Goat cheese-stuffed zucchini blossoms
Gianduja (hazelnut chocolate) budino
Week night dinner sesh with my old college roomies. A couple weeks ago, Amina invited Dani and me over for paella night. Amina’s an ah-maaaazing cook. Those fried zucchini blossoms of hers were to die for!! For dessert, I made gianduja budino, a rich, creamy hazelnut chocolate pudding, topped with condensed milk and a crispy-crunch-milk-chocolate-nougat candy bar I picked up at a Brazilian market on Venice Blvd. We ate, drank wine and cracked each other up all night long. So good to catch up with my girls.
