Yes, I know, I have been away a long time. Sorry 😦
But I come baring gifts… well, cake, but that’s the same right?
And this one’s all for you. You don’t even have to share it.

Blog anniversary and Gordon Ramsay’s chocolate and pistachio semifreddo
In every job that must be done
There is an element of fun
You find the fun and snap!
The job’s a game!
I’m a big fan of Mary Poppins. The Disney version, at least. And I couldn’t find anything better than the opening lines for A Spoonful Of Sugar to describe what the past year has been like.
One year ago today, I clicked that button that created AlaLemon.com, and it has been one very unexpected yet fun ride. I was reflecting on that recently, and I realised how much I am enjoying it.
Ireland: Beef & Guinness stew
If you like cooking and/or you’re following cooking sites/blogs/pages, then you certainly have noticed the flood of shamrock, chocolate and rainbow-coloured foods, with the occasional pot of gold thrown in (leprechaun is optional).

St-Nicholas’ Mannele
With December fast approaching, you may have seen, in many bakers’ windows, small man-shaped brioches named Mannele (or Mannala, or Jean Bonhomme).
Tipsy chocolate cupcakes with raspberry frosting
Today is a special day. Today is … never mind! Who’s counting?
Anyway, because it’s a celebration day, and because I have the kitchen for myself, that implies baking your own cake … or cakes for that matter. Because why have one cake when you can have several?
Chocolate tartlets
One of the upsides of having to leave unexpectedly for a long period of time is that, culinary speaking, and as you have to empty the fridge as fast as humanly possible, it can get your creative juices flowing.
