Baklava is a very popular Turkish, Greek, and Middle Eastern pastry made with layers of crispy phyllo pastry and a cinnamon nut mixture drenched in an indulgent syrup or honey. It can be made with pistachios, walnuts, hazelnuts or a combination of nuts, and can include cardamom, cinnamon, and rose water.
This Pistachio Baklava Cake is a twist on traditional baklava by turning the classic nutty filo pastry dessert into a layered cake with a rich whipped mascarpone cream. It has all the wonderful spices, rose water, and crunch of pistachios and walnuts. Deliciously moist and fragrant, topped with crisp filo pastry and soaked in a tangy sticky syrup. It will have everyone asking for a second slice!

This small batch of brioche recipe is ultra soft, rich, and buttery! Not only delicious to eat, but easy to make too! The miso paste (a Japanese condiment made by fermenting soya beans with salt and a fungus called koji; it is salty, nutty, and slightly sweet all at the same time) gives the bread a distinct, full-bodied umami flavour.
Proof the rich brioche dough in the refridgerator for 2-3 hours or up to overnight, so that it's easier to shape when the dough is fully cooled. Plus that long cool proofing also allows the dough to develop more flavour.

This is a classic jam recipe from the Lorraine in the North East of France. It’s made with Mirabelle plums, which are small, sweet plums with a yellow to rosy pink skin, and so good spread on hot buttered toast, bagels, crackers or croissants.
All the ingredients are first mixed in a non-reactive saucepan and allow them to mascerate overnight and let the flavours develop and the sugar draw out the flavour of the plums. You can do this for two hours if you’re tight in time. To ensure a firmer set, I personally prefer to use the freshly pressed lemon juice instead of commerical pectin. But you can for sure use preserving sugar or extra pectin.
The easiest way to test if your jam has reached the setting point is by having a sugar thermometer clipped to the side of your saucepan, with the end dipped in the boiling jam mixture. Once the boiling mixture has reached the correct temperature ( 105C/220F) then your jam should set. For an alternate method, just pop a saucer into the freezer to chill at the beginning of your cooking time. Put a teaspoon of jam onto the chilled saucer for 1 minute. Drag your finger lightly over the jam. If it wrinkles, it has reached setting point and ready for bottle. If it doesn't, keep cooking and test it every 5 minutes. This recipe makes four 400 g-jars of jam.

Another classic and traditional dish made with a blind-baked keto-macadamia crust and sage roasted butternut squash. Nestled in a creamy rich egg mixture and topped with briny feta and crunchy pine nuts, this butternut squash dish is a great every day low-carb meal. If you have some leftover roasted pumpkins on hand, this would be a perfect recipe to use them up. Use a regular crust instead if low carb diet ain't your thing or leave it out completely and bake the quiche in a casserole dish.

An exceptional bread, made with sourdough, with a fresh, smooth and tender crumb and cracking crispy crust. Using old bread to make new bread is certainly nothing new. The practice of adding an “old bread soaker” to dough has been used in Europe, especially Germany, for hundreds of years.
A soaker is when an ingredient soaks in water for a period of time. The process lasts anywhere between 2 and 20 hours before adding to the dough. It enhances the flavour of the ingredients, prevents dry ingredients from soaking up water in the dough, and allows large grains to be used for making bread. Typical ingredients that are soaked include grains (cracked, whole, flour and flakes), seeds and many more. Here I am using old bread that has been diced and toasted. It’s a great use for leftovers from previous bread and also gives a depth of flavour to the new breads with a moist crumb and helps the water absorption of the dough and thus, improve the shelf-life of the bread.
An autolyse(oh-toe-lease), aka autolyze, autolysis, or dough autolysis, is the gentle mixing of the flour and water in a bread recipe, followed by a 20 to 60 minute rest period before adding other ingredients. This hydrates the flour, which encourages enzymes to begin gluten development. Salt can be added at autolyse, along with your sourdough starter. Autolyse hydrates the flour, which encourages enzymes to begin gluten development, which makes the dough less sticky and more workable. Besides that, the bread using autholyse will look nicer, taste beter and keep longer.

This yeast brioche dough is the perfect base for fruity buns. Apricots or peaches are the ideal accompaniment: a creamy well-scented coconut pudding cream goes perfectly with the juicy and slightly tart stone fruit, while almonds provide the crunchy component. They are great for in between meals, but are also delicious for breakfast. You can made the pudding cream ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to 3 days and use regular milk instead coconut milk if desired, and flavour it with vanilla or rose water. They are best served fresh, slightly warm, or at room temperature.

This delightfuly and complex midsummer salad hits all the taste notes by using endive for the bitterness, tri-coloured lettuce for freshness, Roquefort, one of the most-prized French blue cheese for the saltiness, fersh apricots and honey for the sweetness and lemon for the tartness. Perfect to serve as a delicious meal or as a side dish. Roquefort, a world-famous blue cheese with pungent smell and a sharp tang, is traditionally made of sheep's milk. If you find this "King of Cheeses" is too strong for your taste, use other types of blue cheese or creamy tangy Lesbos Feta.

This easy Berry Crumble is loaded with juicy berries and topped with a sweet nutty buttery topping. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, custard sauce, or just simply with a dust of confectioner's sugar.
If the berries are still tart, you might want to add a bit more sugar or maple syrup. Both fresh or frozen berries work for the recipe. No need to thaw the berries if using frozen.
