Over the past couple of years (since I am writing this blog and publishing recipes) it often happened that friends gave me little gifts from their travels abroad. Little sweet treats and baked stuff from all over the world. You could think “Oh how nice – they wanted to show what cool stuff they have in other countries and give you a nice gift”. Well… it’s actually more like “Hey I got this XX from XY and it tastes so nice. You should try. Maybe that’s something for your blog since you like to bake and do such stuff”. Sure ;) What should I do with the leftovers? Oh, I should give them to you at the end? Of course! :P Well… here you got the reason why I have some Pignoli from Italy for you today.
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
