I have this recipe from a book I received a couple of years ago. What I like in this little book, is that all the recipes are about chocolate! And even if I haven’t tried them all yet, as I am trying to pace myself and not go crazy over the chocolate, there are some … [Read more…]
Even if I try to keep it “healthy” to a minimum level, according to the name of my blog, I should have more recipes involving chocolate. This one for example, is one of my favourite, even though I really don’t do it often, or at least not as often as I would like, but that’s … [Read more…]

I mentioned previously my trip to Cancun. I had this dessert in one of the many restaurants of the resort we were staying at: “Kampai restaurant”. As the resort was huge, we had to walk 15 minutes to get there, but it was so worth it, even under 35 degrees! Ingredients for 4 portions: 400 … [Read more…]
Carrot cake always sounded funny from the other side of the tunnel. So I couldn’t fit 100% into my new culture if I didn’t at least give it a try myself! It is like going to France and not having cheese and wine at least once! 😛 After some research and some tests, behold my … [Read more…]
