Laduree? Bah! Indulge yourself in a taste of French cafe culture with this famous Parisian tea room delicacy. And as Princess Lottie shows us, it can be done simply and to perfection. Devour at your leisure, or share if you’re feeling generous. I wouldn’t!
I’ve sampled so many carrot cakes and my favorite was from Ottolenghi until I tasted the carrot cupcakes with coconut frosting at Lantana cafe in Soho. I realised it was time to bite the bullet and start grating those carrots. Read more…
Looks like Princess Lottie and I are Sunday baking in synch this weekend. She, these stunning Ottolenghi orange and almond florentines, and I, well…. you’ll see as soon as they leave the oven! Read more…
Here she goes again, baking Sunday tarts that bring a tear to the eye… Yotam Ottolenghi, you’d be proud!
These tarts are my current favourite dessert to bake. Sweet pastry cases filled with white chocolate ganache and topped with a raspberry coulis swirl. There’s an added treat when you take a bite… nestled deep inside the chocolate is a dollop of raspberry jam.
The other tart is filled with a glorious mixture of mascarpone cheese, creme fraiche, icing sugar, vanilla extract and topped with fresh fruit.
from ottolenghi, this strawberry cheesecake is wonderful.
