I started baking as a new year’s resolution in 2014, inspired by my cousin Enrica’s change of career from lawyer to patissière. A year later my friends encouraged me to join a cake club. This page documents my journey into the creamy depths of continental baking, from Scandinavian buns to Italian sponges, from Dutch biscuits to French macarons.

My recipes (indexed here) use only natural ingredients and follow the seasons for flavours and textures. You will also find here Enrica’s masterclasses, reviews of dream bakeries and cafés and recommendations for inspiring baking books.
