Now that Christmas and New Year’s are behind us, it is time to start thinking about Valentine’s Day, right? Well, a great way to get in the lovely dovey spirit are these European marzipan recipes from Odense Marcipan, a company that the great grandfather of the Valley’s own Charlotte Wetche founded in Denmark in 1909. (Tammie Coe is a big fan of Odense Marcipan.) Wetche was kind enough to share three tasty Valentine’s Day-friendly recipes using the traditional marzipan.
