Noteworthy Episodes

One of the most memorable episodes of the show has been shared here. The episode titled ‘ Drop Dead Gorgeous holiday Desserts ’ shows an amazing Pumpkin Torte recipe. The torte has a cookie crust base with a pumpkin custard filling and topped with a bitter sweet ganache. The same episode caters to both an expert baker and a not-so-expert baker.
