Like most of us, the first culinary memories are tied to the flavors of the mother.
's joy when we found the pancakes for a snack of apples, or the scent of Christmas cookies, or that horrible pink dog made cook to prepare the jam.
But the first visual memories are certainly related to the books of Betty Bossi. The mother had a collection! I remember one in particular, had some amazing cakes on the cover, and as they were in German, I dreamed of one day being able to read for learn how to make these masterpieces. The books are eventually passed on to me, and last year I decided to buy two new ones. One is called "in der Backen Weihnachtszeit" contains the perfect recipe for this period. Sweets, biscuits, Gugelhopf, etc..
