i do give a fig...

went for a farewell lunch at pizza express in Soho (the jazz one) yesterday and had THE MOST DELICIOUS DESSERT i have ever tasted. it was a Dolcetti (mini dessert with coffee) called Caffe Reale which consisted of baby figs in cinnamon and white wine syrup with a delicious dollop of mascarpone...yummmmm...i am def going to replicate this at  home and have searched the internet for mini-figs...found these lovely ones from the bay tree so will be tracking them down soon...
