Walnut country cake.

Posted on 6 October 2017

Few weeks ago my father in law came at us to go with my husband at the stadium to see a football match, Bologna- Inter F.C.

We had a quick dinner with piadina bread and cold cuts plus a good cold beer as they had to run off the stadium: it’s not far from where we live but of course you have to find a parking lot then walk, then pass the check points…

They were on a rush to be there in time.

I was very happy to have a whole evening just for me, Lorenzo just started school after the summer break and was exhausted and soon ready for bed so I had totally free time to do something in the kitchen.

It’s something that donesn’t happen often.

Red velvet cake, recipe from Lorraine Pascale.

Posted on 2 October 2017

I’m back after a long iatus, I did some changes to the blog, nothing visible but I exited the iFood network and now I’m an indipendent blogger, I upgraded my http certificates to https, I’m going to focus more on an international audience from now on so…

I have to improve my English and my posts!

I want to celebrate with one of my favourite cakes: red velvet cake.

I know you maybe are looking for Italian recipes on my pages but I consider all the food of the world part of passion and I love trying, mixing and, of course, sharing with you.

You have to know this cake was almost unknown in Italy untill few years ago; it became famous after some tv shows from U.S.A. like Cake Boss and now you can find it everywhere along with cupcakes and Oreo- everything .

Grapefruit Sour IPA sherbet.

Posted on 23 July 2017

This is another recipe I created for Cantina della Birra, a shop online dedicated to beers of every kind and nation.

As their blog is in Italian only I’m free to share on mine the recipe in English.

English is the brewery from where the beer I used comes from: Siren Craft Brew, Berkshire.

Pompelmocello is a great IPA, perfect for summer, so I decided to enjoy it into a fresh sherbet, the perfect dessert for a summer dinner.

Marbled cheesecake.

Posted on 25 April 2017

This dessert comes from “ How to be a domestic goddess” by Nigella Lawson; the book comes from one of my bargains on Amazon: used books for less than 7 euros shipping included, usually from U.K.

Conditions are almost always perfect (if not it’s specified) and I can stuff my bookshelves with expensive hardcover cookbooks saving a lot of money.

Sooner or later I have to post a photo of my bookcase. 🙂

Coconut mini flans.

Posted on 28 February 2017

This dessert has been made almost a year ago.

I’ve been so uncertain about posting it or not: the flan is lovely but nor me neither my tablemates liked the sauce it’s has been served with.

The sauce comes along with the recipe on the Jamie magazine Italian edition (now closed, it’s a pity as it was the only magazine I kept on buying) but it’s too sharp.
