I consider citrus to be one of my personal culinary obsessions, an addiction that leads to much marmalade.

This pasta is incredible, the dough was the driest I have ever made and I’m convinced that contributed to its fantastic consistency. Without a doubt this best I have ever eaten! Give this recipe for taglialtelle with duck ragu a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Sugar cookies with whole wheat flour

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

For Valentine’s Day, I made these heart shaped sugar cookies for my daughter’s class. The cookies are made with wheat flour and a little less sugar than most sugar cookie recipes. They are tasty just the same and bake up chewy, yet crunchy on the outside. I used royal icing to decorate but they great plain.

Lovely Pizza Dough, Pretty Flowers Too

Monday, February 15th, 2010

We decided to make heart shaped pizzas in our wood burning oven for dinner and chocolate fondue for dessert. Benedetta was here (her one day off on her month long tour) and she gave me a tip to not use olive oil in the dough because it weighs down its consistency. We tried it without oil and it was so beautiful!
