Sweet Treats near Circo Massimo
March 19, 2012
Going to bootcamp at Circo Massimo may not be so bad after all especially because I have realized there are two really good places to get a treat after a workout. That’s why we workout right, so that we can indulge once in a while (or more). One offers some lovely variety of pastries which ... Read More »

As I had guests over last weekend for dinner, I was looking for a fusion dessert and when I saw the black sesame panna cotta recipe by Michael Laiskonis, the former pastry chef at Le Benardin, I knew this was it.

Last week I was able to finally meet my sister-in-law for a quick bite at a place she has been wanting to bring me to for quite some time.

Favorite Bakery in Rome: Regoli
January 13, 2012
While I was writing the post on Sicilia e duci, it dawned on me that I have never written a post on my favorite bakery in Rome – Regoli. Even before we moved to Rome and would be here just for the holidays, we would stop by this bakery. Along with a few other places ... Read More »
Bakery in Rome: Sicilia e duci
January 5, 2012
Stepping into this bakery in Rome was heaven and hell all at the same time. Heaven because I loved the selection they had and hell because I can’t have at least one of everything.
