Zambia's juicy orange pie

I wanted to try an orange pie for a long time. I have never tried it and it was a bit risky to make without having a reference. I was happy to find the recipe in Zambia's book from Kitchen Stories and I have to say it is one of the easiest desserts in syrup!

Susana's mouthwatering praline chocolate cake

This cake I ate for the first time at my girlfriend's house after a very nice dinner birthday party. The structure is similar to brownie but it has a strong praline taste and it melts in your mouth. It is quite sweet so best served with berries such as raspberries or strawberries. I baked this for my birthday.

Festive bonbons filled with prune and almond

Everybody likes chocolate and my favorite combination is chocolate with prune, a traditional Greek treat. You can't find these abroad so I made my own for the holidays. Thanks to silicon forms it is super easy to make chocolates at home :)

Many thanks for the forms to Silikomart !

Tiramisu with a twist

I never knew how easy was tiramisu to make. It is actually one of the easier desserts I ever made, and  boy, I could eat the whole pan. I think what causes this addiction is the combination of liqueur and coffee and chocolate. Yes chocolate indeed, this is a tiramisu with a twist!

There is a challenge though, and that is finding pasteurized eggs for this recipe.

Finikia traditional Christmas honey cookies from Lesvos

These ones re quite similar as the melomakarona recipe, but a bit lighter and with not so many spices. This recipe is my aunt's and it is originally from my home island Lesvos. This recipe will make about 30-35 pieces.
