Love was in the air at my Romantic Italian Valenti

Love was in the air at my Romantic Italian Valentine’s Dinner cooking class yesterday at @relishculinary where I taught students how to make a sumptuous yet simple Italian meal to romance their special someone by spending less time in the kitchen to have more time for love 💕. The couples did such a great job preparing the meal with my guidance that I can’t wait to hear the results of their real Valentine’s Day dinner 💋.

Lots of testing goes into developing a recipe. A little more of this, a little less of that, and infinite patience to get the flavors, texture, and consistency balanced. Until...you get it right! Hallelujah! Then, write it all down in a clear way for others to follow. Luckily, I had a good starting point for this gluten + dairy free lemon pudding from @tuesdayrecipe. Here is a behind the scenes look at the not-so-glamorous world of recipe writing. My adapted version (after all the testing) is coming soon to the blog so stay tuned. Scroll to see my test results and tell me which one you think won 🤔

Got cookies? I do after making myself a batch of oatmeal Gran Cereale ~ an Italian breakfast biscotto I dearly miss in the U.S. No problem though...I’m getting really close to developing a perfect recipe dupe, and these are gluten free to boot. Now I can happily dunk a few of these healthy, delicious biscotti into my daily oat milk cappuccino each morning. What do you eat for breakfast?
