Zabaglione is an Italian dessert You will savour every spoonful Xanthic in colour a delightful creamy yellow Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a bowl over barely simmering water until Velvety in texture Use an electric whisk it – it could take up to 15 minutes Take three tablespoons of Prosecco wine and pour this into the mixture Save the rest to drink later!!!! Resume whisking until it’s soft and fluffy Quickly remove the bowl from over the hot water and Place it in a bowl of cold water or on a cold surface Oh no – time for more whisking until its cool Now you need to whisk the whipping cream My goodness this is hard work - but it is worth the effort Lightly fold the cream into the egg mixture, hopefully the Kitchen doesn’t look like a bombsite – phew! Just a couple more steps to do and then Italian Zabaglione will be tickling your taste buds Have two tall glasses ready Gently pour the dessert into them Fill them right to the top of the glass Every spoonful will be delicious Decorate your dessert Chocolate shavings can be added as a garnish Bon Appetite! All you need to do now is wash the dishes Contest: First Ever ZXY Sponsor: John Lawless 10~07~15

An HM isn't technically a 'win' .. but as long as my poem gets more exposure and is read then I'm happy:-) hugs jan xx

I hope you're happy Jan, you just blew about 1500 diets.....This is a really unique take on the contest, smooth flowing, with great texture and body. After judging this contest I may have to go into hiding.

You did good. I can't get over it. The soup is literally now the cooking channel with a twist, and you even through in the yolks!

I love cooking - simple home made foods nothing too fancy. I used to bake a lot but now my son is at university I don't bother so much. The odd thing is I do not make pancakes - yet more memories from food:-) hugs jan xx

wow, Jan, this is REALLY good. I don't know why, but people seem to be doing better quality poems in this form by doing the letters backwards. I just love yours.

I started to do one about animals then changed my idea and this simply flowed after I found the z and x words to fit together and make sense. I don't envy John at all I've seen such creativity for this particular form:-) hugs jan xx
