MAIN COURSE: Meat Patties

DESSERT: Tiramisu
|
|
|
Tiramisu means “pick me up” in Italian, referring to its energizing combination of coffee and cocoa. It is a relatively modern classic, believed to have been created in the 1960s in Treviso. Despite its simplicity, it became one of the most famous Italian desserts worldwide thanks to its rich yet airy texture and no-bake preparation.

NEW RECIPE
Lavender Syrup
Lavender syrup has long been made in Provence, France, where fields of fragrant lavender bloom every summer. This homemade version uses freshly harvested culinary lavender blossoms to create a delicate floral syrup that pairs beautifully with coffee, tea, lemonade, sparkling water, cocktails, and desserts. The flavor is subtle and elegant—never overpowering—when steeped for the proper amount of time.
