1. Whisk the leaven with water, honey and grated potato in a large bowl. Combine the flours and salt. Mix the ingredients together to form a sticky mass. Cover with a cling film and leave for 10 minutes. Spread a teaspoon of olive oil on the work surface. Scrape the dough, working from the side of the bowl, on to the oiled surface. Knead briefly, 20 seconds, will be enough. Clean the bowl, and give it a light rub with olive oil. Return the dough to the greased mixing bowl. Cover and leave overnight in fridge.
   
2. Scrape the dough on to a lightly oiled work surface and pat it out to form a rectangle, roughly 40cm x 20cm. Fold one end, a third of the length, back to the center. Fold the other end back over it, so you have three layers. Pat it out again and fold it once more. This stretches the dough and aerates it. Leave one hour at room temperature and repeat. Leave another hour and repeat. The dough should be rising nicely. The most important thing to remember is that it's ready to shape when bubbles form in the dough. To check, slash the dough with a sharp razor. If this hasn't happened, leave the dough a further hour and check again.
   
3. Shape the dough into a ball. Cover and rest for 15 minutes. Dust a parchment paper or a towel and lay it on a tray. Use a flour-dusted, linen-lined basket if you have one. Shape the dough into a baton and place it seam-side up on the prepared paper or cloth. Cover and leave at room temperature until almost doubled, about 3-4 hours.
4. Preheat the oven to 220C425F. Turn the loaves on a floured baking sheet, so that any seams are now underneath. Make a cut a along the loaf’s length. Bake for 25 minutes. Reduce the heat to 180C350F and bake for 45-55 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.

1. Sift the flour into a mixing bowl. Add in ground toasted okara, ground almond, caster sugar and vanilla sugar. Cut in the marzipan and butter. Add in egg yolk and blend all of them into a dough. Wrap with a cling film and chill for 1 hour.
   
2. Preheat the oven to 175C/350F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Roll the dough out to 3mm thick. Arrange the text of congratulations on the cutter and cut out the cookies on the prepared baking tray. Bake in the middle of preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Cool them on a wire rack.

1. Place cream cheese, milk, 100 grams sugar and freshly squeezed lime juice in a heat-proof pot. Set the pot over a hot water bath and whisk until they become smooth. Soften the gelatine sheets in a bowl of cold water. Gently squeeze the softened gelatine to remove excess water and add it in the warm cheese mixture. Stir until the gelatine completely melted.
2. Beat the whipping cream first at slow speed until the mixture becomes soft and thicker. The cream drops from the whisk when it is lifted. Add in extract and powdered sugar and beat until the cream holds soft peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the cheese batter until combined.
3. Stack together two layers of chiffon cake and slice the cake into 5 rings. Set an 9-10 inch mousse ring on a piece of cardboard or a large serving plate. Starting with 3 cake rings, alternating with cheese filling until have you 4 layers. Smooth the surface and chill until set, about 3 hours.
4. Draw a picture of the checkerboard on a piece of white paper. Cut the checkerboard on alternate squares. Unmold the cake from the mousse ring and surround the side with finger cookies. Place the checkerboard paper on the top and dust with the cocoa powder. Remove the paper and serve the cake.

1. Sift the flour into a bowl. Add sugar, vanilla sugar, egg yolk and the butter. With your hand, gather all the ingredients into a ball. Transfer the dough on a lightly floured work surface and knead it feels pliable and smooth. Wrap in cling film and chill for 1 hour.
   
   
2. Well grease ten 2-inch tartlet tins. Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and roll out to a circle about 3mm thick. Line the prepared tartlet tins with flan pastry. Brush each with pineapple jam. Preheat the oven to 175C/350F.
   
   
3. Beat egg whites with salt and lemon juice until soft peaks. Add in almond extract, powdered sugar in a few additions and beat until stiff. Fold in the ground almonds until combined. Fill each pastry shell with almond batter. Divide the almond batter into the 9 prepared pastry shells. Sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts or almonds on the top and bake for about 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes or so in the tins, then turn out on a rack. You can make them without using pastry shells and fill 9 muffin liners instead.

1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Lightly grease 16 muffin cups, or line with muffin papers.
2. In a large bowl, mix together two kinds of flour, baking soda and baking powder. In another bowl, whisk together sugar, egg, oil and salt. Add mashed banana, milk and lemon juice to the brown sugar mixture and stir to combine.
3. Sift the flour mixture into the wet one and stir only until the ingredients are just moistened and combined. Gently stir in chopped nuts. Do not over mix the batter or tough muffins will result. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups and bake for about 30 minutes.

1. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Rub the soja margarine into the flour with fingers until the mixture is crumb-like. Sprinkle water over the mixture. with a fork, toss gently to moisten it. Press the dough into a ball. Wrap the ball of dough with cling film and chill it for 1 hour.
   
   
2. Preheat the oven to 425F/220C. Roll out the pastry dough and line an 8 or 9 -inch tin (round or heart-shaped). Prick the bottom and sides of the pastry case all over with a fork. Bake until lightly browned, 15 minutes. Let cool in the form on a rack. Reduce oven temperature to 180C/350F.
   
   
3. Combine 140 grams sugar, cornstarch, salt and lemon zest in a saucepan. Stir in the lemon juice and water until smoothly mixed. Bring to the boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Simmer until thickened. Blend in egg yolks and cook over low heat for a further 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. Add butter and mix well.
4. Spread the filling in the pastry case and level the surface. Meanwhile beat the egg whites, salt and lemon juice until soft peaks form. Beat in the vanilla extract and sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until still peaks form. Spread the meringue evenly over the lemon filling. With the back of a soup spoon, make decorative peaks in the meringue. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the meringue is just set and lightly golden brown on the surface. Leave to cool on a wire rack.

1. Gently press quark through a sieve and beat in egg until incorporated. Sprinkle in the sugar and salt, and then gradually add the flour. Mix until a dough begins to form. Finally add the softened butter and blend all together. The dough is rather wet, but still holds together. Wrap the dough in plastic and chill for a few hours or overnight.
   
   
2. Using a knife, make a slit down the seam of the apricot and carefully pull out the pit, keeping the fruit in tact. Stick some jam or a sugar cube inside the apricot where the pit was and close it up. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. On a lightly oiled work surface or directly on a sheet of cling film roll the dough into a log. Divide the log into 12-14 pieces and wrap firmly around each whole apricot. Make sure dumplings are well sealed.
   
   
3. Toast the breadcrumbs, sugar and cinnamon in butter in a frying pan until golden. Set aside to cool. Drop the dumplings in boiling water and stir carefully from time to time so that the dumplings move and don't stick to the bottom of the pan. The dumplings will float on the surface of the water after about 5 minutes. Let cook for another 5 minutes. Carefully remove the dumplings from the water with a strainer. Coat evenly the drained apricot dumplings with the browned crumbs.
