Mock Zabaglione Recipe
Posted on 25th of October, 2011 by Lévana
I haven’t had the authentic zablaglione, a luscious Italian whipped egg-yolk-sugar-and-port cream, since one day I got sick from -and ashamed of- having splurged on it. But even at small doses, not everyone can afford it: I trust you will like the results of my tinkering: It tastes very much...

Posted on 25th of October, 2011 by Lévana
The easiest ever! and so much fun, and delicious! You can make both the zabaglione (I am including my delicious recipe!) and the puff pastry layers several days in advance: The perfect no-pressure dessert! I love to use Pepperidge Farm puff pastry, it never lets me down. Just keep it...

Apple Sauce Recipe
Posted on 24th of October, 2011 by Lévana

Caramel Sauce Recipe
Posted on 18th of October, 2011 by Lévana
Another glowing example of a treat known as dairy that doesn’t in the least suffer from a dairy-free adaptation, au contraire! (Go ahead and multiply the recipe if you would like—it keeps very well.) Delicious over ice cream, pound cake, bread puddings, etc… For a richer texture, I use a...

Pumpkin Pecan Pie Recipe: Gluten-Free Friendly!
Posted on 7th of October, 2011 by Lévana
I usually find the holiday pecan pie almost too sweet for human consumption, but when I add a pumpkin filling, the customary cloying sweetness is pleasantly mitigated. Besides, pumpkin and pecans are a match made in dessert heaven. This pie adapt beautifully to gluten-free needs, as you could make the...

Posted on 10th of September, 2011 by Lévana
Lemon non-lovers need not apply! but I doubt we’ll find too many of these! The lemon curd is pure lemon seduction: I love to make these, not only because they are outrageous, but also because they are so low maintenance: Make your curd anytime and keep it refrigerated. Then make...

Plum Tart Recipe
Posted on 24th of August, 2011 by Lévana
I have my mother to thank for providing the inspiration for this beautiful tart. The base is not a classic pie crust as we know it, more like a cookie dough, making this tart much less perishable than the classic apple pie. You will create in no time a dessert...

Chocolate Hazelnut Meringues Recipe
Posted on 28th of May, 2011 by Lévana
Not so distant cousins of the French Macaroons, meringues are ethereally light and fragrant. There are no additions to the basic egg white-sugar whipped mixture that would not be perfectly suitable, only, as always, short and sweet selection please! Coconut, lemon, coffee etc. Ingredients: 4 egg whites Pinch salt Pinch cream...
