Scented saffron pear panna cotta with rasperries gelatin and berries

It be a long time that i prepared  any dessert but the other day seeing  Juliana's blog, who prepared a  wonderful trifle,has inspired me to make a dessert

I love saffron, love how its scent and color. Moreover is a very versatile  spice can be used in both  way sweet or savory.

I used saffron to cook the pears to enhance  a little the taste of the panna cotta, I was afraid that
the strong flavor of red fruits "kill" the flavor base. It was great.

I also bake, on last week end, some chocolate and walnut cookies, you can find the recipe here.

I had a plus help on my task, little hands helpme to make the cookies and eat it as well

 Last week end was great, we had warm temperatures, high for the parameters of the month . 

So we woke up early and drove to Puert Madero to have breakfast. Delicious croissants,toasts and jam and cereals  with a good cafe latte of course.

 On the afternoon we ate cookies and drink juice as a afternoon snack, outside on the patio. We also ate some blueberrries that left. Were delicious and very sweet  

I hope you like this suggestion for dessert, which can be used to treat friends or impressed her husband in a romantic night. Have a great weekend.
