  • Catalan tart

    • Angus on January 06, 2013

      WARNING ! The recipe for this seems to omit the fact that once you have put together your catalan cream you need to continue to heat it (whilst whisking) in order for it to thicken (otherwise it will remain very thin and not at all what you want !).

  • Calzone

      It’s hard to find fresh yeast in America but-If you can- and if you make your ricotta fresh which is super easy, this dish is REALLY good.
