Croissants...first attempt...ACTION!!!

I had never felt confident enough to  make this particular  dough and in facts it is not easy to do and not quick but I believe it is only a question of getting used it and you' d find yourself improving time after time... 
Anyway I couldn't ask more than what I have got!!! Simply delicious, almost perfect...I mean according to my taste, according to the way a croissant should taste for me...
 They haven't the same shape intentionally as I tried to use any bit of the dough and I left them plain as I wanted to taste them like this the fist time...

Pannacotta with Strawberry Caramel...

sauce...
...my Granny Maria's favourite! She would die for this creamy dessert...with the scent of lemon and kumquat zest and the velvety strawberry caramel spiced with cardamom and pink pepper...
I admit this is a lovely dessert especially after a nice Saturday dinner together with Her, my beloved Granny Maria!
