What Pizzerias the Gossip Girls and Boys Would Frequent
Thanks Adam! I haven't eaten a "great" pizza in Manhattan yet, so am looking for suggestions.
Is Panettone the New Fruitcake?
@mh330 - No, not really like Challah. It's more like a Brioche, but it has a distinct flavour, not sure of what, but it does not taste like bread.

Seriously Italian: Almond Olive Oil Cake for Valentine's Day
I've had this cake and it is amazing (not this actual recipe, but an almond olive oil cake).
Thanks for sharing the recipe, will definitely try it out!

Ha! I thought I was the only one who watched Gossip Girl!
Now, I have a question - where would someone go for the best pizza in Manhattan?
Is Panettone the New Fruitcake?
This is huge in Brazil, we also get chocolate Panettone (chocolate drops instead of the fruit).
I prefer the Pandoro, like rosso99, we have that in Brazil too, but mostly during Easter for some reason!
'Gossip Girl' Names Favorite Hot Chocolate
Gossip Girl has good taste, that's for sure!
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 43: A Thanksgiving Pardon
I'll be jumping on the scale on Sunday so I have two days to redeem myself, but it still takes courage. You'll see that those two pounds will come off really easily!
I read Pioneer Woman's site and am yet to try one of her recipes, they all look so good!

This is something I will try. I also love bitter greens. Thanks for sharing!
Seriously Italian: Almond Olive Oil Cake for Valentine's Day
Gina!
First, let me say that I'm in awe of your talent and skill! I am not a professional baker, just someone who absolutely loves to make treats for her friends, family, and the occasional stranger. I really appreciate not just good food, but food that's made sincerely and from the heart. I have to say, and believe me when I say I'm not exaggerating, that *this* cake is one of the very best I've ever made. I cannot believe how flavorful it was! It was just the epitome of what a cake should be and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing it with us. If all of the recipes in your cookbook are as good as this one, I'm in big trouble!
I posted my experiences with making your cake on my blog, just in case you're interested. :)
Your newest fan!

Seriously Italian: Almond Olive Oil Cake for Valentine's Day
Everyone, I am so glad you are making the cake and loving it! It disappeared pretty fast at my house too!
@newyorkbaker, I don't have my own recipe for cannoli, but I really like the one in Mario's book, Holiday Food. I made the cannoli that are pictured in the book, and they were pretty wonderful.
As audrasena said, the orange juice in the recipe is primarily to add moisture, not orange flavor. I sometimes use oj when developing a recipe instead of milk, which contributes protein and changes the texture.
Seriously Italian: Almond Olive Oil Cake for Valentine's Day
I, too, made this cake this weekend for a dinner party. It was the hit and beat out a chocolate flourless cake for the best dessert. It was easy to make and tastes good for breakfast the next day. OJ flavor didn't really come through at all. YUM!
Seriously Italian: Almond Olive Oil Cake for Valentine's Day
I, too, made this cake last night for an Oscar party and it disappeared. Perfectly moist, not too sweet. Such a simple recipe, I will make this again very soon.
Seriously Italian: Almond Olive Oil Cake for Valentine's Day
I made the cake last night. My goodness, it was very delicious and beautifully subtle. It disppeared within a few hours. Gina, thank you so much for the pleasure you've given me with this new recipe and absolutely, your masterpiece Dolce Italiano. Gina, do you have a recipe for cannoli?
Seriously Italian: Almond Olive Oil Cake for Valentine's Day
mmm, I like cakes with sliced almonds on top. this looks good!
I recently made an olive oil-almond cake with lots of orange zest and a bit of orange juice. I think the fruitiness of the extra virgin olive oil goes really well with orange.
Seriously Italian: Almond Olive Oil Cake for Valentine's Day
Thank you, Gina, for another delicious recipe! I love Greek Mythology (and almonds), but did not know about Phyllis and Demophoon. How sad!
Welcome home and wishing you good health. -Jill-

How the heck did this post gross you out? About a cake and some Greek Mythology?

I'm not a prude, but this post kind of grossed me out. Hmmm, maybe I am a prude.

Chocolate mousse with orange. :)
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Edible Chocolate Box from Charles Chocolates
Wow, picking *one* chocolate dessert is hard! But I guess I'd have to go with brownies. By themselves they're fabulous and even a not so great brownie is usually pretty okay. Heat it and put some ice cream on top and it becomes even more fabulous!
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Edible Chocolate Box from Charles Chocolates
Brownie on the bottom, topped with vanilla ice cream, then another brownie on top, hot fudge topping all over the brownie and ice cream, and of course whipped cream and a cherry on top! :)

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Edible Chocolate Box from Charles Chocolates
My very favorite chocolate cake is the one my mother-in-law use to make me. It was the recipe off the Hershey's cocoa box.It had carmel icing and
it was delicious. But, anything chocolate will do!!
