Classic Tiramisu

After a leisurely Italian-inspired dinner with good conversation, a glass of wine still lingering on the table, and the remains of pasta dishes slowly disappearing, tiramisu feels like the only appropriate finale. It’s elegant without being fussy, rich without being heavy, and somehow manages to feel both indulgent and impossibly light at the same time.

Lemon Cream Semifreddo

So what’s a “semifreddo” anyway? It actually means “half-cold” and it’s basically a frozen mousse that originated in Italy. And it’s amazingly delicious, especially on a hot summer Alabama day. This recipe comes from the February 2023 issue of Food & Wine magazine.
