Dinner with Giada

I cracked open Giada's cookbook this morning for some inspiration. She hasn't failed us in the past.

So I made a list and checked it twice!

Some appies to start with... grilled ciabatta bread topped with ricotta cheese, fresh mint, tomato and oregano.

Followed by almond-crusted salmon on puff pastry with pesto and tomatoes.

But honestly... I admit I saved room for dessert...

Chocolate cake with mascarpone icing and sugar hazelnut shards.

I promise to only have one piece.

Well, maybe one tomorrow too.

But not the next day, I swear.
