Dried Plum and Walnut Cake – It’s A Happy Cake!
I love using ingredients that are left from previous recipes and not needing to buy anything else from the shop. Somehow it makes me feel more, sort of, “accomplished”.

Matcha Green Tea Swiss Roll – with Raspberry Buttercream Filling
I am an avid tea drinker but I am not really a fan of green tea. Yet one day, I was again lost in the world of recipes on the internet, getting excited with many things to try, and then I saw this ingredient: green tea powder, which you can use to make cakes, cookies, pastries… That was it – I had to try green tea powder!
Pecan Pie — And How to Make A Pie Crust
I was born in Sinop, in Northern Turkey, in Black Sea Region. That is the region where hazelnut cultivation is the highest amount in Turkey. And Turkey has the largest hazelnut production in the world. Maybe because of this, maybe just by chance, my favourite nut was always hazelnut… That was until I met pecan….!
Blueberry, Lemon and Chili Jam – My first jam!
I am not really a jam person. I think I was, at some point when I was a child. I liked eating my mother’s delicious strawberry jam. But that was it. I guess the way I like eating jam the most in the recent years is with sausage. Yes, you read it correct, I like dipping sausage into jam, so sue me!
Crescent Buns – Turkish Buns Filled with Cocoa Cake and Walnut
I’m pretty sure almost all of you have one thing (at least) you did not like at all to eat when you were a kid, but grew to like as you get older (and wiser? maybe..). In my case, there are many, as I was not a kid who was keen on eating basically anything (except for okra!). And actually, I did not particularly like this bun when I grew older either, because the one that you find in Turkey always has raisins in it, and I do not like raisins in a cake etc. (but I do like eating them just by themselves..).

Thumbrint Cookies – Covered with Toasted Almonds
There aren’t many types of food in the world that I am allergic to. Maybe eating a bit too spicy food, or a bit too much chocolate every now and then make me itchy. I do not have lactose intolerance either – that is something I did not even hear of before I came to Finland. And there is one thing that is incredibly tasty but makes me incredibly itchy: almonds!
“Kladdkaka” – Mud Cake, in Malin’s Kitchen
I started to really love this co-cooking/baking part of this blog.. I get to taste extremely delicious food! For instance, today I had a lunch of a muddy, sticky chocolate cake with a hint of coffee taste. I had a sugar rush yes, but who cares? And you know what was the best part of it? I was in a great company, of my friend Malin Bäckman.
Whole-wheat Peach Bread / Cake – Easy, Quick and Peachy!
I like fruits when they are still partially green, unripe. I want them to be really hard and not so juicy. My mother, who is in love with all the juicy and messy fruits, always told me that I was a bit “weird” in that sense.. Well, maybe I am.
Fig and Raisin Cake with White Chocolate Topping
You probably know, from my previous fig related recipes, that I am not the biggest fan of figs. And yet, they are so great to use as ingredients that this late summer/beginning of autumn I used them quite a lot in many recipes, from salads to cakes.
