What's your favourite dessert?
Tiramisu used to be my favourite dessert, until I went to the tiny fishing village of Nesso on Lake Como. We stayed in an AirBnB and the host 'Ms. Laura' had a 'restaurant' in her garden serving 3 tables. It's not on Google Maps, you just have to text her to get a table. Anyway, the dessert was a tiramisu, and it was so good that I can no longer order tiramisu in other restaurants because, by comparison, they are mediocre at best. So, my favourite dessert is now: Ms Laura's tiramisu
