Long time no see, my friends! It has been a while since my last post. I have been spending my time mostly with work – covid style of course. It seems like preparations for the next thing never ends. Don’t get me wrong, I am extremely grateful that our business is doing ok with everythingRead more

Mango Kefir Panna Cotta & Coconut Honey Shortbread
A few weeks ago, I received an email about Donia Farm‘s new grass-fed milk and their line of kefir products, and they invited me for a farm tour.

Mango Raspberry Yogurt Tart
