Being Italian, I am always on the lookout for Tiramisu recipes. This one was excellent. The mix of flavors was over the top and good to serve to guests, which I did. We all loved it and I will definately be making this again. I can't understand why the low ratings. They must have done something wrong! Try this, and you will see how wonderful it is. Heck, if it's good enough for Balducci's to serve, you KNOW it's gotta be good!

Hey Everyone! Greetings from Sunny Singapore! I'm am so glad to have found this site. It is waaaayyy better than other sites I've been.
I have about 240 cookbooks and my faves are the older cookbooks I got from my mom as I prefer from scratch cooking.
I have created several cookbooks dedicated to the use of eggs. I have come across a number of recipes requests for using up lots of eggs. So there they are.

The above is a picture of me at my office's Annual Christmas cum costume party. I won first prize with that orange costume! The one with the (fake) Tattoos was taken in Dec 2007 when I again won first prize.
I love spicy food and the many different kinds of chilli dips different foods calls for!!
Love baking, cross stitching, trying my hand now in shoe beading and patchwork and now doing a course on aromatherapy. Oh and am now trying to raise a flower and herb garden but it is not easy as I am a newbie at that too!
In some of my recipes, you will note that there is a letter in brackets at the beginning of the name. This is what it means :
(A) : Aromatherapy/Homeopathic/Less toxic
I'm not crazy about recipes using pre-mix cakes as I am a more from-scratch person. My recipes will have the local name (when applicable) as well as the anglicised name, eg "Au Nee (Sweet Yam Paste).
If I had a month off, I'd be in Texas.
