Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake

There is enough batter to make one 9-inch round cheesecake. Since I was serving it on Valentine’s Day, I used small individual heart-shaped molds to suit the occasion. This is a great dessert to be served on such a special… Continue reading →

Poppy Seed Honey Cake

If you are like me – love everything that has poppy seeds in it, then this is definitely a recipe to try. The cake is moist, sweet and full of poppies. It gets even better in a day or too…. Continue reading →

Panforte Nero (Panpepato)

This is a wonderful treat for us, grown-ups. The panforte makes a great gift since the flavor only improves with aging and allows you to have it ready well before the Christmas fuss. Panpepato pears beautifully with dessert wines, coffee,… Continue reading →

Cranberry Walnut Upside-Down Cake

Maybe it seems like the winter time dessert, but I bake it during any season. Use the fresh berries when they are available and the frozen ones when you can’t get them fresh. Like the most of upside-down cakes, this… Continue reading →

Sage and Honey Cornbread

Don’t be afraid to use sage in the sweet bread. The flavor is very interesting and subtle.
