A generous Peach Almond Polenta Squares slice on a blue plate snuggles next to two peach slices and a rosemary garnish.

This little dessert or afternoon tea pastry is just perfect on a beautiful summer day when peaches are in season, and are sweet, ripe and juicy! They are a cross between my Peach Flat Cake and my Orange Polenta Petits Fours. The mixture of ground almonds and stone-ground polenta gives these Peach Almond Polenta Squares a unique texture and flavor that blends so nicely with ... Read More »

These luscious pots de crème are a no-bake variation of my famous original vegan Crème au Chocolat. They add the sweet nutty taste of hazelnuts! If you love nutella, as most French people do--in fact they are obsessed (!)--you will absolutely LOVE these, c'est un régal ! Of course they are much healthier (not all that added sugar) and sustainable (no palm oil of course) and ... Read More »

Biscotti with hazelnuts and almonds Dipped halfway in Dark Chocolate in a glass cookie jar

I LOVE biscotti! If you have ever had the pleasure of dipping an after-dinner biscotti in a little cappuccino in a romantic little Trattoria in Italy,  you'll feel the same way about these! These little Italian cookies are unique and absolutely delightful. They are a bit of a "production" to make, I have to admit, certainly not typical of my other recipes. The word Biscotti, ...

Almond Orange Chocolate Torte

This dark chocolate torte tastes lusciously rich and moist yet it has all of 2 Tbsp of canola oil! The secret lies in the addition of the ground almonds with their healthy unsaturated oils as well as the applesauce and fat free plain yogurt. This is one dessert you will be able to “indulge” in without any guilt! It is a little more time consuming than my other desserts but it ... Read More »

Fresh Fruit Trifle with white wine cake, yoghurt and yummy fresh fruit

This beautiful fresh fruit Trifle is one of my favorite dessert for the Holidays! The wine cake layers blend perfectly with the vanilla yogurt, the rhum and the fresh fruit so that it tastes decadently delicious (the rhum-embued cake reminds me of a French "baba au rhum" and the vanilla yogurt becomes so thick you'd think it's heavy cream!).  It is absolutely spectacular as a ...

Six round Mocha Brownie Bites, 5 shape a circle and one rests on top

These are melt-in-your mouth decadent tasting little brownies--gluten-free to boot! The rich coffee flavor is outrageous and the little coffee bean on top of each not only makes for a beautiful presentation but also adds a wonderful little crunchiness! Needless to say there is nothing decadent about these little brownies, nutrition-wise! I use bittersweet chocolate (60%), ... Read More »

This exotic salad is always a hit! GORGEOUS vegan dish on a buffet table! It is delicious, bursting with color and very festive.
