Baked plain cheesecake.

Posted on 25 February 2018

Back to the usual routine after the big flu; quite happy because I truly hate being forced to rest.

Not my cup of tea, really: lying on the sofa or in the bed I start thinking about all the things I should do, all the things I could clean and tidy up.

Now that I’m ok I had the chance to attend the Birra Amarcord‘s 20 years of activity party, a great party with important chefs, pizza makers and, of course, gallons of Amarcord beer.

I think I ate the best pizza of my life there, made by Piccola Piedigrotta: if you are around Reggio Emilia book a table and taste it, trust me!

Dutch piadina turnovers.

Posted on 9 August 2017

I’ve found the time to add another flag on the map of my “turnovers world tour “.

Maybe you remember the American ones or the French ones, all of them are made with piadina dough plus a filling which remembers the chosen country.

This time I had hemp flour at home: thinking about hemp then about drug is a very short step: you have to know that hemp has a long tradition in Romagna area too, in the past almost all the fabrics in Romagna were made with hemp.

Piadina turnovers with German filling.

Posted on 30 May 2017

I’m back after a long iatus, I had things to do, end of the school parties, work, hot weather struggle…

I don’t know if you remember my project about piadina turnovers filled with fillings inspired to different countries.

I did the Icelandic ones, the French ones, the English ones, I’m working on Dutch ones and today I’m posting here the German turnovers.

I made a big big mistake as you can see in photos: I had to make and shoot four different recipes, I was in a hurry and I took the wrong flags to decorate the photos.

I’m having a long week end with my son, all alone as dad is out of the city.

We went out by bus, stopped at the park, called a classmate and his mum to play together then we had lunch in a place near the park.

I also met at the restaurant a classmate of mine I didn’t see in uhm, I think twenty years.

Spiced apfelmus, German apple sauce.

Posted on 10 March 2017

Many of you probably already know apfelmus, the classic German apple mousse: I love it a lot with kaiserschmarren but it’s ok on bread, with biscuits, alone ( I call it spoon mode).

If you go North here in Italy you can find apfelmus in stores but here where I am is not so easy to find ( but not impossible as Lidl, which is a German flag, is almost everywhere).

I decided to give a try with homemade apple sauce because…
