Almond and Orange Cake

When I made this cake on the second time, I have accidently left out the caster sugar from the mixture. I’ve thought, that’s it, ruined, but turned out to be lovely. Not so sweet, but sweet enough, thanks for the orange syrup. The original recipe -by Michel Roux Jr.-, contains 225g caster sugar.

Pear and Amaretto Cheesecake with Dark Chocolate

I finally got around to make this cake again for my friend’s request. I made a couple of changes to the original recipe, which is by Gordon Ramsay. It has few stages to follow until completion, but nothing difficult or extravagant. Forget baking! This cake only needs a fridge and a 23-26cm springform cake tin. The flavour of the filling with the dark chocolate base is divine.

Sables Biscuits

This simple French biscuit has it all; Taste, texture. Topped with some homemade jam or lemon curd and it can be a great company for the afternoon tea.
