With Passover just around the corner, I’m sharing this traditional treat of Passover week again: fritèches (or sfériès) are little fritters that are incredibly light and melt in your mouth, then get their sweetness from a coating of honey syrup. An express recipe with just 2 ingredients!

Pure indulgence: this flourless chocolate olive oil cake is a wonderfully rich, fudgy chocolate cake you can make all year round.

Almond croquants are a Passover breakfast staple, and they’re perfect with your morning coffee. The recipe has been updated and no longer contains matzo meal, for a softer texture.

I love crème dessert (French pudding cups): rich, silky and ready in no time! After sharing a chocolate crème dessert and a pistachio one, here are delicious homemade chocolate praline pudding cups. They can be made dairy-free (parve) and are gluten-free. Perfect if you have a jar of praline to use up.

A lovely addition to your platter of sweets, gazelle horns are little pastries filled with almond paste; some people even add hazelnuts. They are easy to make, though a bit time-consuming. The upside is that they freeze very well.

A variation on the famous bouscoutou, that tall, fluffy sponge cake, so here is a first version that is every bit as delicious and indulgent. A must-have in your Passover recipe collection.

After a first Passover version of the famous bouscoutou, our Tunisian sponge cake, here’s another one that got eaten so fast I just had to share it with you. The texture is very light, with no matzo meal, airier than the first one, and it disappears before your eyes! It’s truly one of those easy cakes with just a few ingredients to add to your Passover recipes and gluten-free recipes.

Pretty little Italian amaretti scented with orange blossom water that are a hit with coffee, and a great recipe for using up your egg whites.

An easy dessert that feels like rice pudding, but made with coconut cream and tapioca pearls (called perles du Japon, “Japanese pearls”, in France). These little pearls are used in desserts, sauces and soups, mainly because they’re an excellent thickener.

A fun, sweet take on the classic chirashi rice bowl, to adapt with whatever fruit is in season.

Chocolate mendiants are a pretty little treat that is very easy to make, even with kids. They are perfect with coffee, at brunch, and for Tu BiShvat, when dried fruits and nuts take center stage.

Soft, tender honey bites, sweet without being cloying, hugely popular around Rosh Hashanah and perfect to offer with a coffee or a tea.

If you love rich, silky puddings (the taste reminds me of the melt-in-your-mouth Mamie Nova puddings from French supermarkets!), these pistachio ones are for you. They’re easy to make and gluten-free. They’ve become a classic in my house, every time I have some pistachio paste on hand.

Soft, moist, fragrant and dairy-free, this carrot cake has it all!

Cantuccini come from Tuscany: small, dry almond cookies, as crunchy as can be, and the best friend your fall and winter teas and coffees could ask for.

These ring-shaped honey cakes, fried and then dipped in honey syrup, are one of the best-known pastries on holiday tables, especially for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Today I’m sharing my family recipe for Tunisian yoyos.

Who can resist a sfenj, those delicious ring-shaped Moroccan doughnuts rolled in sugar? Sfenj call for very few ingredients: a sort of bread dough with extra water, so it’s light, for a result that’s crispy and airy. They’re perfect for Hanukkah when you want a change from sufganiyot.

Homemade praline paste is child’s play to make. It’s made from hazelnuts and/or almonds, toasted first, then blended with caramel: a few pulses give you pralin (a crunchy praline crumb for decorating cakes), and blending longer gives you praliné, a smooth praline paste for filling and flavoring pastries.

Craving ultra-moist double chocolate muffins? This quick and easy recipe is perfect for an indulgent afternoon snack. These cocoa and chocolate chip muffins will quickly become a staple.

Kosher and parve if you use plant-based yogurt.
