mousse di pere



All chocolate and pears is a classic forever. Perhaps because I am too classical in the kitchen :-) I shrink a bit 'from these couplings. But my friend Mafi, which is rather conservative in some respects, does not like the food too strange. And tomorrow we are to dine with her four friends always make fun of you, as always, and ask for the bill to Monica, interior designer (and I to laugh, and she knows why) that sells furniture, and she did not want him to give but in the end we will, only God knows when, and Ilaria new mother with babe at home she calls the magpie, which eventually will be home to review the Mafi bucolic hung, and I will take around because for years I called it off-key singing, feeling blue, but recently I had the proof that she is much more in tune me! So, at this dinner and combined into four quatt'otto, she, the hostess asked me, but a chocolate cake and pears do not know? Or a pear mousse you can not do? And the pears are in season now! He ran a time when between us was great, the Bavarian strawberries, but the envelopes, which Ilaria not stand still and take me around the Bavarian (with great reason) ... and a rice stracchino, defined by the hospital. We only had 25 years at the time, many laughs, how many labors on the books, but especially as many laughs. The university has joined us for life now. Thee gone well, Ilaria, strawberry season is now ... And then, Mafin, here contented! Of course, not knowing whether the outcome will be positive, I also made a tart with pears ... But without chocolate. Tomorrow or after the public as well!

Difference Between Genital Warts And Ppp

tea and chocolate chip cookies and smoked hazelnuts from the Langhe



A quick post, I have to go back to work and I expect a full day. First, good Monday! Today a proposal for fun and for me taste unusual. Saturday we were the art of receiving that, for those of Milan, is certainly the place known for tea and above all a great experience. Well, there I found only a part, infinitely small, I know of ways to use tea even food. And I tasted the delicious cookies and made small talk with Michael washes, shop manager of the shop, really nice. Among other things, I added the link to the left of even the cooking classes organized by the art of receiving, long-tea. I have translated my way these smoky oolong tea biscuits and nuts. The oolong tea is typical of China, and this guy I took it, Crocodile, it must be used in 2-3 grams per 150 ml of water at 90 degrees for 6 minutes.

for about 30 cookies


150 g butter 250 g flour 120 g

rice flour 60 g sugar 1 vanilla pod

a pinch of salt 1 egg

8 g Oolong tea smoked some
round hazelnut from the Langhe

Put in a mixer the butter, flour, sugar, vanilla bean seeds half crumbs, salt and blend until the butter has absorbed the flour. Add to that last egg, a few nuts and tea leaves. Take a ball and keep it in the fridge to rest an hour. Then flatten with a rolling pin to a height of nearly one cm and cut the molds that are going to cook on a preheated oven at 180 degrees until golden brown (about 15 minutes). The flavor is a bit 'unusual dell'affumicato release notes and toasted hazelnuts. I am liked.

deep purple



E Okay, I fall into the trap of trendy purple! Some that are not new, these purple potatoes, they had also made Sandra and Adrenaline , it is equally certain that a person who has a cooking blog would be curious to all food and try everything to appear before. I am exactly like that. When I am seen at the Vicenza, Gigi and Raffaella (greengrocers acute and sensitive) ... how can you resist? And why resist? After all, a kilo of potatoes it was. Simply chic in their shade purpurea. Inside and out. I believe these are from France that I took, and are the variety Vitelotte, also known as bleues truffles (truffles blue). No chemical processing, the color comes from a natural pigment, the anthocyanin, which is also pending in the violas, the skin of the eggplants.

I could indulge in any recipe, but time is what the is, they would say in Milan. I find it amazing the interpretation of Cerveni , I I've only done the simple gnocchi. I can not tell how many potatoes, quanta farina. Ho fatto ad occhio. Le patate assorbivano benissimo la farina, non ne è servita molta, devo dire. Li ho conditi con dei gamberetti, dei pomodorini tagliati fini e qualche dadino di pancetta affumicata fatti rosolare in un goccio d'olio con uno spicchio d'aglio. Poi, per completare la cena in viola, ho fatto un'insalata di cavolo rosso tagliato fine, noci macadamia spezzate in due e fettine di primosale. Deliziosa, devo dire.

buckwheat pie with creamed cabbage and figs



...e Adina scoprì il grano saraceno decorticato. Adoro il suo sapore, ma solo sotto forma di farina l'avevo usato, e ci avevo fatto degli gnocchi and cake, a splendid addition to the classic pizzocheri. But the buckwheat grain, well, here, I had never seen before. They are made of grains like pyramids, like a pearl barley, a barley. And they have that flavor of toasted walnut, buckwheat simply. I've made a pie and then, because I'm always a virtue of necessity, I had in the house of Savoy (who now began to be cumbersome in the fridge) and some remaining figs in season, well ... I combined them. I never imagined. The flavor of the cabbage so decided, with the sweet figs. Seemed made for each other.

for 4 pies

150 g of hulled buckwheat
200 g of cabbage
hulled and sliced \u200b\u200b2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese 1 onion

2 figs blacks
50 g of sugar
extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper
1 knob of butter and bread crumbs

Start from the cabbage and put it to cook with a little olive oil and thin sliced \u200b\u200bonion, salt and pepper. When it starts to wilt slightly, add a glass of water. Season with salt, if needed. Simmer a few minutes, without absorbing all the water. Then chop everything with the mixer. For marmellatina of figs, I simply made caramelized figs cut in pieces with the sugar for a few minutes and then I shake the whole. Meanwhile, cook the buckwheat like a risotto. Do a little 'toasted in a pan with chopped onion and a dash of oil until unleashes her perfume. Add in water and cook about 18-20 minutes (previously read the instructions on the package of buckwheat, I would say 18 minutes). Towards the end of cooking stir in a couple of tablespoons of cream of cabbage and a couple of tablespoons of Parmesan cheese. Butter the molds and passateci breadcrumbs, then fill them with buckwheat, squeeze it well. Put them in a hot oven in a baking pan filled with a little water. Should not cook, stay warm just a few minutes and take shape. Place the cream of cabbage on plates, place the pie in the center and decorated with some toe jam figs and wishing with fresh figs.

How Make Ametalscooter





I was charmed and delighted in looking at all those vines! I would not have removed more eyes. All lined up and straight, perfect geometries and cakes in a continuous gradation, and only here and there a red roof, white fire lanes, paths. Maybe because I have some form of mental deviance with regard to the order ( remember?), I am the Langhe seemed my territory. Perfect. We were returning from a day at sea, the sky was growing pale, but as we approached to the territory of beef fat, wine, boiled, hazelnuts, cheese, the best that the food has to offer, here is a ray of sunshine yellow. A landscape made by a vanishing mist congenital, and emerald green. Carrù moving from a stop in Dogliani, a party in the streets, to finally land in Alba. In the land of him who was Luigi Einaudi. A plate of raw meat in a butcher shop directly with truffle, half sandwich with toma tasted the street. What more could you want? I was full and bloated. He seemed to have eaten the best, well aware that much more I could do. But the food is often the situation that makes it perfect. I did stock up on meat, boiled meat, nuts round Gentiles, toma, eight rows of corn flour (EUT infirmary of fire), Pliny and the traditional truffle ...
Obviously I left out the wines in a single day you can not do everything. But I would like to come back in late autumn. What should not be to cut off views of the rows in that season?

the paste of corn flour and eight rows



As it was a long time I was looking for the flour eight rows, I could not take it. And touch, to feel the fineness. Impalpable, more than the flour Maranelo. The eight rows flour is a former non-genetically modified varieties. What I got I is grown in Alta Langa, a Castino, and is so named because the corn has eight rows of grains forming four pairs. It 'also known as the corn of the King, and is not a commercial for its purity allows farmers to sow the grains of corn better, which is impossible for the hybrid or transgenic corn. It worked millstones natural slow-moving, which they can produce a whole-wheat flour and which contain the germ and the fiber of the corn. And here I leave you the recipe for pasta with corn, biscuits from Piedmont (which I love), as it is printed on the pack of eight rows flour Cascina delle Grazie .

100 g of corn flour eight rows

100 g white flour 100 g butter 90 g sugar


a pinch of salt 1 tablespoon baking powder 4 egg yolks


I've only a bit 'fit, because the gentleman who sold it to me told me that if I could, it would be better to make 130 of flour and eight rows of 70 white flour. And so I did. Mix all the ingredients, first the butter and sugar, then eggs, salt and flour with baking powder gradually. Refrigerate one hour to harden, then put the dough in the pocket of pastry with a spout off an inch and checkered. Arm strength, crush well and cut biscuits with a hole. Bake 15 minutes at 180 degrees. (If desired you can add the lemon zest, a little.)

If Dad Has Aneurysm Do I

and day out with her Maryland crab



This girl is Francesca, the beautiful daughter of the friends of Christ: that we could have the best reception when you arrive in Annapolis , Maryland. Yes, because, after New York, we spent a week in this region and we did not really miss anything from Washington, barbecue, corn on to a trip on the ocean island of Assateague, crabs, walking with the dogs, bagel with salmon, the true real farmer's market, at the party for a friend of 40 years . Yes, those American parties in the garden of one of those colorful wooden cottages, which looked like a beach house (but beautiful!).

Annapolis is the capital of Maryland, and that's where we were. Annapolis is the United States Naval Academy, there is a port and there is a bay, the Chesapeake Bay, there is mare che si insinua tra le colline, e splendide abitazioni che lambiscono le sponde, immerse spesso nei boschi. Annapolis fu la capitale degli Stati Uniti nel 1783 e per circa otto mesi. Si sviluppò grazie al commercio del tabacco. Ad Annapolis fu portato Kunta Kinte dove venne poi venduto ai proprietari di una piantagione. Ve lo ricordate Radici? Roots? Ecco, quello. Annapolis è una cittadina vivace, turistica, colorata. A tratti pare un po' francese, vi sono dei negozi davvero belli, e case del XVIII secolo più che in ogni altra città degli Stati Uniti.

E poi il Maryland è la patria del mainly fish and crabs! If you want a traditional dinner, crabs and oysters in the summer and winter. With champagne or beer (I vote for the second time in this case).
crabs we ate them "Spartans" in a really fun place, a sturdy wrapping paper instead of cloth, and a menu will that included boiled crabs upside down, literally, on the table, hammer, wooden peel, corn, shrimp and fried chicken (the presence of the chicken does not have much range). All washed down with Old Bay Seasoning. These yellow and blue cans of Old Bay Seasoning I have always had at home because Christ had brought me a few years ago. But this summer the sapute I really appreciate! Old Bay is a mix of spices and herbs, salt, pepper, ginger, mustard seeds, the flavor reminds a little paprika, but it is very unique. It is produced precisely in the Chesapeake Bay and, if I can do a free association, the box also has the colors of Annapolis, yellow and blue!

And then we have also eaten more "elegant" crabs in a specially prepared dinner for us to Claudia, our friend, the Maryland crab soup and crab cakes, made at the Annapolis Seafood Market. The crab cakes are very ordinary, the meatballs crab meat and bread. Contain more pulp, the more valuable, and sometimes they are served inside the sandwich, hamburger type. Ours were very good indeed, the mega meatballs bake mild and delicate flavor. The soup instead, I leave the recipe below, the original of Claudia. Do not panic, is rich in cream, of course. I thought a mappazza ... instead they eat leaves, a dish does not disturb, and it is tasty.


Maryland Cream of Crab Soup
30 min (5 min prep, 25 min cooking, for 2-3 people)

4 tbsp (60 g approximately) burro non salato
2 tbsp (30 g circa) farina bianca
1 tsp (5 ml, un pizzico direi) Old Bay Seasoning
1 tsp (5 ml... fate un po' a occhio, dai :-)) cipolla tritata
1 tbsp (15 g) succo di limone
6 ounces (170 g) polpa di granchio
16 fluid ounces (circa mezzo litro) di panna
prezzemolo e un goccio di brandy per guarnire

In una padella sul fuoco medio fate sciogliere il burro, aggiungete l'Old Bay Seasoning, la cipolla, il limone e mescolate. Aggiungete la farina mescolando sempre e, gradualmente, versate la panna, sempre mescolando. Aggiungete la polpa di granchio e fate sobbollire per circa 15 minuti, senza far raggiungere mai il bollore pieno. Servite with a splash of brandy and parsley if you like.

Cam Pink Eye Get Worse With Antibiotics?

my new york in a few lines



In truth I did not want to put a post with some photos of this summer, but then, why not? Today I feel full of energy, tired a lot, bad knees (because I fatigue accumulates there, me?), But with the desire to do that only those who understand my work. Yesterday, The End Statements, a race against time and against anxiety, but today ... peace, clean the desk, reading the newspaper abandoned for twenty days on the chair beside him. And then pecked you some photos and no holiday recipe. But I have a couple to be published however, have faith, I need my time lately. :-)

I open with the classic image of New York, the most significant, a city of long, slender, tall and fair, green and blue, upright and straightforward, resting on the water until it touches the sky. There was also a "paloma, aiming Nueva York" up there on the Empire State Building, as he told a English next to me, and has become the motto of the holiday.
I loved New York. A city that makes me want to live it. Fully, for a long time, traveling in summer, winter, autumn and even more - to be fantastic with the Central Park fall colors - per conoscerla. Non avevo mai messo piede in terra americana prima di quest'estate, ma quel poco che ho visto mi ha dato emozioni. Mi viene davvero difficile descrivere le miriadi di cose e luoghi e persone incontrati. Quasi a scorrere nella mia mente, mentre digito queste parole, questa vacanza... e lei, pare quasi che se ne voglia restare lì, nel mio cuore, senza trovare il coraggio di uscire. Quasi a dire: provatela voi stessi, godetevela voi stessi.

Ogni giorno ci si alzava alle 6.30-7 e si iniziava a camminare. Lentamente, abbacinati da tutto quanto intorno. Il cielo sopra di noi sempre bluissimo, l'aria secca, piacevolissima. Ogni giorno camminavamo almeno dodici ore, per assorbire la città tutta, in ogni sua strada, in each store, to try to just enjoy gazing at the antics that offered and offers real pints of coffee and brew, twelve centimeters tall cheesecake, muffins and in comparison with the molds that I have at home are for midgets, bagels for every taste and color (which those of good H & H bagel !) often prepared in shops in our eyes only typical fruits and vegetables stacked with a ruler (too!), shops full of vitamins (but orange instead of the pallette of vitamin C?), tiny crevices of food stacked that once dipanatisi, became veritable supermarket ... and again and again and again. The musical lived on stage inside the stage, museums full of paintings seen before only on school books or a few shows here and there, but so many, all together, never before, and finally even the paintings from the vi-vo my favorite painter, Georgia O'Keefe . Free people, of every kind and nature, the MetroCard that can be recharged with a credit card for a single dollar (but in Milan it was difficult to do such a thing?), The immense libraries that you could not stay, so many were the books and so little time, the breathtaking walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, with the emotion in my throat for that scene that was returned step by step, clean and crisp, and the head of the words Katina - a friend of ours, I described the fleeing crowd pale of September, there, on that bridge where we were ...
impossible to describe all, but I'll come back.








premise that New York is all indeed, in terms of cuisine and surroundings. Each type of cheese, fruit and vegetables, meat, flour, cereal, everything. There are so many places and less chic chic where I raids all the time, but here I decided to leave only a few addresses, the ones I tested and to go back for sure:
Zabar's , 2245 Broadway (80th Street) all really (except maybe the cornstarch ) great cheeses, cheddar at least ten varieties, from Wisconsin (you knew that Wisconsin is producing at least 600 varieties of cheese?) in New York cheddar cheese, macadamia nuts, olives and beautiful, the mezzanine level, a concentration of items for the kitchen stocked.
Kalustyan's, 123 Lexington Avenue "you can find everything for all ethnic cuisines," says Roberta Corradin in The cooks who wanted to be. I made some little things which I will tell you later. Fantastic place, a closet stuffed and scented. Just from their website you can give an account of the immense quantity and type of things they sell.
Whole Foods Market (of course! ... Who does not?) A veritable supermarket of organic food, so sympathetic, so cute packaging, which comes really want to buy everything. Now you will say, I went to New York and I slipped in a supermarket?!? Yes, I like to go abroad in the supermarket, I seem to be closer to local people, through what people eat. Maybe Whole Foods will not be the supermarket of all Americans, is a bit 'expensive, but believe me, it's worth it.
H & H Bagel front of Zabar's on Broadway, near the 80th Street. I do not know where I read it, but we pass by it every morning. And 'quite typical inside you churn out only bagels and bagel, I read about 80,000 a day, no place to sit, just buy it and you go.
Junior's my very best New York cheesecake. I've even taken the book . The recipe is the same since 1950, created by Harry Rosen and Eigel Peterson, passed down for generations, perfect, huge, delicious, creamy ... I read all the steps it has already a commitment, but obviously I'll try that soon. Even for you. The first and original address is 386 Flatbush Avenue Extension at Dekalb Avenue, Brooklyn. I'd recommend going there, even if there are two small retailers, one in Times Square and one at Grand Central Station.
