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!

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!

Sorbet fiesta

This may sound crazy, but I am not an icecream person :-D! However, I just adore sorbets. That may be due to the fact that they are very light and why not, very healthy! So, since it's hot outside and the market is full of fresh fruits why not take advantage of this? I suggest you try this two absolutely fantastic, easy to prepare sorbets. All you have to do is go pick out a nice ripe pineapple and some sour cherries. For the pineapple sorbet I used some acacia honey and for the sour cherries sorbet some freshly grated ginger, just to bring out the flavours. Simply amazing!
