Valentine’s Day Meal (from Food and Wine)
No matter your Valentine’s Day plans– with family, friends, a significant other, or yourself, there is plenty of love for delicious food to go around. There are plenty of rich main courses (duck!) or decadent (self-made!) desserts. Chocolate. Is. Essential. (Calorie-counting is not allowed.) Enjoy a February 14th full of flavor!!
Chef Fabio shows us a fan-selected favorite: how to make homemade ricotta into quick cannoli filling. (Perhaps the perfect dessert for an Italian Easter brunch – with p!&$ed off eggs?) It is easy to adjust the ricotta for flavor variety and is perfect for the recipe.
(I’m also a fan of the cannoli in the dessert case at Tenuta’s in Kenosha.)
What are your Easter favorites?
Almost there- midway through February. While the winter weather still hasn’t broken (we are getting warnings about water lines to homes freezing in the area!- due to extended cold), we can have some hot cocoa to warm ourselves up in the meantime. But perhaps we can do a little better– or a lot better than Brand X Powdery Cocoa mix, and make it ourselves! It’s easy to put little twists on cocoa to make it unique- mint, marshmallows, caramel, spice… and so on!
