    Lovely with espresso or tea, great for dipping or crunching.

  • Another Mexican inspiration, made with a genereous amount of Kahlua, cacao, walnuts, as well as purreed prunes/dates. A cakey brownie that's beautiful in texture and exquisitely flavored: rich, dark, moist, chocolaty, and not too sweet. Voted "best brownies of all time" by my partner!

  • gorgeous delicious stimulating!

  • Striking and delicious: rich dark dense chocolate torte with a subtle blend of Latin flavours, crowned with airy fragrant Honey Vanilla Marshmallow Frosting. Perfect for a fiesta :-)

  • Oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chunk cookies: similar to classic monster cookies, these MONSTER COOKIES have been remixed into sophisticated dairy-free (healthy) treats.

  • Exquisite silky dark chocolate spread perfect for slathering on toast, crackers, rice cakes, or for enjoying with strawberries or other fruit. This sweet decadent vegan treat is good for you too: rich in healthy omega-3 flax oil, full of antioxidant-rich cocoa, and sweetened with raw agave syrup. My own dark nut-free version of nutella :-)

  • Made and devoured these fantastic cookies by Wen Zientek-Sico: "These traditional cookies, which also go by bridal cakes or Russian Tea Cakes, are a favorite of mine." Mine too!

  • This is my favorite fall and winter dish. It's like an awesome pumpkin pie, sans traditional crust. Like a clafouti, this pudding makes it's own "crust" and is sliceable when cooled down. Beautifully spiced and rich, it has a layer of crunchy caramelized nuts on top. This is an easy and flexible recipe where you can play with the ingredients and their proportions - here are some tips. The aroma of this dish baking in the oven is absolutely heavenly...

  • Savory and delicious.

  • A very spicy crunchy twice-baked cookie: the spice must flow.

  • A delicious not-too-sweet twice baked cookie.

  • Simple, nutritious, satisfying, and almost shockingly delicious - really!

  • Lovely round cocktail crackers: oats and olive oil make these rich and flaky. (A favorite of mine.)

  • A soft chewy yummy easy-to-make classic treat.
