La Farinita is what it’s called in Italy. I just refer to it as Farinita. I found the recipe in a magazine- I think it was some type of gourmet magazine that devoted the entire […]

Tomorrow is the 4th of July. What will you be cooking? Will you have a Texas style barbeque going with ribs and brisket? Perhaps something simpler with a festive dessert instead? My personal favorite is […]
