Vanilla panna cotta with strawberries and basil

Cream and strawberries are timeless classics, and basil and strawberries are already becoming recognized classics as well. I combined these three ingredients into one dish and the boring creamy panna cotta took on a new flavor. It's very easy and quick to make, and it's perfect for both home treats and guests.

Chocolate panna cotta with cherry sauce

The combination of cherries and chocolate is probably one of the most widespread: this is "Black Forest&quot cake, and a lot of other, no less tasty cakes and pastries. In this seemingly simple dessert, cherries get along well with chocolate, their sourness creating a balance of flavor and turning an ordinary panna cotta into a very tasty treat.

Spaghetti with pesto sauce

This dish is a lifesaver when you don't want to spend much time in the kitchen. The Pesto recipe I've already written about is an absolutely amazing sauce that goes great with fish, as a salad dressing, and can turn ordinary pasta into a restaurant dish. Everything is quite simple - while the pasta is boiling, you whip up the sauce in a blender, and in 15 minutes you serve a delicious dish. Even meat lovers will be delighted, proven!

Pizza with pumpkin, goat cheese and ham

I never stop discovering new facets of such a wonderful vegetable as pumpkin. This time I made pizza according to the recipe from the magazine "Gastronom" - I could not pass by the combination of my favorite dish and favorite vegetable, a little modified the recipe to suit myself and it turned out very tasty. My husband and sister, who are not at all delighted with pumpkin, swallowed the pizza in seconds. Well and as always with pizza - everything can be replaced, added and combined depending on your mood. Just please leave the pumpkin out of the dish - it's absolutely delicious.

Rum Baba

I was quite satisfied with my first experience - the dough of my "baba" turned out loose and airy, the impregnation made it juicy and flavorful. Of course, there is still room for improvement to replicate the store-bought analog, but the trial is good. Try to add raisins or candied fruits, they will be very appropriate here. By the way, you can take such a baba with you when you visit, which is especially important for the New Year and Christmas holidays.

Marble cupcake with coconut shavings

A delicious and quick to make cupcake that will not leave all coconut lovers indifferent. The shavings make it quite crumbly, though not dry - the texture is soft and light and you can clearly feel the coconut in it. You can make a cupcake without adding cocoa, but the marbled pattern is more interesting and appetizing. Treat your loved ones to a delicious and light baking experience.

Pork ribs in ginger marinade.

Pork ribs are hardly the easiest dish to serve at a party or a family dinner. They're prepared simply by soaking them in marinade beforehand and then popping them in the oven before serving. At the same time, the meat is always juicy - it does not let the contained fat dry out. The ginger marinade works well with fatty pork meat - you can also marinate barbecue ribs in it, and if you can't bake them outdoors, the oven is a good alternative.

Waffle cake with condensed milk and almonds

I'm not a student anymore, but sometimes I remember my student years - with interesting and not so interesting lectures, constant queuing at the university canteen and penny prices for food, and a dormitory with a common kitchen and simple dishes that we managed to cook on it. There was no oven in the dormitory, and after hard classes sometimes I wanted to treat myself to something tasty and sweet, but not requiring baking. Such simple and quick recipes came to the rescue, based on the principle - spread and eat, and the dishes turned out very tasty. I used to make this waffle cake sometimes, and I like it even now, because who doesn't like boiled condensed milk?
