Chocolate Cookie Spoons
These Cookie Spoons are so adorable you won't want to eat them, and they're great on their own, but it's definitely better to decorate them with chocolate and sprinkles to add that little extra.
The recipe is so simple, it is absolutely fuss-free!

Orange Pound Cake with Chocolate Glaze
The classic pound cake gets remixed with the citrus flavor of oranges, vitamin C has never been so delicious! A slice of this pound cake goes perfectly with a cup of tea or coffee in the morning, or as a sweet treat for tea-time.
Easy 2-ingredient Chocolate glaze
Baking cakes is easily one of the most satisfying things I'm able to do in the kitchen, I love to bake cakes! On the other hand though, icing and decorating them... I tend to mess things up more often than not. So when I come across easy and fool-proof icing or glaze recipes, I get really excited. This is one of those recipes: a chocolate glaze that is made with only TWO ingredients, it's super easy to make and it sets very nicely too. It's the perfect glaze to up your cake a level without much effort!

Torrijas (Spanish recipe for Easter)
Semana Santa (Easter week) is one of the main holidays in Spain, so it's no wonder that there are many traditional recipes prepared specially for it. One of the popular sweets is torrijas, a dish similar to the British bread pudding. This recipe is quite easy and requires no oven, just a stove top and the main ingredient: stale bread.
The Spanish call for "pan del día anterior", or bread from the previous day, any kind of loaf of bread can be used, I will use a normal baguette that has been sitting the entire day and has dried quite a lot. Stale bread is preferred because it absorbs the milk without breaking apart.

Strawberry Panna Cotta & Passion Fruit Jelly Cups
Valentine's Day is almost here and if you prefer having a nice romantic dinner at home, I suggest you to try this easy, light and delectable dessert: Strawberry panna cotta and passion fruit jelly cups. You can make this dessert ahead, it's quick, you can adapt it to your favorite flavors, although I think strawberry and passion fruit is a great combination and they just match so perfectly with the theme of Valentine's day!
The strawberry panna cotta is creamy, rich and fruity (think of a strawberry creamsicle!); while the passion fruit jelly adds a bit of fresh tanginess, just perfect to end a lovely evening with your significant other. Also, if your other half isn't fond of chocolate (I know mine isn't!), this type of dessert is a good alternative to keep things valentine's-y and sweet without the chocolate overdose.
This recipe yields about 500 ml, so it's perfect for two servings in 250 ml cups, although the one's I used were quite small yogurt cups of 100 ml each, so I got five small servings.

Cauliflower Béchamel sauce (dairy-free, gluten-free)
Incorporating healthy ingredients into international classic dishes like a pasta with Béchamel sauce (also known as white sauce) can be quite the struggle.
During the holidays I find myself cooking comfort foods too often, so when I decided to take on the challenge of incorporating veggies into pasta without my younger siblings noticing, I thought I make up with a genius idea: making a mock white-sauce out of cauliflower. Little I knew, that it is already a quite popular susbtitute for the classic Béchamel, and many chefs have already been using it.
So even though it is not a new invention, I'm still quite proud of my very own recipe, it is very simple, requires very few ingredients, and my fussy eaters didn't even notice the change.
It is also the perfect sauce for dairy-free and gluten-free diets, I used dairy-free margarine, but you can use olive oil if you prefer.
This cauliflower Béchamel sauce can be used in a variety of dishes: macaroni, lasagna, gratins... (just like the regular white sauce). So do try this recipe at home!
