best taste buddie :)

my friend jessica is a very good and soon-to-be world renowed chef (trust me, you’ll hear a lot from ms. graham…). and i feel (very) embarassed of posting food stuff here when i have a CHEF friend who also has a blog. hers, of course, is solely based on food, and she made a post just for me! :)
i feel really flattered – i’m very sweet toothed and my husband is at least three times worse. and desserts are REALLY hard to make; well, apart from brigadeiro and some other type of ”just throw everything into the pan and cook” food. she says it’s because you probably have to major in chemistry before trying to make any dish… since i flunked in chemistry in high school (actually i was caught cheating when i wasn’t actually cheating, i was covering for a friend who, yes, was cheating – and really bad at it, i might add – and i sucked at chemistry and would probably have flunked anyway, but that’s an entire different story, because i couldn’t end my exam cause “i was caught cheating”).
ANYWAY… chemistry isn’t one of my best, so desserts are difficult for me, okay? if you’re good at it, GOOD FOR YOU. you’ll probably die of diabetes and i’m better off at the end of the day… ha. yes, i’m jealous. and i’m bad when jealous. so what. a have a chef friend who dedicated a post on dessert just for me.
and she made the best dessert: tiramisù! i love coffee, i loooove when there’s liquor in desserts and i specially love when there’s chocolate involved! tiramisù ticks all the right boxes for me. it’s light and fluffy, it’s boozed up (so it makes everything and everyone more cheerful) and it goes well with your end-of-meal espresso because, well, it has coffee on it. and best of all, she says it’s the easiest dessert in the universe to make. well, i don’t count brigadeiro (and neither does she) cause, although being amazingly good, brigadeiro doesn’t impress anyone, people.
i can’t take the credit for this wonderful recipe and just post it here because:
- well, she’s my friend and i have some morals;
- she’s a wonderful cook and writer, so you should read her stuff and enjoy her dishes;
- she made the post for meeeeee! so you should go and read it anyway. :D
so, stop being a lazy ass and click here: http://thymetocrave.blogspot.com/2009/10/thyme-for-dessert.html. and no need to tell me that she’s awesome – i know. she’s my friend for a reason. :)
i’m planning on doing this recipe week – anyone in barcelona care to taste it?
a los de barcelona – intentaré hacer la receta de tiramisù que mi amiga jessica me ha dado esta semana. alguien interesado en probarla? :)
