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.

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.


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.

Here is a gorgeous fall cake with honey, apples and hazelnuts, so moist it’s dangerous. It’s perfect for Rosh Hashanah or Sukkot, and it’s parve.

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.

These banana chocolate chip muffins are a recipe to hold on to… They are light, indulgent, the chips are evenly distributed and never sink to the bottom. A quick, foolproof recipe. Plus, you get to use up those very (overly) ripe bananas you didn’t know what to do with because nobody wanted to eat them. Kosher and easily made dairy-free.

A few years ago I shared a delicious recipe for banana chocolate muffins. Here’s a recipe in the same spirit: it’s truly indulgent, with a light, pleasant texture. Part of the oil is replaced with applesauce (you can’t tell) and part of the white flour with whole spelt flour, which is better for fiber and keeps you full longer. So it’s perfect if you’re looking for a slightly healthier recipe. It’s kosher, and parve if you use plant-based yogurt. You’ll never throw out your ripe bananas again. In our house, it’s a keeper!

An easy recipe for crumbly little shortbread cookies to keep in your notebook. They’re delicious plain, but you can also fill them with jam or top them with icing.

Sweet potato doughnuts for a change from the traditional Hanukkah sufganiyot. They are soft, sweet and light, and sweet potato is a surprising ingredient that gives them charm and a delicious flavor! No need to fill them, a little powdered sugar and you’re done. Parve recipe.
