Pistachio Rose Bliss Balls

I was at a meeting the other day and my friend Isabel brought along some pears poached in rose water. They were divine. I was hoping she would post the recipe so I could share it here and to my delight I’ve just discovered that she has (you will find it here). Whilst eating more than my fair […]
