Almond-Cornmeal Black Currant Cakes

Reminiscent of the crisp tops of berry corn muffins, these golden little cakes are absolutely irresistible. The cakes have a delicious sugary crust like muffin top, but unlike muffins, the crumb is moist, buttery, and very tender. Serve them with tea, or pair them with ice cream or fresh fruit for dessert.

Ricotta Pancakes with Berry Coulis & Whipped Cream

I'm entertaining this weekend, and when one particular friend of mine comes over, I always make sure this is on the menu – my ricotta pancakes with berry coulis is her absolute favorite! If you love good breakfast and you haven't tried this, make it with me.

Orange-Cranberry-Pistachio Biscotti

A biscotto, a hard Italian biscuit, ideal served at the end of a meal to deep into sweet wine, is actually one of the few biscuits that does what it says on the label: it's actually baked twice (bis - twice, cotto - cooked). This one is made with beautiful ingredients: fragrant pistachios, cranberries and orange. The added  yellow cornmeal gives them a golden appearance and also make them complement the wonderful sweet red wine of Italy. Also excellent with a cup of coffee or tea.
