Great flavors





 I bough the first freesias of the season. Were so cute and colorful that I have to share with you. Freesias are a clear sign that spring is very close

It is no secret to you, my preference for sour tastes. One of my  favorite combinations is combine a sour taste with chocolate
 I love strawberries with chocolate, lemon and passion fruit with chocolate too



After getting a passion fruit, which itself is not an easy task here, expected to mature, and finally
I could give the pleasure of drinking its delicious juice and  also made passion fruit mousse, one of my favorites, for its freshness.





With the mousse  leftovers I bake ​​a chocolate cake using this recipe and I put the mousse as a icing, which is the same recipe that you used for any fruit mousse. The only different thing to do is put the seeds of passion fruit in the blender with a little water and strain.

Another flavor I like, and much, is ginger, I use it a lot, both sweet and savory in. I have wanted to make some gingersnaps, which I tried on my very first time  in London. These are quite similar and are super easy to make












Hope you like it as much as we liked  here at home. Have a wonderful week.
