I discovered the true art of making excellent pizza & calzone in Italy! Beautiful, thin, crispy crusts with a slightly chewy edge, garnished with just a few toppings bursting with flavour. This is how I make my Calzone, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy this recipe :->

The rich dough of this rich loaf is laced with fresh orange zest, and stuffed with two fragrant fillings before being shaped and baked. One of these is composed of apricots, orange juice, and zest, and is flavoured with the warm notes of cardamom. The other is a homemade orange-scented almond paste.

Challah is a rich egg bread that cooks to a gorgeous golden brown. The dough is wonderfully tender, and has the colour of pale yellow beaten eggs. Sheer delight, especially served warm from the oven! This is my own recipe ♥

I particularly love tarragon with tomato-based sauces and seafood ♥ This rich tomato sauce finished with a hint of heavy cream, served on a bed of linguini fini and garnished with large, plump, sea scallops quickly sautéed in butter until golden is really wonderful!

“…perfect for dunking, they would soak up a little coffee softening just enough to achieve a perfect texture & for the flavours to mingle on and tantalize my taste buds…” this was my pleasure upon discovering biscotti when I first visited Italy. Fabulous & so simple to make, even for a novice cook!

All you need to make fresh pasta is large, fresh eggs, flour, and a rolling pin! OK, kneading and rolling by hand is a wee bit harder, but if you have a food processor and a simple pasta machine, then it is really simple, and oh so worthwhile! Nothing beats the taste ♥
