"Going bananas So what is it about this classic dessert that lights up our eyes like a kid on Christmas eve, maybe it is the simplicity, the comfort it gives us or that delectable smell. I like to put a twist on the classics so I might substitute the raisins with dried cranberry, add some , Grand Marnier, banana rum or Cointreau to the mix or use challa or brioche instead of white bread."

We are a husband and wife team - Chef/Restauranteurs, and besides running our restaurant, we love to share our recipes and relay in our blog the food trends, restaurants, service (good, bad and indifferent)from our personal point of view. We also expound on trips and voyages taken with friends, family and spouse, while single and married, for business and pleasure, from gravelly paths to super highways, in 2 seater planes and 200 seat jumbo jets. We travelled first class, business class, economy, tourist, via train, bus, bike, moped, car and on foot, from the backroads to the tourist attractions. Remarkable small villages of ancestors and relatives to monstrous traffic- laden cities. We will attempt to remember what we loved and what we disliked, whether sitting at a cafe in the piazza, drinking our longo or in a lounge chair, on the beach with Pina Colada in hand, and everything in between. So join us on our blog as we rediscover the sites, both popular and unknown, inked into our memories as a batik cloth.
