Sweet & Savoury

Sundays are days usually spent as far away from the kitchen as possible.. or at least I try :). This being said, today I went along with a very easy yet satisfying dish, the renowned Hasselback potatoes, spiced my way with lots of coriander seeds. To serve, I recommend some very creamy cheese, a pinch of chili powder and that's about all you need for a big hearty lunch.



For dessert, since lately I am in a healthy eating state of mind, I made some carrot and coconut cake. It's packed full of all my favorite spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger. The carrots keep it moist and it's not only that, but it's getting tastier with each day. That is, if you can contain yourself from eating it out from the oven!

Sacher Torte

What's better than a slice of this chocolate Austrian staple dessert to help you face the cold outside? There are many recipes of which to be inspired but I chose a simple one..just because, sometimes, simplicity tastes divine. All you need is just some good quality dark chocolate, favourite jam (in my case, grandma's apricot jam- which also helps temper the sweetness of this cake) and you are good to go.

Upside down warm apple cake

Since the cold season is nowhere near the end, I still feel like using cinnamon, ginger or nutmeg when baking. So, why not marry this flavours with their beloved apples?! Yup, I did it and there you have it..a warm apple toffee cake. Did I mention the toffee?! Crazy, crazy delicious! Best topped with some vanilla icecream when still hot from the oven!
