It’s so rare that I crave anything sweet, but going through pictures of this cake was torturous. I can still remember how enjoyable it was, the sweetness of the sauternes and dense yellow flesh, even though I made it weeks...
I'm not a huge coffee drinker and I'll admit that the sole reason for me wanting this piece is because it's so damn cool. How beautiful would it look on the table in a dimly lit room at the end of a long meal with friends?
My kir pomegranate punch is special but simple. Grab your favourite sparkling wine, mix with pomegranate juice and pour a little well of cassis at the bottom of each flute or coupe for a drink that screams new year's eve.
This home-made hot chocolate is ridiculously easy to make and you can control the flavour, opting to use more or less milk-chocolate which is the where all of the sweetness is coming from.
