Welcome back on my blog!
Have you seen all the previous recipes from the Cookie Advent Calendar?
I got fat doing it so please enjoy it and gain a little fat too or I’ll feel lonely! 😛
Welcome to day 16 of our Cookie Advent Calendar!
We are fast approaching Christmas: we will have a very humble Christmas day as here in Italy you cannot exit your city of residence on 25 and 26 Dec. and we have no relatives in this city, even if my parents are very few miles away we can’t reach them or see them somewhere.
Welcome to day 15 of our Cookie Advent Calendar.
Today I’m posting a very old recipe, written by Pellegrino Artusi, the man known as the father of Italian modern cooking.
He wrote a monumental book with more than 700 recipes, all tested and really delicious.
I’ve got a cheap edition, I saw it’s sold in English too but it’s a little bit more expensive:
I suppose almost everyone knows what Anzac Day is but maybe not many know the memorial day for Australian and New Zealand’s troops is on 25 April, the same day in Italy we celebrate the Liberation Day.
When I was little I wasn’t a great cookie fan, especially when they were storebought.
I found them too dry and crunchy ( childish issues I suppose).
I only made an exception for canestrelli, crumbly, buttery, wonderful cookies usually made in Liguria, the Italian region known for Cinque terre, Pesto alla Genovese and more.
