I've just been watching "Everyday Italian' with Giada Delaurentiis. I love her food. Everything looks super easy and delicious. I want to make both of these now but I'm doing a food detox; no wheat, no booze etc so I'm putting the links here so I don't forget them in the future.

Both take no time at all, the crostini has my favorite stuff on it, parma ham, mozzarella and melted sage butter. Devine. Not really a recipe but I just want to remember it. Picture makes it look disgusting but I was drooling watching it being made. The chocolate mousse has a orange mascapone cream on top. Great flavour combo. Here they are:

Mandarin Oriental, Chocolate

I still have to post some pictures from my trips to HK and Mexico, but I just found this chocolate sculpture from the delicious cafe at the Mandarin Oriental in HK. Yum
