Quick bakes, indulgent treats and seasonal sweets

Hundreds of recipes by Elara Maeve – fast desserts, rich treats and seasonal bakes.

Profile:

Elara Maeve's recipes start from a simple question: how do you get a dessert that feels special without a long afternoon in the kitchen? The largest share of her work sits in Quick & Easy, from no-bake pies and dips to one-pan bakes and cookies that go from mixing bowl to table in under an hour.

The second big group is Indulgent Treats: fudge brownies, cheesecake bars, cupcakes with cookie dough frosting and other rich, generous sweets. She also develops seasonal recipes built around peaches, pumpkin, zucchini and apples, plus a smaller set of classic bakes and dishes from other countries.

What ties it together is practicality. Recipes list ingredients and quantities up front, give timings and oven temperatures you can plan around, and keep techniques approachable for home bakers at any level. Browse her latest recipes below to find your next bake.
