Tiramisu recipe from Rustico! This is by far one of my all time favorite desserts on the face of the earth!

  • 2-3 cups espresso coffee, cooled to room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons Tia Maria or other coffee flavored liqueur
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 1 ⁄2 cup caster sugar
  • 250 grams mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 250 grams ladyfingers
  • cocoa powder

Put the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl. Beat with electric mixer until the mixture is pale and thick. Add mascarpone and beat until combined. Whip the cream until stiff peaks hold, and fold gently into the egg mixture.

Beat the egg whites to soft peaks in a clean metal bowl. Fold the whites into the cream while retaining as much air as possible.

Combine coffee and liqueur into a large shallow dish. Break the ladyfingers into pieces that will fit in your glasses, and dip them into the coffee mixture one at a time. Drain well.

Alternate 4 layers in the glasses beginning with ladyfingers, and topping with cream mixture. Smooth surfaces and dust with cocoa. Refrigerate at least two hours before serving.

A Tribute to Audrey Hepburn

20 Years After Her Passing

“I believe in Pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.”

–Audrey Hepburn

The William Paca House & Garden in Annapolis is a National Historic Landmark, restored by Historic Annapolis to its colonial-era splendor. The house is one of America’s most impressive restored 18th Century  mansions. When built by Paca in 1763-65, it was one of the first five-part Georgian homes in Annapolis.

The William Paca Garden is two acres of natural beauty in the heart of historic Annapolis. It is filled with plants of the 18th Century known from books and letters.

Multi-tier terraces define the garden. The upper terrace provides a space for entertaining and viewing the garden terrain. On the middle terrace, precise geometric parterres show off three seasons of colorful blooms, heirloom roses and period-styled topiary. The lower terraces feature a fish-shaped pond, whose bridge leads to a two story summer house, plus serpentine paths through lush lawns and beds of native plants.
