“…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!

Petits gateaux aux agrumes

One of my favourite English traditions is an elegant afternoon tea, where fine English tea is served in the best porcelain cups, accompanied by tiny finger sandwiches and dainty buttery pastries. These heavenly “petits gâteaux” are worthy of traditional afternoon teas!
