What products do you have at home anytime? My answer will be eggs, butter and milk. I also have flour and sugar in my cupboard. It turns out that I always have crumble in my kitchen! Flour, butter, sugar and berries are all we need for it! Crumble is a traditional British baked dessert, which consists of berries or fruits […]
There are not many Sundays when I don’t want to bake anything. On such days I mostly bake brownies. Last Sunday I decided to make something absolutely easy (but not brownies) and use a bit of sweet fresh strawberries which were just bought at the farmer market. I mixed some ingredients and I got my […]
What do you know about the perfect pie? What it should be for you? My main pie-rules are: the pastry is melting-in-your mouth, not over-dry filling, crispy crust. I usually make pies for breakfast preparing dough at the evening before. I make filling and bake my pie in the morning. It saves a lot of […]
Summer is over, and it means that the season of pumpkins, apples, pears and grapes has begun. I love autumn very much, and I’m ready to speak about this love for a very long time. Autumn breakfasts are the most cozy and loved for me. Because you’re sitting in warmth, sipping your hot coffee with […]

It’s a very pleasant feeling when you pick berries in the forest, and then bake a pie with them. They are the best pies in the world. I love berry pies, and this time I decide to cook pie with wild strawberries. And it was very tasty. But still remains, the best for me is […]

Tart Tatin is upside-down cake with caramelised apples. I don’t like apples in the pastry and this tatin with beets caught my attention. I never used them in baking, but now I fell in love with this tart. Sweet beets with caramel flavour on a gentle crust. I advice you to serve with sour cream or […]
I updated this recipe here (Little Berry Galettes). You can use the brie-strawberry idea with updated recipe of dough, which I like more for its crispy crust and ease of making! But you always can use both recipes and choose which you like more. Enjoy! Strawberry Galettes with Brie (6 galettes) PASTRY: 200g all-purpose flour 100g very cold […]
