We are almost at the finish line for the holiday season, but we still find lots of good ideas: candles, dried fruits, gold, red, bows, flowers ...

In love! EVOO from Selfridges

I love EVOO and when it comes in a beautiful bottle like this, I love even more!

This EVOO is from Selfridges and it's perfect not only to have at home, but also as a gift for someone else!

This week's DELIGHT: Cranberry Upside-Down Cake

I always thought that upside-down cakes were to difficult to make, but I made this one a couple of weeks ago and it was very easy. Loved it!

You can make this cake with any other berry that I think will be very good too. And at summer time, this cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream should be even better!

Check out the recipe here.

Cheers!

Weekend is here and to get in the mood for the holiday season, here's a perfect drink, very refreshing, that should appeal especially to women: Disaronno Stardusk

50 ml of Disaronno (or any other almond liqueur)
25 ml of vodka
25 ml strawberry liqueur
Prosecco

Preparation: Pour all ingredients into a flute glass and fill it with prosecco (make sure all ingredients are chilled!)

A beautiful weekend, everyone!

(Fonuts)

Here in LA there is always some new idea from the culinary world, and this time, the novelty is (Fonuts).
Recently opened (Fonuts) sells baked donuts. That's right! Baked!
I've had the opportunity to try them a few times, and they don't taste like a real donut, but it is so good that you will not even think about the other one.
The dough melts in your mouth and the flavors are yummy: banana, chocolate, cinnamon and sugar, glazed, strawberry buttermilk, lemon, peanut butter, salted caramel, and my favorite, maple bacon, dough topped with glaze and bits of maple bacon.
They also have vegan and gluten free options. And I've tried these too, and if no one tells you, you won't notice the difference!

The last time I was there, I had (clockwise): chocolate hazelnut (gluten free), maple bacon, banana (gluten free and vegan) and strawberry icing. One very different from the other, but 2 thumbs up for all of them!

To eat (almost) with no guilty!
