God Bless Italian Desserts!

Tiramisu. I could live on the stuff. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks in between. 

There's nothing particularly snazzy and jazzy about it, but it's definitely a classic, and one of my favourites. If it's on a menu, I'm having it!

I've posted other Tiramisu recipes with subtle twists but this is the traditional and classic version, and most definitely the recipe I love to use over any other Tiramisu recipe.

It's really quick and easy to make so great if you don't have a lot of time to make something fantastic, and is better made ahead of time to let the flavours develop.

Whip this up, invite some friends over, pour some coffee (and Grappa!) and enjoy some luxury :)

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

To me, Christmas is about receiving the greatest gift the world will ever know, and because of that gift, we have so much to celebrate. We can enjoy good times with our friends and family around us, putting aside any fights or annoyances that we may have had with any of the ones close to us through the past year. Remember all the good things about them and why we're blessed to have them in our lives.

Whatever Christmas means to you, I wish you a joy-filled festive season full of love and good memories in the making, and a wonderful 2010.

And enjoy these lovely little festive macarons too!
