BAKE-STREET

We are back after a few days of rest, lots of family meals, lots of leisure and lots of time in the kitchen too! Even though I haven’t published, I have been developing recipes to start this year with a little margin.

For some time I had the idea of leaving you a post with a small Christmas assortment, simple pastries although they do not seem so in appearance, to be able to leave prepared in advance for the holidays that are coming.

I think it’s a good time to start with Christmas recipes. I’m not going to say anything that you don’t already know… I love Christmas! It is an enchanting time for me that goes beyond exchanging gifts.

I had been meaning to share some recipes mainly made with egg whites, especially since our recent recipes have used a lot of yolks, and I know those egg whites tend to pile up in the fridge.

Well, first of all I must say that today’s recipe changed during the testing process. Originally, I wanted to make the famous Portuguese Cocada Amarela, but it did not turn out as I had in mind. It is true that the result was good, but I was looking for another result (specifically this one).

I believe I have never gone this long without posting on my website… But you know it has been for a good cause—my book! In the end, there are many things to manage, and what seems like a quick task often turns into weeks of work.
