Having breakfast with the purity of the air and the clearness of the sea. Finding rest in fresh fruits for then to surrender myself to the gentle waves of the sea.

Hello!

The past weeks where special ones.
We had a sad family gatherings, huge cooking jobs and in between I finished my book. On one occasion my sisters brother in law baked this cake and brought it to her house.
After tasting a slice we all couldn’t stop eating it. So I asked him for the recipe to share with you.
He had thought of the recipe himself and luckily new it by heart. So I jotted it down quickly and made it at home as soon as I could.
It’s lovely.
Please use salt and pepper to taste, but don’t forget that parmesan, olives and feta are salty too!

Have a great Sunday afternoon,
Yvette

Last week was my husbands (we recently got married, so I have to get used to the fact of saying husband instead of boyfriend), birthday. He loves pancakes and caky things. Especially with fruit!

So I made him these crossover caky-pancakes for breakfast. They turned out so great, that I’ve made them a few times after that to get the recipe right for you to make them too.
Eat them with fresh raspberries, as we did, but I can imagine them with strawberries and cream, melted butter and maple syrup, castor sugar, cinnamon and butter too…. miam miam!

Have a lovely sunday afternoon,
Yvette

Sunday is Mothers day, so nothing’s more festive than surprising mum with hot banana muffins for breakfast, especially these ones with a crunchy topping. Make your mum proud and bake her a big basket full of these yummy goodies.
If you are in a really good mood, eat them with spoonfulls of Nutella. That will keep her (and you) smiling for the rest of the day….’
