Porcelain Birds By Andrea

Japanese style cheescake

do not know if it is understood, but lately are for things simple and, above all, fast. These short and easy recipes never cease to amaze: always a great success and the time for use in making them is minimal. And who says no, then? Whether in making them, which in sampling! But I have planned the recipes a bit 'more laborious, than those that make you feel their breath until the servants in the dishes. Of those who, despite being long, you put all your effort to not miss the slightest step, because they are just like those in photo. Of course, being a bit 'more complicated do not really know when I can propose it, although it is a simple tart made with pastry that is not certain, however, a joke, he need have rest in refrigerator and in the meantime ... time passes! Perhaps, when it begins to make more cold and will go home happy on Sunday afternoon (which I also love!), I will propose it.
Today I propose this sweet Japanese that I have prepared over the weekend but will post only now because the computer did not work for a few days. The recipe comes from the blog "Babette's Feast" is delicious and perfect for breakfast or a snack. A hug!
