Here’s the first installment of “Inside the Despana Basket”: an almond torta, kind of like an almond brittle, wrapped in a nice box, perfect for a gift.
The almonds from Spain seem to be rounder than what we get here and desserts from other countries are usually less sweet than they are here too. That’s why I love foreign desserts. This one has the air of being a sophisticated adult dessert, there’s even edible paper on both sides, which keeps your hands from getting sticky. It’s a perfect treat to have with coffee.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! It looks like you had an AMAZING time on your honeymoon. Thanks for sharing as much as you did!
Grace, I miss Europe! sob….
