I have a tried and tested recipe that calls for savoiardi biscuits, sweetened coffee and yet more sugar in the egg [...]

I love old stuff. Kitchenalia and household items really tickle my fancy. There’s something about owning things that had a previous life with someone else that speaks to me. Some things are used in ways that they were intended but other things, like the wooden spools in the picture, get used in new ways. Instead of thread wound [...]
