It was like a dream: St Petersburg’s Eliseyev Emporium is overflowing with delicious sweets, from candy to macarons, to savoury treats, but it was these sugar-spun apples, delicate like glass figurines that I could not pass up.
Alright, there is no German Steak Sandwich. But there should be. We have excellent meat, fresh produce, great cheese and the absolute best beer to wash it down. And thanks to our close vicinity to Italy, Mozzarella and Antipasti are always at our fingertips. Philly’s got nothing on us.
It’s not for everyone, as Hendrick’s puts it. But if you love a bit of sparkle and are over Mimosas, this French 75 will make your heart skip a bit. The passion fruit and lavender sirup adds delicate, mellow flavours to this drink blending together with the herbal notes of Gin.
After months of mostly apples, oranges and bananas, our local grocery store had passion fruit on sale last week. It just seemed too good an opportunity to pass up, and so I decided to bring a few rays of sunshine and flavours of warmer months into our kitchen with this refreshing, fruity dessert.
For a fluffy, fruity and light dessert, try these Blueberry Mini Pavlovas. A little champagne and a hint of pink peppercorn make this dessert go from good to great and a perfect treat for a special night in.
