Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. ― Aristotle
I love panna cotta. I love making panna cotta. Panna cotta - cooked cream in Italian - was also the kind of thing that had always seemed terrifyingly difficult to make, and I never dared try. Until we ordered one in a restaurant in France (after having moved back after 7 years living in Italy) and it was rubbery. Or floury. One or the other was how we often got them in French restaurants back then. Once too often disappointed. And I said “hmmmm maybe I should try to make it? I’m sure I could do better than this.” And when my husband agreed, I decided to give it my best.
