Chocolate and almond Chip Cookies

I tried this recipe for the first time in December 2008. I went to a coffee shop a few days before that and was amazed at how everything in that shop looked kitsch, from the desserts displayed to the way they were displayed. I was mostly mesmerised by the huge chocolate chip cookies sitting in huge cookie jars, a reminiscent of housewives baking giant cookies for their kids. From that day on, I decided that my chocolate chip cookies would be intentionally huge, just to have a feel of that shop again.

This chocolate chip cookie recipe contains no egg but milk instead. This recipe will yield about 5 huge cookies.

Green Apple Granité

Nothing sounds more exotic than Granité. You can even bet that some of your friends or guests would have never even heard about it before and this, ladies and gents, significantly increases the probability of you impressing them by making one.

A granité is basically a frozen fruit juice that has been raked with a fork to obtain tiny sweet and delicious ice cubes that are a wonderful delight to the mouth. This recipe is ideal as a summer dessert and a great way to accommodate fresh fruits in an original fashion.

Agar Milk Jelly

The milk jelly is a relatively light dessert that I love to serve very cold in summer. It's also ridiculously easy to make and require very few ingredients so that it can be an option if you've got surprise guests coming or not enough time at your disposition to make an elaborate dessert.

Let's get on with the ingredients required to make this delightfully easy dessert.

Napolitaine Recipe

I made Napolitaines today. They were not perfect to the eye but they tasted great. I followed this recipe and I must say that it was really accurate! It took me about one hour to bake 2 platters of these cookies. I guess my family will really enjoy this one!
