We save up our pennies and travel to Italy as often as we can (which isn't nearly enough these days). It was in Italy that we first experienced Torta della Nonna at one of our favorite Tuscan pizzarias, Da Michele in Radda. Torta della Nonna means Grandma's cake and each region in Italy has their own twist on this delicious dessert.
Our friends Amy and Jesse invited us over for dinner and I talked Amy into letting me bring dessert and used it as an excuse to try the Torta della Nonna in the Marths Stewart Baking cookbook (and get another recipe tack as part of our Martha Stewart Baking project).
I have to say, I didn't love this version - hence I am not posting the recipe. Da Michele's is much more elegant and not cream filled. A more viable option if you want a great Torta della Nonna is the one at Via Tribunali in Seattle - they do a tasty version that is the next best option outside of Italy.
