This year, during a wonderful trip to America, I learned how to make amazing pancakes for breakfast! More than the recipe, what I was missing was the technique… in fact, I was always trying to get rid of the lumps in the batter, but I discovered that they’re actually important for making the pancakes fluffy and super soft!

Today I wanted an apricot tart that was a little different from the usual—softer and more crumbly…so I asked Anita for the recipe for her apricot tart, which I remembered being really good! In just a few simple steps, you’ll have a cake that the whole family will love. This recipe for apricot tart is amazing, and success is guaranteed!

Trick-or-treat? This American holiday is becoming more and more popular in Italy too, and the treats you can make are truly endless!! :D Today I wanted to share with you these vanilla cookies filled with jam or Nutella, shaped like terrifying pumpkins and skulls. They’re super easy to make, and the kids will love them!!!

The chocolate tart is the quintessential homemade dessert; when I was little, my mom used to make all kinds of them for me! It’s a healthy and tasty snack, and it’s super easy to make—as I’ll explain in a moment! This time I made it with strawberry jam, but feel free to experiment with other kinds of jam: for example, Dulcis in Forno (link) made it with apricot jam… and the result doesn’t look bad at all!
