Lovely, sweet plums, creamy mascarpone and a crunchy crust, this tarte will look rather impressive on any table.

“Snow-White" Prosecco-Calvados cream, with the “blood-red” currant and "black as ebony” oreo-cust for a fairy tale turned cake.

It was like a dream: St Petersburg’s Eliseyev Emporium is overflowing with delicious sweets, from candy to macarons, to savoury treats, but it was these sugar-spun apples, delicate like glass figurines that I could not pass up.

Cheesecake, fresh raspberries and a crisp tarte shell.

German Steak Sandwich

Alright, there is no German Steak Sandwich. But there should be. We have excellent meat, fresh produce, great cheese and the absolute best beer to wash it down. And thanks to our close vicinity to Italy, Mozzarella and Antipasti are always at our fingertips. Philly’s got nothing on us.

French75 with a Maracuya-Lavender Twist

Published by a little black apron

It’s not for everyone, as Hendrick’s puts it. But if you love a bit of sparkle and are over Mimosas, this French 75 will make your heart skip a bit. The passion fruit and lavender sirup adds delicate, mellow flavours to this drink blending together with the herbal notes of Gin.

Named for good reason, passion fruit adds light, zesty flavours to this fluffy, refreshing no-bake cheesecake. | a little black apron
