    Dessert Recipes

    After training as a pastry chef, I fell in love with French desserts and with the power of a sweet treat to nourish the soul.

    Where possible, I make my recipes as healthy as possible (and often gluten-free), but every now and then I throw caution to the wind and just make something damn delicious. French cuisine introduced me to using almond flour in desserts—I think you'll love my absolute favorite Almond Flour Chocolate Cake. Or try a dessert that features seasonal fruit like my Strawberry Parfait with Mascarpone Cream. Treat yourself, you deserve it!
