I have a confession to make – sometimes – when I cook – I pretend I have a show on the Food Network. I don’t talk out loud – or look up to an invisible audience or camera – but I do narrate in my head – I am a little food obsessed. After my first go at college I worked at numerous bakeries and patisseries, eventually working as the lead apprentice to a Pastry Chef at a Hotel restaurant. I was in process of applying to the Pastry program at the Culinary Institute of America when I was slapped with a dose of insanity and decided to join the Navy and move to Italy instead. I have no regrets about any of my life decisions, but I often wonder where I would be had I followed that path. Needlesstosay, I am a fan of dessert – in its purest form to it’s most complex; and in turn I am in love with my new discovery – the Ex-Pat blog Who Wants Seconds. The simple, easy to follow recipes are wonderfully written and the photography is simply sublime – and though she blogs about all sorts of dishes, her dessert page is delish - don’t be surprised if your sweet tooth begins to throb while cruising though this delightful site.
