Mallorquin crespells – Easter biscuits
Easter in Mallorca means walking by every single bakery and drool at the sight of crespells, robiols, panades… We believe the origin of crespells is jewish (chueta, a derogatory term used in mallorquín) and this might be the reason why traditionally they are shaped as a 6 point star or…
Beetroot ravioli with feta cheese filling
What would Christmas be without the special food that we take a long time to prepare and share with those we love, only to gobble it up within a few minutes? To me, it just wouldn’t be Christmas at all. I live to spend the day in the kitchen, chopping,…

This recipe is another one of those brought to you by Cocinando Sabores, with February’s challenge to make homemade donuts from scratch and low in calories. These no-sugar donuts are baked in the oven (the sweetness is added with honey instead) instead of deep-fried. They are still fluffy and delicious,…
Red coloured 20 minute gnocchi
My darlings, since the flu has decided to take me prisoner for a few days, a simple recipe is all I can bring you at this moment. I look forward to days filled with complex baking recipes, beautiful and rich ganache, creme brulée, and my brain working out how to…
Carrot, pear and ginger cake
Just the other day I went for what in Germany they call Kaffe und Kuchen, or coffee and cake. It’s pretty self descriptive, right? Just in case, I’ll elaborate. You take a friend or two, pick a nice place to sit at and have a chat on a Sunday afternoon…
