Rice Pudding

Don't you just love watching cooking shows? They have all those nifty products and gadgets. Every time I see something new, I wonder if that is the answer to the perfect dish. Sometimes it is. I've always wanted a quality set of copper cookware. It looks so shiny and pretty in all those TV kitchens. You just know that the perfect sauce would start with one of those pots.

My Mother had a trio of copper molds that hung on her kitchen wall for years. I always loved the little designs and marveled at the salads she would make in them. When I found ruffoni copper, I was instantly reminded of those lovely molds. In addition to copper cookware, ruffoni has a beautiful line of molds, including hearts. Just right for Valentine's Day!
