Mon doigt s’est coincé dans le pot- Ebelskivers à la nutella
Well, I would have never thought to make something with Nutella…Usually, I don’t cook with Nutella, I just eat it from the jar, and when the jar is half empty, I use my fingers. No worries, I do not stick my finger in any jar that I [...]

Charlotte sometimes – Charlotte au chocolat blanc et framboises
I bought a nice charlotte mold from France last summer, I wanted one so bad, then I got it, and since then, I barely used it. It’s the second time in one year that I made charlotte. What a shame…I am just not a sweet tooth, but there [...]

La Fregola è gelosa del risotto – Fregola allo zafferano con zucchine e funghi
