The Daring Bakers’ Challenge: Tiramisu

sabato, 27 febbraio 2010

This was the first time I took part at the Daring Baking Challenge, and which recipe could be better than Tiramisu, one of the most popular and beloved Italian dessert?! We often make tiramisu at home, but buying ladyfingers and mascarpone cheese. Obviously, if you want a very good tiramisu, you must choose superior quality products.

Making tiramisu from scratch gives you the chance to have excellents ingredients: fresh, delicious… and should we talk about the pride of making ladyfingers and mascarpone all by yourself? (continua…)

Black tea wafers with mascarpone filling

giovedì, 25 febbraio 2010

After a really bad day at work – they happen more and more often – I went home and I was so nervous… all that I wanted  was cooking, and possibly using chocolate, remedy for all problems, serotonin maker, a good thing!

Chocolat verrines… to lick your fingers!

giovedì, 11 febbraio 2010

The diktat was clear from the beginning. The aim was to make one of those cakes that:

If you do not lick your fingers you enjoy only half of the pleasure. One of those that, although you won’t admit it even under torture, you dream to finish it spoonful by spoonful all by yourself, without sharing it with someone else. Or, better, maybe one of those desserts that you sit there with the little finger to clean the mould or scrape up the last crumbs so as not to see it lost.

Ele conquered me with the words by licking their fingers. From there on, I began to mentally browse through all chocolate and sweet-toothed recipes that came to my mind, but none seemed up to my ultimate goal… Dissolution of sinking a spoon into a heavenly and chocolaty cream.

Les Mendiants – Vianne Rocher favourite ones!

mercoledì, 23 dicembre 2009

When on Friday I came back home from work, it all seemed a mess: I was tired, sad, nervous, unhappy abouit work, I wanted something new. Then, all at once, the snow. Soft and silent. And my nerves started to ease. Suddenly a movie came to my mind, Chocolat, and snow and wind became a chance for a change. Snow covers up everything, and when it will melt, new possibilities and opportunities will be revealed.

Jamie Oliver’s Two-nuts Chocolate Cake

venerdì, 17 luglio 2009

I love him. I can’tl help it. My love was born by chance watching Gambero Rosso Channel, maybe it was during an old The naked chef episode… He is joyful, rowdy, fun, enthusiastic. He is always singing and dancing while cooking, he gets carried away for a well-made dish, tastes everything with pleasure and makes everything with passion. What about his recipes? I love them… there is always that typical touch, that tip which can help you through… to cut a long story short, that for Jamie Oliver is true love!
