Tiramisu has long been one of my all-time favourite desserts. The combination of sweet mascarpone, coffee-soaked sponge cake, and the dusting of cocoa powder speaks to my soul. Tiramisu provides sweet, sweet closure to the end of an Italian meal.

Luckily for me (and the people of Edinburgh), the @fresca_edinburgh tiramisu is perfection. The flavours and layers are crafted flawlessly to make you feel like you're enjoying this dessert treasure in Italy itself. Next time, I'll be ordering two. ~Jess

📍Biarritz, France⠀
A beautiful day here in Biarritz and made even better with my lovely lunch from @lepimpibistrot ☀️⠀
⠀
My starter was a nice and chilled creamy zucchini soup with confit piquillos, chorizo bites and chorizo sauce on the bottom! This was a 10/10 👌🏼⠀
⠀
The main was the fish of the day and creamy purée of celery with vanilla (so good!) and topped off with fresh green peas. It just keeps getting better 😋⠀
⠀
As for dessert, I demolished the cream pastry with mango and passion fruit sauce 😝⠀
⠀
Absolutely beautiful meal for 22€! Do order the day before by texting Manu or Fanny 📱 They also offer charcuterie and cheese platters for apero time or your picnic by the water 😉 - Lili⠀

📌Edinburgh, Scotland
A little while back, I saw that @ottolenghi shared on his account a recipe for a flourless coconut cake and I instantly knew I had to get in on this baking game.

I decided to make cupcakes rather than a loaf purely for portion control reasons. It's way easier to measure consumption in cupcakes than it is in loaf slices. And I knew I'd need self-control measures here.

Well, they are indeed INCREDIBLE. Like seriously one of the best cakes I've made in a while. Like eat 4 on the first day good (disclaimer: I slowed down on subsequent days out of necessity).
.
The coconut flavour is so rich and the texture is - yes I'm gonna say it - moist. Even after three days in a Tupperware, the texture and flavour lasted really well. I topped them with a coconut cream chocolate ganache for a little extra something something. I've been encouraging others to make it too and I'll definitely be making them again! ~Jess

📌A taste of Tallinn in Edinburgh
Back in October, I took a trip to Tallinn, Estonia and visited @chocokoo_chocolates, a local chocolate shop. I was utterly charmed by the owner Kristel, her love for chocolate, and the immense quality of her products (there's a blog post about Chocokoo on the website). Ahead of my birthday in April, I contacted Kirstel to see if she'd be able to send some of her gorgeous chocolates to Edinburgh. Well Kristel took the risk and I'm happy to say that they survived the journey!

I am deeply in love with these chocolates. The flavours are so rich and vibrant and the chocolate is so smooth and creamy. Kristel has truly perfected how to create such fruity and zingy fillings in aesthetically vivid shapes and colours.

Every time I ate one of these, I did it in silence and without distraction so that I could fully appreciate the flavour of each one. They are easily the best chocolates I've had the pleasure and luck to enjoy. Words can never do these chocolate gems justice.

Whenever travel reopens and if you find yourself in Tallinn, I implore you to visit Chocokoo for the most remarkable chocolate experience. I secretly want to do a chocolate apprenticeship at Chocokoo so I can be around these edible jewels daily. Thank you, Kristel, for your creations! ~Jess

After seeing multiple mentions of the @alisoneroman caramelized shallot pasta recipe, I had to give it a go myself.

This recipe far exceeded expectations. With such simple ingredients - tomato paste, shallots, garlic, anchovies, olive oil, and fresh parsley - this dish managed to severely impress me! I could. not. get. enough.

A major perk is that the caramelized shallot paste is for two hearty portions so you can keep half in a jar for a later pasta craving (see last photo). And if you're anything like me, you'll make the second portion a few days after the first, completely over-eat the pasta, get a mild achy food baby, but happily do it all again because this dish is too good. ~Jess

Side note: I know there's discussion about some of Roman's recent comments, but this post is all about the food and I gotta give this recipe credit.

The weather has been steadily getting warmer and it’s been making me crave for seafood 😛 Luckily @lacabaneahuitres is open for take away and you can get an assortment of fresh seafood platters! They are partnering with their next door neighbour Laketua Restaurant and if you so please, they can whip you up à côte de bœuf cooked on coals with some roasted potatoes! ⠀
⠀
Tonight I simply ordered two sets of L’Assiette de l’écailler which consists of a platter of 6 Marenne d’Oléron fine de Claires #3 oysters, 4 organic shrimps and 4 sea snails + a dozen of the same oysters! The oysters were splendidly sweet and juicy! 👌🏼👌🏼⠀
⠀
Delivery within the area is also available but do call ahead for your orders 📞 - Lili⠀
