Peanut cocoa cookies
A Brazilian friend has just spent a vacation with her darling at my house and made me this recipe which is itself a variation of one of my recipes. Marianna made a nice adaptation where the flour is replaced by roasted powdered peanuts, and where the sugar is very reduced. This gives absolutely delicious cakes, perfect for a little snack that puts you back on your feet! And besides, Danilo, his friend, also cooked a nice pasta recipe that I will probably post soon! Thank you Marianna and Danilo!

Vegan Flapjacks, chocolate nuts and peanut butter
Here is a naturally vegan and gluten-free recipe. I like to offer this kind of choice from time to time, especially when the result is so delicious. I put "flapjacks" because these bars are very similar, but the consistency is very reminiscent of a big, chewy cookie. My friends and I enjoyed it and I must admit that I didn't expect it to be this good! To be tested urgently...

Honey-nut squares
Fall is here with its share of comforting delights. I love nuts and I've probably come up with recipes mixing honey and nuts on my blog, but I always enjoy looking for new textures. Here, the dough resembles a shorbread, topped with a honey and semi-salted butter caramel, richly garnished with nuts. The texture is fantastic and these squares are very addictive! To be eaten in small portions...

Kanelsnurrer
For Christmas, I offer you one of the many recipes from my new book, Scandalously Decadent, published by Flammarion, the Kanelsnurrer. I redid everything step by step for the blog, and the picture you see here is not the one from the book. You have to try this recipe, just for the incredibly delicious smell of baking these kanelsnurrer, these "cinnamon swirls". Because in addition to the cinnamon in the filling, the paste also contains cardamom. This is the original, Scandinavian version of cinnamon buns. Despite the apparent complexity of the designs, the recipe is actually very simple and quick to make. Just make the dough early enough to let it rest. The little trick to make the twists is not complicated and the result is amazing: the kanelsnurrer are soft and fragrant!

Extra Crispy Sesame Chicken
I'm a bit of a fried, crispy meat freak. I have long wondered how to make doughnuts that stay crisp, despite the presence of sauce. I had presented an almost similar recipe with the same technique, namely the crispy beef with caramel and pepper (recipe HERE). For years I have tested many variations: rice flour, wheat starch, corn starch, potato starch, with egg white, without etc. But I had found the answer in Vietnam and it turns out that it is with and only with tapioca starch that it works. The result is crazy: the meat is extra-crispy, the doughnut very crunchy, even when cooling!

Caramel and Peanut Crunch Popcorn
I love popcorn and it's so easy to make at home too! A pan with a lid and that's it! I like it salty or sweet, but my pet peeve is the caramel popcorn, nice and crunchy. And with roasted peanuts, it's a little miracle! It took me a while to put this recipe together and I've been thinking about it for a while. To find the right proportion of corn and caramel, and then to get a popcorn that doesn't stick to your fingers at all and stays nice and crispy, I had to do a few tests. To do this, you will need to take the precise temperature of the syrup, then put it in the oven at low temperature for 30 minutes to dry the caramel. It's very easy to make and you can keep it for almost a month! Well on the other hand the diet will wait!

Pecan Spice Cookies
When I came across these mussels in the United States, I knew right away what I was going to do with them because they are so photogenic. And I also know you're going to ask me where to buy them, but I have no idea, because it was a clearance sale and there was no brand! But don't panic, you can make this recipe in classic molds, or even without a mold at all, by making round cookies! It has a little maple syrup and spices in it, which will give the cakes a Christmas spirit... I enjoyed it!

Cinnamon and walnut shortbread
With the cold weather arriving faster than expected, I was very excited to make some shortbread with a Christmas spirit. You can of course make them in any shape you like. They are crisp and crumbly. They will keep very well in an airtight box. Nowadays it is very easy to find rollers that print the dough in very cute or funny patterns. A real comforting treat when it's cold outside!
