A Christmas Special! This episode/class can help you prep for the Holidays with a beautiful Butternut Squash Soup and the classic, rich & creamy, Tiramisu. Both dishes can be made ahead or the morning of your event and can be scaled up easily to feed a full house of hungry guests!

Fall in a bowl - pumpkin or squash soup would make a perfect dish to add to your Holiday dinner or even lunch on a random rainy afternoon. Since you can cook it off a day or 2 before, it makes for one less thing to do on Christmas Day! This soup has become a tradition in our house - it’s so creamy & delicious. If you want to make this simple soup a bit more decadent add a few steamed mussels just before you serve. (This recipe may not from Le Marche, but the pumpkins and squash are from the garden & it’s too good not to share!)

One of the most requested recipes to feature, Tiramisu. This is the real deal. Tiramisu can be a boozy, mushy mess and nothing I would ever want to eat. However this recipe is lick-your-plate amazing! So what’s the difference in the dish served at restaurants State-side vs. that of Italy? First off the eggs - this recipe calls for fresh egg yolks not whipped cream or imitation eggs making it much richer and secondly it’s all in the lady-fingers! (Buy Pavisini.) They perfectly hold up after being dipped in coffee & layered with cream.

Tiramisu literally translates to “pick me up” and it sure does with all the coffee, eggs & sugar. Great for dessert and devilishly delicious for breakfast, what with coffee & eggs, why not?! We serve this every Thursday at our Pizza Night Parties.
