Roasted Fig Tart with Mascarpone Cream, Honey and Rosemary

A Little Love Letter to Figs

Let me tell you a little story about figs.

I always thought they were those prune-like, wrinkly things with delusions of grandeur—the kind of fruit you find in ancient myths, romantic poetry, or your great aunt’s enigmatic jam. But then… I made this tart. And now I’m convinced figs are the best thing that can happen to you.

This tart came to life on a sunny Friday afternoon when I should have been doing laundry. Instead, I decided to live my best pastry life.  And so I present to you: The Delicious Fig Tart. Buttery pastry. Luscious cheese cream. And a generous crown of figs that almost convinces you it’s healthy food. It’s simple, it’s sophisticated, and just showy enough to make you feel like the star of your own film.

Biscuits Salami with Pistachio and Rum

The Christmas of 2020—right in the heart of the pandemic—brought unexpected joy in the form of a humble dessert: biscuit salami. I gave it a twist, adding crunchy pistachios, a splash of rum, and rich dark chocolate. Somewhere along the way, I had learned to embrace the good things in life, and this little treat became one of them.

Growing up, my mother would prepare the classic version—just cocoa, milk, and biscuits. Simple, comforting, and always a hit in our home. Biscuit salami, or salame di cioccolato, is a traditional Italian no-bake dessert made with crushed biscuits, cocoa, butter, and often nuts or liqueur. Easy to make, endlessly adaptable, and perfect for sharing—especially during times when comfort is needed most.

Spinach And Salmon Tart

How about salmon? Yes, that pink, silky superstar of the sea. It’s not just popular, it’s practically a health hero. As an oily fish, salmon packs a punch with high-quality protein, loads of omega-3 fatty acids, and a serious dose of vitamin D. Translation? You’re giving your body nutrients that may lower the risk of heart disease and even certain cancers. Pretty powerful for a fish, right?

And then there’s smoked salmon—delicate, rich, and just a bit luxurious. Usually cured and either hot- or cold-smoked, it’s the kind of treat that makes brunch feel fancy and dinner effortlessly gourmet. No wonder it’s considered a delicacy (yes, your taste is impeccable). Read more

5X Healthy Breakfast Recipes

Mens sana in corpore sano!

A healthy breakfast isn’t just a morning ritual—it’s the fuel that powers your day. And no, it doesn’t have to be fancy or time-consuming. Ideally, your breakfast should be nutritionally balanced to give you the energy and focus you need to tackle the hours ahead.

Now, don’t get me wrong—I absolutely adore slow, lazy mornings spent in pajamas with a hot cup of coffee and nowhere to be. But let’s be real: those moments are weekend luxuries. On weekdays, I’m usually more of a minimalist. A cup of coffee, a hard-boiled egg, maybe a piece of fruit—or if I’m feeling ambitious, a smoothie I can sip while answering emails. Read more
