Crostata di ricotta

There was the 2nd birthday of one boy and i was asked to bring something with me. I decided to make one of my favourite pie - Ricotta Pie! There is almost no sugar in it and it's fresh, light and very tasty - kids love it. And it's very easy to make - I love it ;)

Cantuccini - via Silvia Baracchi

My Husband is a fan of italian cookies! Biscotti or Cantuccini. It's the same, right? And one day I decided, the they alway should be available at our place! Next to coffee machine there is "always and forever" a nice box, where he can find them anytime ;) Also I cook them for his Office Lounge, so that he can proudly serve home-made cantucci round his clients. I find it pretty nice way to say hello to him during he is working ;) ...and recently I found one recipe,which is even better, than the one I used before (here)! You should definitely try it... 

Favorite time...

Beautiful autumn! 
Even I live now in a different county, it still smells like in my childhood... Smells like dry leaves, like happiness! And a Sunday lunch in a family garden after a nice long walk - it's one of the coziest thing during this time!

I hope you enjoy this autumn like i do ;)

Choco Cookies via Le chef Armand Arnal

I bake them regularly and you can find them in our home anytime, but share the secret recipe only now... Below you can as well see my photo progress - there you'll find the first picture of this cookies I made 100 years ago... ;)

Raspberry Brandy

Very simple way of making "home-made" winter digestive. It's a very nice drink after cozy dinner with friends.

Take a nice bottle, fill it with raspberry, add some sugar and pour white rum. Leave it for about two month, after filter it und keep in a cool oder cold place. 

Just perfect for a "grace-cup"! ;)

Almond cake with dried plums by Gui Gedda

Thank wonderful cake is one more recipe from Gui Gedda. 

As you know I have his book, but unfortunately there are not enough pictures, so I can't really be inspired with the recipes, even I'm sure they are just great! So I mostly cook, when I see pictures of Belonika. There are lot of them, they are all so sunny, that I always get a desire to run to a shop and start cooking immediately! This cake I did already several times - it's just great!
