Yesterday I departed my 30s. I haven't been too stressed from an "Oh my god I'm 40" perspective, but I thoroughly enjoyed my 30s so I am sad to see them go.
To start my birthday, I made these cherry ricotta fritters. It's a half-quantity of Nigella's Baci di Ricotta recipe, made with really lovely buffalo ricotta, and given an extra kick with a handful of cherries, which I put down in booze a month ago. The cherries did make the fritters a weird colour, but they were absolutely delicious and very moreish. The scattering of icing sugar really freaked out my camera though.
These look sensational! And happy birthday to you!! xxx
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh - these look amazing. With cherry season literally just around the corner, I'm bookmarking these to try.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I forgot to say Happy Birthday
