Bonet is a typical dessert from Piedmont, with a very strong cocoa, amaretti, and rhum taste, which can definitely warm you up in the coldest nights. As it is not winter yet, I decided to give it a twist, by using some pumpkin puree and pumpkin spices. A perfect treat for an autumn night.
September form me means just one thing: pumpkin. I can’t lie. Pumpkins are my favourite ever vegetable and I could it it in any way possible. I believe its sweet taste perfectly pairs with any either sweet or savoury preparation, thus you’ll see me preparing quite a lot of pumpkin-related goodies in this period. I’m just waiting for my pumpkin to transform into a carriage!
“I’d say the first thing you need is … a pumpkin.”

I do have a scientific mind, probably it’s the reason why I love to hide in the kitchen and start creating.
