I usually get strawberry tiramisu from Pompi, which claims to be the King of Tiramisu (Il Re di Tiramisu) but with children’s parties coming up, I wanted to see if I can make them at home. On top of that, with Spring well on its way, we now find strawberries in the shops and with ... Read More »

March 2, 2012
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.

February 26, 2012
In Rome, I tend to cook Italian food at home more frequently than Asian meals. For whatever reason, I just find it easier to cook Italian meals as I feel there is less prep work.

This year for Christmas, I finally decided to learn how to make tortellini. With many months of practice in making fresh pasta, I figured I am ready to make tortellini for Christmas day.

Ricciarelli Recipe: Italian Christmas Treat
December 17, 2011
That’s all there is to the ricciarelli recipe? This was my reaction when I was researching some ricciarelli recipes online.
