Aroma Panettone, Panettone

Panettone teacakesI  love Panettone and intend to make it some time – I’ve even bought the cases already – but I get the impression it takes an age, is quite complicated, and is prone to failure (sometimes collapsing after you’ve proudly extracted it from the oven). Not that that will deter me. In the meantime, these buns are far simpler and still have the authentic texture, aroma and flavour, just in a smaller package. Not that they’re that small.

He was referring to the way the bagels are poached before being baked. Odd it may be, but the unexpected reward was the delicious aroma that wafted up from the simmering water. Not only that, but the finished bagels were delicious too. Continue reading →

Almond, Biscotti, Biscuit, bitter apricots, Sicily

For someone with a sweet tooth like mine, one of the highlights of a trip to Sicily is to visit the pasticcerie, or cake shops, with their shelves full of beautifully formed biscuits and cakes. Often they will have n-shaped (or z-shaped) biscuits like these. Continue reading →
