  • Message in a Pancake! (Without Refined Sugar)

    by Maria

    While Valentine’s Day is not a romantic day to me, I find it a happy day nonetheless. It provides me with a great excuse to try something new… and bring on silly or tacky preparations, like these pancakes! This recipe is without refined sugar and can be ready quicker than a cup of coffee.  You can draw hearts or write messages in the pan...

  • Christmas = Gingerbread Biscuits!

    by Maria

    To me Christmas smells of ginger, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. I love Christmas and I’m sure many of you do too. It’s almost impossible to resist the Christmas spirit; the decorations, the lights, the music and of course the food make this time of year a special one indeed. Every country has their own food traditions but the cut-out gingerbread biscuits are a popular...

  • Very Moist Chocolate Cake (Dairy-Egg-Nut and Gluten Free)

    by Maria

    Every time I read ‘free from’ gluten, egg, nut or dairy I feel lucky not to be allergic to any of those delicious ingredients. When my baby was just one month old, she started crying in pain after every feed. The kind advice I received on how to soothe her didn’t work so in the end I decided to change my diet, quitting dairy,...

  • The Healthy Bircher-Müesli

    by Maria

      Last winter we spent a few days in the Austrian Alps and every morning I woke up with only one thing in mind; their delicious Bircher-Müesli. I recently realised that it is just as popular here in England as it is in Switzerland, Germany or Austria. I’ve even seen ready-to-go pots in Starbucks. A Swiss physician developed Bircher Müesli in the 1900s; he...

  • The Best Vanilla Panna Cotta

    by Maria

    Very simple to make, all you need is five ingredients to enjoy a fresh and delicious Panna Cotta. Originally from Italy this dessert is made of full fat milk, vanilla, cream, sugar and gelatine. The only tricky part is to use the right amount of gelatine to get a creamy and wobbly Panna Cotta. Below you’ll find the only recipe you’ll ever need for...

  • Sunday Mimosa

    by Maria

    Springtime makes New York come alive with bright colours and people out in the parks. Hello sun! Restaurant terraces and NY classic brunches wouldn’t be complete without a delicious bubbly Mimosa. This super simple cocktail, made mostly with orange juice and chilled champagne (or another sparkling white wine), is the perfect way to begin Sunday in a party mood. Treat yourself this Easter morning...

  • Yummy British Scones!

    by Maria

    Scones are a quick bread, they can be savoury, sweet or plain. They are very popular in the United Kingdom, a classic treat from Devon (England) where they produce the best cream and butter of the country! For me the way to enjoy scones is to eat them hot, straight from the oven. Add regular butter and it is heaven! But the English love...

  • Pisco Sour, Chile v/s Perú

    by Maria

    Chileans and Peruvians have their differences, they argue about football and politics, but I would like to write about something we have in common. Something that we love equally and both call our national cocktail: the Pisco Sour. Peruvian restaurants are everywhere in London and I am thankful for that.  Now I can go out and enjoy a delicious Pisco Sour this side of the...

Message in a Pancake! (Without Refined Sugar)

by Maria

While Valentine’s Day is not a romantic day to me, I find it a happy day nonetheless. It provides me with a great excuse to try something new… and bring on silly or tacky preparations, like these pancakes! This recipe is without refined sugar and can be ready quicker than a cup of coffee.  You can draw hearts or write messages in the pan so don’t wait until Valentine’s to make them! They are wonderful as a birthday breakfast, a weekend brunch or even as edible good news for someone special! (Check the pictures for some fun ideas.) And for a full experience, enjoy these pancakes with the original Canadian maple syrup (rather than that ‘thing’ called syrup, like ‘aunt jemima’, which contains nothing but bad sugar). Happy Drawing! Ingredients 1 large egg 1 cup of self-raising flour* 1 cup of milk pinch of salt oil (not olive oil) *If you are using plain flour add 2tsp of baking powder Optional: maple syrup fresh fruits, nuts greek yoghurt chocolate Utensils 1 large bowl 1...
