Chocolate melt and peanut butter American cookies

If you find yourself at Oxford Street in London, you’ll be surprised by the queues outside Ben’s Cookies for their wonderful American-style biscuits. Same goes for Levain Bakery which is famous for having the best cookies in New York. Yesterday, I found a similar recipe from Dower & Hollingworth for homemade cookies with melted chocolate…

Choco strawberry tartlets

I confess that I’ve been obsessed with strawberries! I’m sure you must’ve noticed since all my recipes these weeks have strawberries included! So, here’s a sweet recipe! Strawberry is hidden inside the chocolate cream of these perfect chocolate tarts. Very discreet, leaving a light flavour of strawberry within the rich chocolate cream. This sweet is…

Healthy City guide: Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro Cidade maravilhosa, cidade olimpica Rio 2016, Olympic city and excuse for this trip was windsurfer champion Gelly Skarlatou’s training for her fourth participation in the games. The timing couldn’t be more perfect, I was in desperate need of inspiration to design my new summer collection for vandazzz. I chose to join her before…

Mediterranean burgers with chickpeas and aubergines

From time to time I see all these vegan burger photos, but I confess that they don’t excite me in particular. Firstly, I think that when you go vegetarian, you have so many other nice choices (for example, falafels) and it makes no sense trying to reproduce all Western sub-derivatives in vegetarian versions. Furthermore, I…

Panzanella salad

It’s named Panzanella and it originates in Tuscany. It’s based on bread and tomatoes, which are related to our own dakos salad. The difference lays in the addition of rosemary and balsamic vinegar that is finger licking good when combined with tomatoes! I had this salad while on holiday in an Italian restaurant and decided…

Tahini almond cookies

These biscuits are simply amazing! They combine the awesome taste of tahini and almonds, crunchy on the outside and soft inside, reminding “ergolavous”. Tahini offers plenty of calcium while almonds are a very good source of protein, Vitamin E and B. They are full of good fats that will keep you satiated for a while;…
