A few years ago, I saw this dress at a friend’s who has a house near my country house. The dress was her aunt’s, from the ’60-’70 Right at that moment it hit me – Eton Mess! So I managed to persuade her to lend it to me, I’ll return it soon, and took it and neatly folded it into the drawer. I remembered the dress from time to time, but always when strawberries were out of season

And then we started to prepare the material for July/August 2012. issue of Mezze magazine. Ana and I loaded ourselves with props and stuff and off on the bus we went to my country house for one of our, at that time regular, photo sessions read more

This is one of the cakes I make the most often, but still, haven’t published the recipe on my blog yet. Flourless, but a serious cake that can satisfy even the biggest chocolate lover. It is flavored with a liqueur, and I use my homemade orange liqueur, but you can use any other you like, rum for example. The cake will rise nicely in the oven but the moment you take it out it will sink. That is fine, and that is how it should be Around the edge of the pan you’ll have a nice higher crust, and the center will be soft. It is also nice to bake two smaller cakes and share it with a loved one while still warm. With a spoon, straight from the pan. And save the other one for later
