I made up this recipe when I was given a sample of passion fruit cheesecake by a restaurant in London. They wanted me to replicate it and deliver it together with other cakes that I baked for them. Although they loved the cheesecake I baked, the whole set up did not work out long term….
Do you remember this from Wallace & Gromit “The Wrong Trousers”? If not then I really really recommend watching it! I love every detail of this stop motion movie. Joni and I particularly like the Feathers McGraw character, notorious criminal mastermind and bird of many faces. He is so mysterious and funny at the same time!…
I’ve wanted to make these since the first time I tasted them. Once while out with the girls we ordered them at this american style restaurant (don’t remember the name). Now when it’s getting wintery outside (almost), I thought these muffins would be perfect with soup. We dipped them in spicy Mexican soup and we…
I will admit, this is my first time making a photo album. So I guess you are thinking why on earth am I sharing my tips on this! The thing is, when I was at Uni (studied Fashion) I did my fair share of presentations in booklet form (I don’t even remember what they were…
In Lithuanian these lazy bites are called “Tinginys” which essentially means “The Lazy One’ (fancy some history about this? There we go!). Traditionally this easy to make treat is made with crumbled biscuits, coco powder, condensed milk and butter. But when I was little I experimented a lot (because there is no oven needed here)…

I will admit that making your own pasta is a lot of hassle! It takes long and it is soooo messy (with all that flour). But I still like making it as things made from scratch are the way of life for me. Like most of types of pasta such as gnocchi or skryliai (Lithuanian…
Since I made a mental decision to eat healthier I have started to look for the ways to make the food I crave healthier. One of them is using substitutes (worked best with the cakes) or changing the way the food is prepared. For this instance I thought baking is better that frying! No brainer…
Since now I am on my diet (second week already!!!) I have decided to treat myself to a healthier cake. I am quite new to calorie counting (ok, ok, not so new… its been a year), so to my understanding if I remove as much as fat as possible and make it gluten free then…
It’s been almost a year since my old laptop got stolen (never mind, I am fully recovered now). Although I was very lucky to get a new one as a (last) christmas gift, the old laptop cover did not quite fit my new laptop. I like the type of laptop covers that are not a…
