Chocolate Marquise

In the last few days the weather is not so good over here in England. I needed something to cheer me up, and for me the obvious choice (not so wise) was chocolate. I rather not count how many calories this dessert contains.

Just enjoy it!

Pear and Amaretto Cheesecake with Dark Chocolate

I finally got around to make this cake again for my friend’s request. I made a couple of changes to the original recipe, which is by Gordon Ramsay. It has few stages to follow until completion, but nothing difficult or extravagant. Forget baking! This cake only needs a fridge and a 23-26cm springform cake tin. The flavour of the filling with the dark chocolate base is divine.

Sables Biscuits

This simple French biscuit has it all; Taste, texture. Topped with some homemade jam or lemon curd and it can be a great company for the afternoon tea.
