I wonder why I don't make granola more often! It is so easy to make and so much better than store bought ones. Moreover, you know exactly what goes into the jar and you can choose the best ingredients. And of course: no artificial flavourings, colourings...
Sometimes all you need is a slice of simple, delicate, warm yogurt cake!
Today I was craving a slice of cake and I just had to bake this! ;) It reminds of home, of being a kid and baking with my mum, of having an afternoon snack (merenda) with a slice...
With the new year, I have taken up a new routine of baking a loaf of milk bread every week. It all started on Christmas day, when I used The Little Loaf recipe to make a loaf to serve during lunch. I have made bread many times before, but I never found...
Well done, Giulia! So far, I have kept the promise of baking and sharing a new recipe every week. I've been busy all weekend, then spent two days in Germany for work, but luckily yesterday I had the opportunity to bake as I decided to work from home....
