I’m loving Spring. Everywhere I go, every tree, color, the smell of fresh fruit. Everything is so inspiring to me. I guess my eyes are so tired of seeing “gray” all Winter long that when I start to see all the trees blossom, is like everything starts again. This is also the season when I start to prepare for Summer and by prepare I mean plant my tomatoes and herbs. This year we are planting a pear tree and grapes, lets see how that goes. And to continue with my Spring celebra

I’ve been eating Pavlova for a while now and I had no idea that this delicious dessert was named after the Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova. Actually,  now that I mention it, this dessert kind of looks like a little tutu, doesn’t it? I guess we learn something new everyday. If you are not familiar with this dessert, it’s a crispy meringue with a marshmallow-like consistency in the inside. It’s usually topped with whipped cream and berries or other fresh fruits.

I’m a bit late delivering this recipe to you but it’s worth the wait. There is this eggnog from Honduras that is really popular during Christmas time and of course, impossible to get it here unless someone brings it from there.

Red velvet cake. I don’t make this cake very often, you see, this is one of those things that are so good, you only make them on special occasions. Last Friday was my birthday and even though I didn’t know what kind of cake I wanted, I was happy I went for red velvet cake. I don’t want to sit down and tell you how good it was but I can tell you it’s one of my treasure recipes. It’s good and a piece of cake to make it 🙂 I had a nice birthday weekend, my mom made a lovely dinn

Well, it was about time I posted a cupcake recipe on this blog. What a better flavor combination than peanut butter and chocolate? The frosting is nice and smooth and the chocolate cupcake light and moist. The only negative part of these cupcakes is that you can’t eat only one. I thought about making this cupcake recipe for my birthday which is in a couple of  weeks but I am very indecisive, and now I want something with lemon curd. I have a feeling chocolate is going to be s

This past Sunday I want it to finally celebrate spring with strawberry tartlets. It’s been a cold and rainy Spring in New York but this weekend was so nice and sunny, I was so inspired to bake and set up for the photo-shoot outside, in my terrace and just spent the whole day there. It’s was a nice weekend overall. On Saturday, my cousin Raquel took me to this amazing fabric store where I found the cutest fabrics for props. I went crazy trying to choose from hundreds or even t
