How to do Crepes and Rhubarb and Strawberry Jam

Hello everyone!

Today's recipe is one of the first things I ever learned to do in a kitchen. I must have been around 11 years old, spending my summer at the Mediterranean coast with my parents, uncles and cousin. It was my cousin Núria, actually, who taught us how to do crepes. I remember being very excited about it, too. I was completely blown away when she just flipped the crepe in the air, with a skilled flick of her wrist. We would melt some chocolate and everyone would fill their own, topping them with some whipped cream or simply with some jam.



Doing crepes at home is easier than you may think. You can even do them without a specific pan, it is enough if it is a nonstick pan. The ingredients are so simple that you probably have them in your kitchen right now.




This crepes are filled with delicious greek yogurt and some homemade rhubarb and strawberry jam. It will be a very fresh and healthy dessert (or breakfast, or mid-afternoon snack!). Both recipes are under the following cut so, keep reading!

Raspberry and Coconut Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Hello everyone!

Today's recipe is now one of my favorites! I hadn't planned to do it at all like this, I just found some beautiful raspberries at the market and I couldn't resist buying them. I tweaked a little bit one of my favorite cupcake recipes and this came out!


Don't they look amazing? And I can promise you they tasted amazing as well! I brought them as a dessert for lunch with some friends and we simply had to eat two each. Afterwards, when I took the photos of the remaining ones, I had to give them away to my neighbors so I did not have the temptation to scarf them all!


They are dangerous, mind you... The cupcake itself is so fluffy, not heavy at all. The raspberries inside give them a great touch of acidity amongst the sweetness of the cake and the coconut. And the cream cheese frosting is so fresh and light... I could probably sing the greatness of this cupcake all day, really.


Here's the recipe. I should warn you, you will want to eat them as soon you take out of the oven- they smell deliciously. Just wait. The frosting needs for them to be completely cooled down, otherwise it will melt. I promise it will be worth it!
