If you made it this far let's lighten things up from the greyscale with a nice Italian desert offering. Any of you Italy experts know what this is?

    Looks like that dessert has dark chocolate on it, but aside from that, I can’t name it.

    Terrific, poetic photo essay – very enjoyable and with out those needless calories.

    That dessert looks delicious, like many good Italian foods, it starts with good ingredients (for 4 persons):

    150 gms torrone
    1 egg white
    100 gms sugar
    200 gms cream to whip
    2 tbsp toasted hazelnuts, chopped
    1 pinch salt

    made with one of the most popular Italian Christmas sweets: torrone
