Guilt-free breakfast blueberry bars

If I made a roundup of my favorite on-the-go breakfasts, these babies would top the list. They’re a snap to make and tick all the boxes when it comes to my idea of the perfect morning food: high in taste, rich in fiber (y’all know how important that is to me), gluten free, packed with […]

I’ll-have-two crispy buckwheat waffles

These waffles have a nutty intense taste and crispy texture that always makes me want to chow down more than one. They are great for breakfast, lunch, brunch or dinner and can be topped with sweet or savory fillings. We are big fans of salty toppings like melted hard cheese, fresh guac and sundried tomatoes […]

Absolutely sinful banana moelleux

There are a ton of gluten free, processed sugar free and vegan banana bread and cake recipes out there. But this one stands out. You don’t eat it because it’s healthy, you eat it because it looks like chocolate cake and tastes like a little piece of heaven. In French, we use an expression: “c’est […]

No-fuss basil cheddar scones

I never feel very confident making yeast-leavened bread, so when I feel like baking something that resembles it, I make a batch of scones. They are so effortless, any novice cook can pull them off. Although mostly seen with sweet fruity toppings, savory versions are a beautiful thing. Here I use basil and cheddar but […]

Oats with a very merry berry compote

If you follow me on Instagram you already know about my slight obssession with overnight oats. What’s there not to like: they are creamy, high in fiber, low in fat if you’re into that and topped with a berry compote they are just so easy to eat up on busy mornings. When I’m feeling hungrier […]

Besan chilla or Amazing Indian chickpea pancakes

As some of you know, I’ve recently gone back to work and I love it. It’s a buzzing little office, we’re about 15 happy campers, from all over the world, everyone is so nice and funny….and they are all foodies. Which means there is mucho recipe inspiration going around. Just the other day, my boss […]

Dangerous peanut butter & dark chocolate oaties

Being an ex-peanut butter addict, I need to be careful when I make these cookies as I can’t be fully trusted. They bring me back to my childhood, when my best friend and I would sneak to the grocery store to get a bunch of Reese’s peanut butter cups and eat them in her garage, […]

Quickie weekend breakfast biscuits

I like to leave bread baking to bakers. But once in a while on weekends, when I feel the itch to make something doughy and warm to serve for breakfast – that won’t require much effort – I make these. They are North America’s answer to scones and are traditionally called “baking powder biscuits”. Why […]

Keeping-it-simple apple strawberry purée

Yep, it’s baby food, but when my 13-year old turning-into-a-foodie son earnestly told me this fruity purée was the best thing I’d made in ages (hmmm…), I felt compelled to share. And to be honest, I’ve made 3 batches since because we all love the stuff – apple and strawberry seriously rock. I also guess it […]

Smells-like-a-piece-of-heaven strawberry crumble

The wonderfully complex aroma that emanates from my oven when I make this summery crumble, is just out of this world. It’s quick, easy and a total feast for the tastebuds. I usually serve it for dessert, still bubbling hot, with a dollop of vanilla ice cream; but because it’s crowned with naturally-sweetened granola, I […]
