Spain Dessert – Crema Catalana
For our Spanish dessert, Crema Catalana caught our eye. It is essentially a firm custard, with a burnt sugar crust on top, so gave us a great excuse to buy a blowtorch! This is definitely one we will be making again, as it keeps really well too. A lot of the ingredients needed for this…

Italy Dessert – Tiramisu
Sticking with the theme of classic Italian dishes, we had to round up the week with tiramisu! A combo of coffee, rum, chocolate and sponge, this was an easy choice!
