges and cream caramel (gluten-free + vegan)
