Pumpkin tarte or pumpkin pie !

 

It’s a tarte or a pie? I don’t know. Its not a long time that I discovered this cake, someone told me that is very popular in U.S. during thanksgiving period, and even if I don’t celebrate it because I’m Italian I love to bake some special U.S. food:)

Its tasty, delicately spiced with cinnamon, ginger and cloves, but sweet like a pumpkin, I added a personal touch.. a spoon of mascarpone, is it allowed?

Pumpkin cupcake with mascarpone frosting

rose loukoum

My turkish sister sent me this sweet box full of rose loukoum, the turkish  jelly candy made with fresh rose water. Turkish roses are so famous, they use it to prepare jam, syrup, loukoum.. if you travel to magic town of Istanbul don’t miss this ancient loukoum shop.. its just great!

Double chocolate cookies

 

This cookie is so good! Between crunchy and softy, melty and spongy you can’t really resist! Non dico che lo farai innamorare con questi biscottoni.. ma se non altro ti seguirà fino a quando non li avrà mangiati tutti!
