Keto Chicken Piccata

Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, seasoned and pan-seared to perfection until the skin is golden crispy, paired with a bright, tangy, buttery sauce. A quick and delicious meal that can be on the table in 30 minutes.
Piccata is a quick and delicious Italian-American dish with Italian roots. Traditionally, it uses veal cutlets lightly dredged in flour, pan-seared and served in a lemon butter sauce and the name reflects exactly its preparation method. I tried a less traditional recipe with chicken thighs and omitted the flour-coating. You are welcome to use chicken breast or cutlets, lightly coated with seasoned flour, if you prefer.

Making your own blackberry infused vodka is quick, easy, and a great way to savour the flavors of a pile of foraged wild blackberries for summer fun! This recipe comes together with just a few ingredients and the spices are completely optional. I used 100 grams of sugar for the infusion, if you prefer it sweeter, use up to 250 grams.

Soft, buttery, sweet yeasted orange bread laced with swirls of black cocoa bread and a deliciously indulgent sweetened condensed milk glaze. Enjoy it with a dollop of Greek yoghurt and seasonal fruit on the side. It just cannot get better than this! This loaf is best enjoyed the day it’s baked, but it will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

This is one of those classic appetizer recipes that works at any time of day. It's absolutely delicious and yet so simple to whip up. They're crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and pair perfectly with a homemade sweet chilli sauce, which will keep for about a month in the fridge. You can also freeze the sauce in small portions in ice cube tray. I have added a mini paprika (or 1/3 of regular red paprika) to the sauce for a fruity note.

The creative yeast buns swirled with butter and blueberry jam, and topped with a lilac icing, are soft, tender and in a league of their own. In summer, the blueberry rolls are best baked with fresh blueberries, in winter you can use frozen fruit. This means you can enjoy these blueberry rolls all year round. Whether for breakfast or in the afternoon with coffee and tea: such wonderfully fluffy, tender buns always put you in a good mood.

These nutty fruity truffles are a welcome change from the beloved chocolate truffles. The pink truffles are also ideal as a gift. They are made with almonds, desiccated coconut, coconut oil and raspberries, lightly sweetened with agave syrup. If you like, finish them with a coating of white chocolate for an extra layer of decadence.
