This weeks theme, Oranges... to my daughters great disappointment I realised early on that I did not feel like making a dessert
I am so happy with how my idea turned out ... one thing is toying with the combinations in my head ... another thing is seeing them on the finished plate ....as usual I had this beauty of a dish all to myself ...lol ...Here in cold grey and rainy Copenhagen for a little while it felt like summer ......
