My favorite type of brownie has a fudgy yet chewy texture with a crinkly top, and this recipe delivers just that! The addition of rye flour in the batter brings a delicate nutty taste to the brownies and pairs perfectly with bittersweet/dark chocolate. Don’t skip the flaky sea salt at the end, it adds an

Sesame Oatmeal Cookies
Tahini is constantly on rotation in my kitchen. I love to use it in salad dressings, drizzle it on roasted vegetables, or mix it in carob molasses for a quick dessert. I’ve also been experimenting with it in pastries and found that the sesame taste overpowers neutral-ish ingredients like a carrot or zucchini. However, it

The not too ripe bananas and few teaspoons of cornstarch in the batter give it a nice tender structure that’s not too moist and mushy. Feel free to experiment with other add-in ingredients like substituting the dates with figs,

Rosemary Chocolate Chip Cookies
Here’s the ultimate chocolate chip cookie recipe that I’ve baked dozens of times.

Always remember to handle the dough as little as possible to avoid a tough

Rhubarb Financier Tart with Rose Water
This is what I consider a perfect spring time treat. The combination of the tart rhubarb, hint of rose, and lightly sweetened almond cake got me hooked the first time making this wonderful financier cake last spring. So when I first spotted rhubarb at the farmer’s market a few weeks ago, I immediately bought a pound to bake this
