"Any dessert recipe that looks this special, is no-cook, is a quick-fix & is make-ahead easy gets my serious attention. This 1 is by Teresa Gilardi Candler from "The Northern Italian Cookbook". The recipe said it served 8-12, but that seemed like a lrg variant to me so I opted to say 10. You may want to decide this for yourself. Enjoy!"

Iceland

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
