We spent another whole week- end at home, on the couch.
Mainly because we are saving energy for the next weeks, when school, rugby and many other things will start again after the summer break but also because the weather was rainy and we were too lazy to plan anything but what to see on Netflix.
Those are the right days to cook and bake: I tried some new recipes and they worthed my time.
Both the desserts come from this book by Paul Hollywood:
I have to say I prefer savoury recipes from Paul but these coffee crème caramels and the French apple tart were perfect and tasty as the recipes from him always are.
As usual, when I find time to write a little, I can do it for few minutes before I have to run away doing errands.
So please don’t be bothered if I do not write a lot, this is all I can do if I want to keep the blog alive in two languages.
I am questioning if it worth the efforts because the main public is still Italian and only a small percentage read the English version.
We will see, for now I give you the recipe! 🙂
