Cookies with Halva & Raisins

These biscuits are "official", luxurious and ideal to be offered in a sunday relaxing breakfast or in an afternoon meeting with loved ones and the family at a small call friends for coffee and chat or a tea and sympathy as they did once in the grandiose houses with the habits of the old aristocracy. Surely we can not stop enjoying them with hot tea or openings in the middle with freshly ground butter and homemade orange marmalade.
They are made easily and quickly, consumed without remorse and without restraint. They are fluffy, plump & scratchy. Their sugar content is small because Halva (with Super Fruits) and Raisins, the Greek super antioxidant, add enough sweetness. We are sure you will love them as much as we do.
Yours!

Lenten Chocolate Cake

Chocolate cake and fasting with aromas of citrus have the dominant discourse. Simple and swift procedures without using a mixer, without eggs without butter.
Simply mix the ingredients of the cake with a spoon, add the mixture by the scoop to the form, creating a checkerboard pattern alternating the chocolate and the white mixture. As we do with the zebra cake. Optionally you can flood with a velvety chocolate ganache. Garnish with rolls of orange zest from Orange Spoon Sweet and enjoy it with less… remorse.
Yours!
