There’s a new chef in town!
Yep. That’s me! Those of you who have been around awhile know I’m not an overly confident cook (see #91).
However, I sense a change in the air.
I don’t know how, given my seemingly busy schedule, but I have much more time to cook in Italy. And, little by little, it’s paying off.
Continuing my share the love theme from last week, I made our B&B’full of hungry working Napoletani muffins for Valentine’s Day.
Oh, but silly me, I never CAN just follow a recipe. (Which my mother claims to be the source of my epicurean difficulties. Ahhh, but I digress…) So, I, uhm, borrowed a Blood Orange Buttercream Glaze from my friend to drizzle on top (and I added nuts)!
My muffin recipe made so much batter, I had enough left over for a whole cake!
I’m just saying…
Oh yummy yummy!
Delina – they were good. I am only bragging b/c I have never made anything that is so good. And, P couldn’t even try it!
Looks delish! My husbands aunt (they’re Italian) makes a cake just like that but somewhere in there it has apples…mmmmmm…
Mmm…you just love to torture Peppe don’t you?
They look yummy! By the way, I think changing recipes around is a good thing.
Dear Cheriye. Happy New Year (with a few weeks delay! but it is never too late to congratulate for happy occasions…)
I am one of your new readers, writing from Iran.
1- What do you about modest Islamic Hijab? a divine order that is given to muslims around the world in order to save their personality, beauty and fashion? International mainstream media try to create a black propaganda about this issue and you can never recognize the real truth about this… but what about looking at some interesting pictures of women wearing modern hijab? go to http://helloyahoomail.net/en
2- What do you know about Mevlana, the great Sufi Poet of Persian gulf land? did you ever know that he didn’t write even a couplet of Turkish poem? http://www.persianmevlana.ir this website lets you gather valuable information on Mevlana.
3- and finally I invite you to take a visit of http://cyberfaith.blogspot.com to learn more about great Iran, the cradle of science, arts and power in the world today…
