Gelato alla pesca

In the last six month I’ve changed so much that my friends call me “The New Sara”. And depending from the situation, with a smile, a grin or an angry face!The pro of “The New Sara” is basically that I’m nicer. Sometimes. And that I’m surrounded by waves of personal luck I’ve never noticed in

Peach and mascarpone syllabub

I really love syllabubs: they are simple, quick, always good and looking always good!This peach, raspberries and mascarpone verrines are from a BBC Good Food insert about Summer Entertaining: so summery! So refreshing! Indeed… đŸ˜‰ 4 thick slices of Madeira cake (which I made, but you’ll get the recipe another time! Just for your knowledge,

EBBP#7: Childhood sweets

As a little girl I wasn’t very keen on sweets: never ate many caramelle (sugar sweets), but I ate loads of chocolate!When I saw two months ago the theme for this year Euro Blogging By Post I though that maybe I wasn’t really fitting in, but then I found some stuff to send!When Saturday morning

The best scone I’ve ever baked

Seriously!Those are the simplest, tastier and better looking scones I’ve ever baked, and you all know my addiction to this wonderful English treats!Sunday morning I woke up early and already annoyed and so what could I do better if not baking? And baking scones, what there is better in life then that??? Apart the obvious,

Budino!

Watching a video of Jacques PĂ©pin, found through The Amateur Gourmet, I was fascinated by his allure and his elegance… His recipe for Hasty Pudding reminded me my old love for budino (the Italian equivalent of pudding). Budino is the simplest dessert of all, if made with the powder selled in supermarkets, and it’s even

Panna cotta

Panna cotta is an Italian classic, so simple, straight and quick that it’s worth it making it!It’s even one of my favourite dessert and as it is so difficult to find it well made in restaurants, I always prefer making it myself, at home.It’s normally accompanied with red berries or chocolate, but this time I’ve

Come as you are muffins…

That is what could happen in a normal household on a (sunny) Sunday morning, when you say to your (normally clever and wit) husband: “Dear, I’m going to take a shower. Can you watch the muffins in the oven in the mean while? I put the timer, when it rings take them out”.I came out
