Always happy to help when I can! :)
Which recipes are you specifically
refering to?
Don't forget that when making some pastries
ice-cold butter (as opposed to room temp)
is the way to get flaky excellence!
Let me know if I can help you…

- Thank you so much for your help. I am so excited to make this for my husband. He misses his mothers cooking so much. I hope one day to visit his home to cook with his mother.

- Well, it would be good if they were any where along the Mediterranean , I am looking at your profile and seems as if you might have a few. You know I call it Mediterranean because, I really want to keep the politics out of food and cooking. I think there is a lot to be shared in the food.
