I could eat scones every other day and to be honest, we’re having them three or four times a week now – for the third week in a row.

But what would you say, if I offered a different kind of pesto, one with a fairly unusual main ingredient?

This sweet sin has the power to convert even the most persistent chocolate and caramel haters into the opposite.

I have become so hooked on these little Italian dumplings with the velvet-like texture, that I have to have them every other week. Last week my addiction kicked in at 9.30 pm… and a good hour later I sat in front of a plate of steaming hot gnocchi with browned pine nut butter.
