March 30, 2021 by JennyEnter our US/UK/AU/NZ giveaway to win one of three copies of Torta della Nonna: A Collection of the Best Homemade Italian Desserts by Emiko Davies.
Torta della Nonna: The Best Italian Sweet Recipes is a collection of Emiko Davies’ desserts culled from her beautiful books Florentine (review), Acquacotta (one of my best books of 2017) and Tortellini at Midnight (review), plus five brand new recipes. Having all of Emiko’s sweet recipes in one beautiful volume is wonderful!
Our 
takes you inside the book and features the following 
- Apricot jam tart (Crostata di marmellata)
- Caramelised figs (Fichi canditi)
- Sweet deep-fried pastry (Cenci)
- Zuppa Inglese
- Plum sorbet (Sorbetto di susine)
Torta della Nonna begins with the author’s tips with regard to baking before heading into the over 60 recipes. The book is divided into chapters starting with the Essenziali (essentials) such as Crema pasticcera (Pastry cream) and Torta al cioccolato (Chocolate cake) and wraps up with Dolci gelati (frozen treats) with recipes for Gelato di riso (Rice gelato) and Granita al melone (Melon granita) as examples. In between these two chapters, there lies a treasure trove of tempting Italian desserts that are both approachable and impressive.
