Ingredients - eggs, sugar, flour, butter and one Mario Lanza!



Mario Lanza has become an essential ingredient in my baking. I pop on my pinny and rev up the mixer with his “Because You’re Mine” caressing my ears while I croon around the kitchen lost in the spirit of the 1950s. Mario does it for me every time. I’m sure the eggs and sugar fluff up better, the flour feels softer and the butter gleams in the kitchen spotlights with extra lustre because he is with me. Mario puts me in a mellow mood, the Hollywood orchestrations that encase his beautiful hearty tenor voice sparkle with such glitz and schmaltzy romance that I find I’m lost in a world where he is singing only to me... and my cake!


Who or what do you listen to in the kitchen while you bake?
