When my parents were here for Christmas, the brought me some Violet essence that they had bought in France. I love to use flower essences in desserts.

Watermelon Margarita

Watermelon Margarita

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I thought of sharing a cocktail recipe.  The very first time I had a margarita, it was in Tijuana.  I was 19.  Yes, I know what you think… but no, I hadn’t gone there to drink to my heart’s content.  In fact, I have never been big on…

Oysters Kilpatrick

OYSTERS KILPATRICK

I must admit I am not a big fan of oysters.  Actually, I do not eat them.  I know, I know… what foodie am I, right??  I just cannot bring myself to like them, which is a shame considering the great quality-at-reasonable-prices-oysters that you can find in Sydney!  But my husband eats them for both…

LIGHT CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH ORANGE LIQUEUR – MOUSSE DI CIOCCOLATO “LIGHT” AL LIQUORE D’ARANCIA

I love everything chocolate… and what’s better than a chocolate mousse to celebrate Valentine’s Day with the one you love?  This is a lighter version than the traditional chocolate mousse because it does not require cream: I just use egg whites to make it fluffy.  I usually make this mousse with rum, but this time…
