Especially on Mondays, when you feel the weekend is so far away, it's good to set the emotional balance with a nice breakfast. I normally go to sleep when the birds wake up, but if you start your day early, no worries, you don't have to miss this gorgeous breakfast either, just prepare the batter of the American Pancake the previous evening and keep it in the fridge overnight.


Nowadays I love experimenting with spicy desserts so one of the fillings will be a little bit piquant. These treats are not about having food unedible and too hot, these spices, but they will lead you to a totally new dimension of tastes.
