Cantucci

One of my favorite desserts from Italy is Cantucci with Vin Santo. It is a simple serving of a couple of cantucci (which is almond biscotti) with the sweet Italian spirit vin Santo. The spirit is called holy wine as it is the exact same type of wine used in Catholic mass to consecrate Christ' body in bread and wine ritual.

I love the fact that cantucci is storing well, especially in the humid Singapore weather. A bag of cantucci di mandorla that we bought from train station in Venice taste so good, in November, a full 3 months since the end of our vacation. Ahhh, the sweet taste of Italian holiday right at home.

Let’s bake!

Divine chocolate

Here is my new favorite chocolate bar, Cafe Liegenois Noir by Galler bought in Brussels.

Guide of buying chocolate
To choose a high quality chocolate bar, please check the list of ingredients. In this case, the dark chocolate bar has cocoa mass, listed as first ingredient, followed by sugar. Watch out for that because I have encountered numerous chocolate bar where sugar is the main ingredients. :(
