I'm sure you already know how much I love sharing recipes, both classics and those that break away from the traditional way they’re usually eaten.

Although you probably already know, I confess I'm a chocolate lover. A very chocolatey one. I don't make distinctions when it comes to varieties, because I like them all! But if I must confess a secret, my weakness comes in the form of a drink, and this spiced white chocolate is heavenly.

My most chocolate-loving self comes today with a recipe that's perfect for whipping up an afternoon snack or making a festive breakfast: an irresistible Nutella braided ring. A sweet treat that tastes like a crunchy chocolate croissant in every bite and that you can enjoy fresh from the oven or a few hours later, if there's any left!

This tale came from my imagination one day when a boy whom I knew loved stories was going to be left without a gift. So I gave him the spoon along with this story.

Thank you for joining me on this little adventure!

Ebelskivers are small Danish dough balls (originating from Denmark) that are cooked in a special pan with round compartments.

A few days ago I suggested a salmon sashimi; today's recipe revolves around another typical Japanese preparation that I absolutely love. This beef tataki with sautéed vegetables is a perfect dish to enjoy meat and vegetables in a different way, and I'm sure you're going to love it.
