Cherry Macarons

Hello everyone!

Today's recipe is for the most daring ones! Specially in the heat wave we are suffering here... I can't promise it will be easy, or fast. I can say that the result is refreshing and delicious though!



A few days ago, my friend Judith brought me a tupperware with the prettiest cherries I have ever seen. They were big, almost black and super juicy. I forbid myself to eat them all at once and I thought of doing a curd with them.


If you do not feel like doing macarons in the summer (I totally understand, only a crazy person like me would do it in this heat), the cherry curd can be used in a lot of deserts. You can eat it in your yogurt, or as a topping for a nice vanilla ice-cream, or on your breakfast toast as well.

Yogurt Mini Bundt Cakes with Raspberry Coulis

Hello everyone!

Today's recipe is quite a good one. I feel specially happy about how airy and fluffy this bundt cakes came out. The spongy consistency of the cake is great, and its soft taste goes perfectly well with the tartness of the homemade raspberry coulis.


Do not let the long post title fool you, this recipe is actually very easy. It is not that different from a typical cake recipe, except this one has greek yogurt in it. 


And it looks so pretty! The cake's white interior and the strikingly red raspberry coulis are quite a combination.

Apricot Tart

Hello everyone!

It's pie season again! I have to confess that I have been thinking about pies for a while now. And although this recipe is not exactly a pie (in fact, it's a tart) the directions are fairly similar.



You may think it's a little bit complicated just by the looks of it. It's not. Really, once you have made the pie crust, it's a matter of ten minutes to assemble this beauty.



It's slightly juicy but not messy at all, in fact, as you can see in the photo below, you can slice it very neatly!
