Italian Party

ITALIAN PARTY

  This Birthday I decided to have an Italian Party.
For the past year or so my family have been getting together every couple of months
with a group of friends and we have been having International Dinners.
We try our hand at cooking different cuisines from around the globe.
In this particular instance some of the foods are authentic and others are a fun party take
on what is traditionally known as Italian.

Tomato Macarons - Flavoured with Chocolate Ganache
and Salted Caramel.

 I have started with Dessert for this Blog post.
I couldn't help myself as it is my favourite part of the meal.
