It's been a while but it's good to speak with you again! Today I'm talking about what I saw and ate in Rome... and 3 chic 'any time' cakes including an orange ring cake made in a blender, a banana thyme cake and an egg-free vanilla cake with glossy ganache.

After a very eventful few months and a long hiatus, we are so back!! And I'm finally talking about semi-freddo and DIY Vienetta, including my base recipe and a Snickers semifreddo recipe. Actually perfect dinner party dessert. Plus, if you make the semifreddo you might have leftover egg yolks and if you don't want to make custard you might want to make delicious egg yolk chocolate chip cookies - featured here as a bonus recipe.

In the second of my revisits to old topics, we're thinking about brownies. The most decadent brownies, the most balanced brownies, the most different brownies. Perfection, diversified.

All the things I've gotten wrong... some things I've gotten right... and things I do differently now since episode 1. I also talk about things I've been eating recently in Iceland and London. Our featured recipes are a luxury all-butter spiced shortbread (spiced with nigella, caraway, coriander or cumin seeds) and a twice-baked pecan shortbread. <3

...and some actual donuts! In this episode we're looking back on the best bakes of 2023 and talking about 3 donut or donut-adjacent things: a giant donut bundt cake, apple donut bites and West African puff puffs. Then we look forward into 2024 and what's on my to-bake list then and over the festive period.

Wishing you very happy holidays and a happy new year!
