Synonymous with thoughts of Italy are the thoughts of rich, decadent desserts, like panna cotta! Wouldn't you agree?
Panna cotta, coming from the Italian for "cooked cream", is a deliciously simple and creamy Italian dessert. The beauty of this dessert is that, even though it is so simple, it embodies a richness and decadence that is the perfect finishing touch to the meal.
And we'd like to think that panna cotta is the perfect metaphor of the authentic Italian experience: simple, fresh ingredients that together create that gioia di vivere so natural to Italians!
That perfect blend of cream, sugar, and vanilla flavours, panna cotta is a delicious culinary experience your taste buds are craving to have! ;)

Indulge yourself & stay cool with these tasty & refreshing Italian treats!
It's incredible to think that we are already halfway through this summer. For those of you who were able to get away for the August Long Weekend, we hope you had a relaxing getaway.
Unfortunately for most, it's back to reality this week even though the sun is still shining and the weather has remained hot. Personally, I think that this reality check of ours calls for a tasty treat or two - especially treats of the cold or frozen variety! Below are some ideas we came up with that we thought could help cool you down when you're not hard at work at your desk. ;)
- Indulge in an Italian soda: an easy and refreshing drink to make at home or grab on your lunch break, this fizzy concoction is made with carbonated water and flavoured syrup.
- Put your espresso on ice: re-energize on your break and head back to the office feeling cooled off and ready for those afternoon meetings.
- Make your own gelato: a fun weekend activity, especially with small kids! If you're not into the amount of work it takes though, you can always head down and visit us for some gelati or sorbetti!
