Chocolate Meringue Cake

Gobbled on November 18, 2014 by tartepink

I started blogging 4 years ago because I fell in love with food photography. As a person who loves photography it was only logical to be on Instagram , but I think to me Instagram was only mobile photography and filters so I was not involved. Recently, I started posting on Instagram and oh my god I think I just found my calling. I probably previously mentioned my addictive personality so it is basically giving a bong to a pothead. Now, I have almost one-photo-a-day average and it is very impressive for a lazy head like me. Now I share more pictures (OK, I admit less recipes); food porn, coffee porn, little bit of nature porn, a hint of babies and whatnot, and this makes me very very HAPPY!

So come and find me on INSTAGRAM!

Chocolate Macarons

Gobbled on July 5, 2014 by tartepink

Don’t even think that I have the ability to publish two posts a day; as I said I’m just cleaning and tidying up my dusty site- and found this over 1 year old post on the shelves desperately waiting to be posted. So no need for small talk when a post is about the French Master! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the chocolate macarons by Pierre Herme! Enjoy responsibly!

Fried Calamari

Gobbled on May 26, 2014 by tartepink

What is your favorite finger food? Fried calamari is one of my all-time favorites to nibble on during a game or movie night! So easy to make, so so yummy to eat. Only one caveat! I prefer not to clean it myself because it grosses me out. I do not like to see all the organs, the quill and that black mush. Ew! Of course if you want to/have to clean it yourself no biggie!

This recipe is really good; you won`t end up with mushy or plastic like calamaris. Follow the instructions and rings will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside! It is a promise!

Chocolate and Lemon Madeleines

Gobbled on April 15, 2013 by tartepink

When I feel a little under the weather and or just unhappy, I take my favorite blanket and watch Chocolat. I can always count on Vianne- I’m in good hands. When she sees me, she always knows what I need the most at that time. Sometimes she offers me her 2000 year old Mayan recipe hot chocolate, sometimes her rich chocolate cake. It is often the darkest, the most bitter chocolate, but the red pepper jewel chocolates other times. Then as a cherry on top, once they party with Roux and gypsies on the boat, I’m a new person- no fuss, no drama! This happened again next week or so. When the movie finished I was craving for chocolate something. I was already drooling over the Pierre Herme’s Chocolate Deserts book for the last 45 minutes of the movie. Looking at the usual suspects, couldn’t decide what to bake, wanted them all, then decided on these chocolate madeleines. I baked, eat 3, then photographed, then eat another one… HAPPY!
