Short crust pastry half-moons with dried fruit

Short crust pastry half-moons are typical desserts of Italian culinary tradition. Depending on where they are made, the recipe can vary a bit, the filling may be different, as may be cooking method also. Traditionally baked around Christmas time in southern regions like Puglia, Calabria, Campania, etc.. they are mostly enjoyed deep-fried (and called Ravioli) at Carnival time in Lombardy, Veneto and other northern areas.

Sweet ricotta mousse

Ricotta is a typical and very versatile Italian cottage cheese: it can be eaten along with savoury dishes, be an ingredient of a savoury dish itself (e.g. pasta with ricotta, quiche..) or it can be a great dessert component! The dessert we suggest in this recipe is a real delicacy - sweet and 100% natural and wholesome at the same time! Feel free to enjoy it.. without the guilt!

Tart with peaches

We are delighted to introduce you to this phenomenal tart with peaches! A typical Italian 'crostata' (meaning something like 'crusty tart'), with fresh fruit and nuts instead of the more classic jam: don't you feel like baking one right now?! Just sweet enough, with a fresh and light taste, it makes the ideal breakfast or tea-time treat. You can even pack it in a Tupperware container to give to your children to take to school: a healthy snack made with love!

Walnut cake

This is a very simple, yet delicious, dessert made with a few basic ingredients: ground walnuts, eggs, sugar and lemon. With its soft consistency and its nutty flavour, this cake is the perfect companion to a hot cup of tea on cold winter's afternoons. You can serve it 'au naturel', sprinkle it with some icing sugar or use it as a base and garnish it with a chocolate or mascarpone ganache.

White caprese

'White Caprese' is a delicious alternative version to the classical Caprese chocolate cake, with which it shares some of the main ingredients - eggs, almonds and butter. Its innovation lays in the use of white chocolate to contrast the bitter flavour of the lemons. The recipe originates from the Isle of Capri, from which it takes its name.
