Cyprus - Flaouna
A typical easter bake from Cyrpus, Flaouna is a delicious cheese pastry filled with mint, raisins and herbs. The dough is coated in white sesame seeds before adding in the filling which gives these a delicious nutty flavour. If you can, get your hands on the traditional spices (I’ve included some substitutions in case you can’t.)
The Netherlands - Stroopwafel
Whenever I can get my hands on Stroopwafels, I do. They’re my favourite treat to go alongside an afternoon coffee. I love the way they get all gooey and soft when they side atop your mug for a few minutes. Although I adore them so, I’ve never had a fresh Stroopwafel. So, until I can plan a trip to The Netherlands to fetch one, homemade will have to be the next best thing.
Caramel, Custard Valentines Doughnuts
Soft, pillowy doughnuts filled with super light custard and raspberry preserve. All finished off with a crisp caramel top. Of course they’re heart shaped, the perfect gift for your Valentine.
Mexico - Tres Leches Cake
This was the first time I had tasted Tres Leches Cake and I have to admit, I was quite apprehensive at first. I really though it was going to be way too sweet for me with all the condensed and evaporated milk. But I was so wrong! I absolutely adored this cake, I found it so moreish and couldn’t stop going back for more. My boyfriend loved it so much, he’s requested it for his birthday this year!
