Dolci mediorientali: treccia al cumino
Questo dolce è ottimo se servito sia tiepido che freddo. Ha sapore e profumi delicati, quindi cerchiamo di non coprirlo con gelati alla vaniglia o creme varie…è perfetto invece per un tè pomeridiano o magari accompagnato ad un vino amabile come il Frascati Cannellino.

Homemade tomato jam: restoring my faith in sandwiches, one bite at a time
This formerly tomato-hating jam eater is finding herself in an odd situation. I’m finding myself on the obsessive end of a relationship with my tomato jam.

Event: Chocolate Festival
The first weekend in September I will be flying off to Portugal to learn about cork, but if I was in town I'd be sauntering down to Ghirardelli Square to check out the annual Chocolate Festival.
