Childhood memories of my grandmother Elisabeth came up when I prepared this dish today. When ever I visited her there was rice pudding. It had a garnish of sugar and cinnamon on top and a tiny piece of butter was melting in the middle of the hot pudding on my plate. Also Greek childen have [...]

This White Chocolate Mousse Tart With Oreo Cookie Crust I have discovered at Petra’s Chili und Ciabatta Blog. Her version looks quite different from mine. This is due to the fact that I did not read her recipe correctly and used a much too big form to bake with. Never the less, a delicious cake [...]
