Today I bring you a showstopping dessert – the kind that dresses up the table and invites celebration just by saying its name. This raspberry millefeuille with vanilla diplomat cream, made with homemade puff pastry, is an absolute delight. I assure you, the moment you bring it to the table, everyone will be in awe. And after the first bite, you'll receive a heartfelt round of applause.

Today I bring you a recipe that smells of countryside and fresh, sunny spring. I invite you to travel to the colourful lavender fields of Spain or the French Provence without leaving home, with every bite of these cinnamon rolls with lavender glaze.

Whether you’re a fan of spicy food or not, today I’m going to tempt you with this delight: tender and warm cheddar and chilli buns that are absolutely irresistible. These cheesy buns with a spicy kick are the perfect excuse to gather everyone at home around the table. And if you prefer them without the spicy touch, you can simply leave out the chilli without any problem.

Today I invite you to take a fresh look at torrijas, pain perdu or French toasts—while they’re not exactly the same, you could say they’re like half-sisters. We won’t be frying them in oil or cooking them in a pan with a knob of butter, but with this Crispy French Toast Pudding recipe, we’ll turn brioche bread into a true spectacle.

Si vous adorez les roulés à la cannelle, avec leur délicieux glaçage et leur saveur intense, ce Pain roulé à la cannelle vous semblera être un rêve devenu réalité. Un roulé à la cannelle, enroulé dans un autre roulé, puis encore un autre et enfin un quatrième et dernier, formant un grand cinnamon roll – parfaitement cuit, généreusement recouvert d’une merveilleuse crème au fromage et au beurre, sublimé par l’arôme et la saveur de la cannelle. Que demander de plus ? Je crois qu'il n'est pas nécessaire de répondre !

If there’s one traditional sweet treat that never fails at parties and celebrations, it’s crispy fried flowers with sugar and cinnamon. With their delicate shape and light texture, these golden little wonders have been passed down through generations, becoming a staple of Spanish homemade baking.

El pan dulce de aceite o la "pompe à huile" es un pan tradicional de Provenza, en el sudeste de Francia. Su textura no es tan esponjosa como la del brioche, pero su sabor es único y muy aromático. Aunque en su región de origen se suele preparar durante la época navideña, os aseguro que vale la pena romper esa costumbre y tomarlo como desayuno o merienda en cualquier momento del año.

There's something magical about making homemade focaccia: that moment when the dough starts to transform, the aromas of garlic and parmesan fill the kitchen, and you know you're creating something special. This recipe has it all: a crispy, golden crust that smells heavenly, a soft, fluffy interior that soaks up the finest olive oil, and the unmistakable tang of parmesan that elevates every bite.

Can you smell it? That cinnamon bread aroma fills the whole house and all my senses, that's why I couldn't keep this recipe to myself! It's a delicious bread! This cinnamon and raisin bread is a very easy bread to prepare. It requires little kneading and I call it bread... although it would be just as fair to call it cake, since it's right there in the middle of both (it's a bread that requires leavening, but you won't have to knead it for a long time).

Perfect for a party snack or a family breakfast, this Chinois Brioche with lemon cream, whose recipe I bring you today, is on the list of home favorites. In addition to being very good and tender, it has the advantage of being one of those sweets that can be repeated ad nauseam, since, just by changing the cream of the filling, it will never be the same.

Semlor or semla (singular) is one of the most traditional sweets in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway and Estonia. It is a cardamom bun filled with almond cream and cream. In my case, I have opted for cream and mascarpone, since for my taste, in addition to having a better texture and body, it is much richer.

Swedish buns, known as 'Kanelbullar' (kanelbulle, singular), have become a culinary treasure of Swedish tradition. These intricately braided, imperfect and individual buns capture the warm essence of cardamom from South India. Cinnamon and cardamom are the most popular fillings, garnished with Swedish pearl sugar in the cinnamon ones and a hint of cardamom sugar in the spice ones. I encourage you to try them because they are delicious!
