My Greek dinner: rice pudding

martedì, 2 marzo 2010

It took me two weeks, but finally I can show you the Greek dessert I made for my Greek dinner with friends for Valentine’s Day. It was such a long time I wanted to make the rice pudding again, one of my favorite desserts, but I wanted a Greek dessert… I was wrongly convinced that the riz au lait was French until I found the very recipe into the Greek section of the book of Tessa Kiros’ Falling Cloudberries! Perfect I would say, uh?

And allow me a “I still remember when…” moment, I was such a small foodblogger… it has been over a year since I posted the recipe for the rice pudding, it was on February the 11th, and it was my eighth post and I was still taking measures to photos and how to write. Let me show you the recipe again, changing the proportion of ingredients and cooking times according to Tessa’s directions. The result is very exciting!

Grandma Menna’s Kitchen: reed tripe risotto

mercoledì, 10 febbraio 2010

As soon as I had the first bite, I was in love. This risotto is not included into the culinary traditions of my family: before last Sunday, nobody had ever heard of it, I must tell the truth!
The first time I tasted it was in the restaurant of a friend, Barbara – she propose it as extra menu dish to give me a try: I was fascinated from the richeness of flavors and from the way the taste of reed tripe was enhanced by the preparation and the rice. I had no idea of the recipe, so when I found myself with leftover reed tripe I tried to figure out a way to make this risotto, but in the end I discovered that my procedure does not differ much from the traditional recipe of Florence, where reed tripe is not only well known, but I would say celebrated, part of the culinary tradition of the city.

Grandma Menna’s Kitchen: rice cake

mercoledì, 27 gennaio 2010

Telling you about this cake is like opening the door of my house, showing you the fireplace where my grandpa used to stand, with his hands behind is back to warm himself, it’s like offering you a barley coffee in my grandma tin cup. It’s like walking together on the same path I used to follow coming back from school with the rucksack on my shoulders, waving hello to my neighbours as they appeared at the window. It is a simple and sweet cake we make very often, the main ingredient is rice! It’s a foolproof cake, you’ll love it for is hearty and unique flavour.
