Resistance is futile when it comes to this black forest tiramisu. Voluptuous vanilla mascarpone cream, dark chocolate ganache and sweet cherries. How can it not be good? Tiramisu in Italian means pick me up and that, it certainly will. I've taken the liberty of using this delectable Italian dessert and given it a German-inspired spin. Currently, this is my favourite dessert, until next week, because as you know, food bloggers affections shift quickly. We're very easily distracted by irresistible must makes recipes. If you close your eyes and imagine the best Black Forest cake you've ever had and merge it with that memorable Tiramisu you demolished at Uncle Luigi's wedding, this will be the result. Layers of whipped mascarpone and vanilla cream, Marsala-coffee soaked Savoiardi biscuits with pockets of chocolate ganache. My work here is done! Best dessert ever and it's flop-proof. Tiramisu benefits from being made the day ahead as the flavour improves overnight, making it the ideal dessert for stress-free dinner parties. It's the ultimate crowd pleaser. A note on Tiramisu - As it contains raw egg, do not serve to the elderly or pregnant. Yes, this isn't fair, but as my history teacher used to say, life's not fair! Buy the best quality free-range eggs you can, close one eye and just do it. I'll take my chances. If you're looking to host a thoroughly Italian feast, here are a couple of spectacularly good dishes to have on your table. My menu for National Italian day has everything from antipasti to dolci. Check it out here. Also not to be missed for during our chilly SA winters is this rustic Tuscan farro and bean soup. It's simple, yet soulful. BK Handy hints for best results: Use best quality, free-range eggs. Ensure that the mascarpone and double cream are at room temperature. Fridge cold will prevent even incorporation. Whisk the egg whites in a clean, grease-free bowl. Amarena cherries are optional, but well worth including. Marsala is a sweet, fortified wine but can be substituted with Sherry or Kirsch, for an authentic Black Forest taste. Freshly brewed coffee is best.     Black Forest Tiramisu Serves 10-12

No visit to New York City is complete without stopping at Yonah Schimmel’s Knish Bakery on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, where they have been selling knishes since 1890. And they even have vegan ones! At one time, knisheries could be found all over the city, from Coney Island in Brooklyn to Forest Hills in Queens. Even though they never made it as big as bagels, knishes are a quintessential New York food. Try them with a schmear of brown mustard for the truly authentic New York City knish experience. And FYI, the “k” in “knish” is not silent.

So what is this not so little cake like? Amazingly it is very good. It is a savoury cake with a hint of sweetness and the curry works beautifully with the feta. If anything for the ext time I would be inclined to add even more of the luscious herbed feta. It's really best eaten on the day that it is made, this is not a loaf that keeps for days so I think a picnic with lots of attendees would be the ideal occasion for this.
