My adult son hates anything Almond so I told him not to touch the cake. Needless to say it was finished in one sitting ! When asked you ate most of it, everyone pointed to him 😀. It was delicious. Thank you for sharing.

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!
