My recipe for halva melting moments is a classic with a twist. Crumbly, short biscuits that are sandwiched with buttercream rich with tahini and sesame halva. There's a generous pinch of salt in there too.
My take on this classic recipe is a cross between a Mont Blanc dessert and brown butter blondies. A brown butter blondie base with a meringue topping that is crisp on the outside, pillowy on the inside.
Spanakopita is the iconic traditional Greek spinach pie encased in layers upon layers of golden, buttery and flaky filo pastry.
My take on this classic Greek spinach pie recipe is a cross between spanakopita and galatopita - a savoury ruffled milk pie with spanakopita flavours.
Florentines are a thin, lacey biscuit containing nuts and candied or dried fruit bound together in a rich caramel that is baked until golden. The base is coated with a fine layer of chocolate that is traditionally scored in a wave pattern.
Sourdough hot cross buns are an all time classic, traditionally eaten at Easter time. I bake these sourdough hot cross buns every year, often more than once. This recipe has been tested and retested and works like a charm.
