Room for Dessert - Food Blog

Last post I wrote about the cookie game we’ve played on Purim at the Israeli food forum I’m a member of, and I told you about the gift I sent. And now you just have to see the absolutely awesome gift I’ve got!
First of all it was from Sivan (she was the one that gave me the wonderful recipe of the yeast cake), a very talented friend of mine from the forum, whom I admire since I’ve entered this wonderful world of baking. She had a big role in my starting to bake. On my first days on the forum, I’d watch her magnificent photo gallery of all the mouth watering creations she prepared and I always thought “Man, how I’d love to taste those, and I’d give anything to be able to make beautiful things as she does”. Now, a year later, I still drool on the wonderful things she makes, and she has been a role model for me ever since.

I was sooo happy to find out that she was the one that sent me the gift!! Can you imagine, I can finally get to taste Sivan’s goodies! And they were everything I imagined, and more! She sent me:
- Wonderful macarons! It was the first time she made them ever, and look how perfect they are!
- Dreamy alfajores! They were perfect - the dough simply melted in my mouth.
- Wonderful flat cookies with pistachios - as soon as Avi laid his hands on them, he didn’t leave them alone, he absolutely fell in love with them!
- Great filo wrapped nuts cookies.
- Very rich chocolate cookies.

Dear Sivan, we enjoyed your cookies all week long, they were all absolutely perfect! We really want to thank you a lot for the wonderful wonderful gift!
