<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">It's
incredible how things have changed in those months and how far this
place seems to be from me. Sometimes it's hard to understand what
happened, I found no answer to that question. </span>

<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Thus,
I just accept the fact that even coming here, posting and shooting
recipes has become a bit unusual and unnatural to me. It's the
normal stage each change has to experience, I think. And there's no
escape to this.</span><br />

<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">I
wanted to talk about lovely autumnal feelings and amazing Nordic
sceneries, about simple and small things in life, about breathing the
very first biting breeze of Fall. But none of these seems to be
available for now. Anyway. I just couldn't resist to let these
amazing pictures and subjects in a forgotten folder of my laptop. So
here there is the story:</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Everything
started with my huge nostalgia of the happy times I lived in
Stockholm. I've already told the people of <a href="http://instagram.com/meandfoodblog">Instagram</a>, that this
episode already took place while I was living in London. I remember I
was at Ally Pally's farmers market, North London (I could show you
some of my shoots there, actually. It's just one of the loveliest
farmers market in whole London). I was shooting and looking at each
of the stands. With bright eyes, I was so happy in front of all those
organic products. And my belly was trying to resist to that large
number of yummy things -there was no match, indeed. Ops! ;) When
I noticed the Nordic-inspired bakery stand, I was just like in
heaven. The nostalgia of Scandinavia went along me during the whole
summertime and that stand made me feel a bit back to Stockholm. When
I saw cinnamon buns I was even more exited to have finally the chance
to eat those delish buns again. I immediately bought <a href="http://instagram.com/p/q6IfpZvSff/?modal=true">a very big one</a>.
Well. What I can say is that even though the all fact of finding them
in the UK was great, unfortunately all the sweet memories of Sweden
which came with it suddenly disappeared - at the first bite. I don't
know if it was 'cause of the hot weather of this weird British summer
or what (else), but the taste was just different. It was a quite nice
bun with a very light hint of cinnamon, but nothing that could be
named <i>Kanelbulle</i>. It didn't help with my nostalgia and after
that I just quit with the idea of finding original Nordic cinnamon
buns out of Nordic countries.</span></div>

<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">It
was two weeks ago, I think. My huge need of cinnamon-after all it's
Fall now, which means cinnamon (basically) everywhere – was getting
stronger and stronger and it was a terrible long time I wasn't baking
anything delicious for my dears. Ally Pally's adventure has been a useful lesson and fresh memory, so I was
pretty undecided on what to do. At the end I actually just said: “Let's
do this.” They couldn't turn out worst than Ally Pally's ones, I
didn't have anything to loose. And I have never regret it. 'Cause
although it was my very first attempt with them, my <i>kanelbullar
</i><span style="font-style: normal;">were simply amazing. I don't say
they were perfect – I have to practice with shaping them better and
I didn't find the right pearl sugar you need to top them – but the
taste was really close to perfection. And they tasted really as the
originals. :)</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;">You
can imagine how enjoyable those breakfasts have been. After a pretty
long time I finally felt the same emotions of my trip to Sweden. I
remember those chilled and lovely breakfast and </span><i>fikas </i><span style="font-style: normal;">I
had. I remember how well I felt in that culture and life. I'm so
eager to go back there soon. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;">And Rosendals Trädgård, with that
coffee, daisies and one of the best </span><i>bullar </i><span style="font-style: normal;">of
Stockholm, this one <a href="http://www.vetekatten.se/">here</a>. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;">| This picture below was a shoot of my improvised styling workshop in Rosendals T., Stockholm. Vette's bulle + swedish latte + wild daises from the lawn. :) | </span></span>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">If you have never tried
them, then it's time. Swedish ones are the top, but I've learned you
can feel a bit of North even if you bake them at home, no matter
where you live. They are truly easy to prepare. You just need
patience and practice. As for everything after all. :) </span>

I apologize for not replying at your last comments on the blog,
unfortunately there is a problem with the platform. I'm trying to fix
it since a while but without nice results. I hope you'll understand
and that it will be solved soon. Nevertheless, I want to remember
all of you I am so grateful for your comments or simple silent
presence. I know you are with me, always. Thank you from the bottom
of my heart. </span></span></div>

</span>
<br />
<div lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Sift the dry ingredients
in a large bowl and mix them. Cream the yeast with one or two tsp of
sugar until it is almost liquid. Add it to the dry ingredients. Make
a well in the middle of the dry ingredients, add the beaten egg and
the milk-butter mixture. Stir everything together until you get a
moist and soft dough. Cover the bowl with a kitchen cloth and leave
it to rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour. </span>

<br />
<div lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">When the dough has rested,
pour it over a well-floured surface and start working it with the
hands until it doesn't stick anymore. Roll out the dough with a
rolling pin until it forms like a rectangle of 35x25 cm. Spread the
filling evenly over the dough, starting from the middle to the edge.
Fill the whole surface until the extreme edge of the rectangle. </span>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">At
this point, </span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">fold the dough
two times like if you were packing a letter. Cut the roll into pieces
and twist them around your hand to create knot buns. Place them on a
baking tray covered with parchment paper. Repeat until you end the
whole dough. Cover the trays with a kitchen cloth and let the buns
rest for further 30 minutes.</span></span></div>

here we are again.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">I
can't even describe how weird is coming back here (and at home as
well). It was a very long time I didn't visit the blog anymore. For
once again, I disappeared somewhere in the world looking for new
things and ideas. ;)</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Joking
apart, many things have changed in these three months of stillness.
It is always the same: when changes take place in my life I explain
and show them after a while. I think it is mainly a matter of
understanding what's going on. And I have to do it by myself, alone.
Far away from my normality.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">I
missed the blog-routine. I missed writing above all, and cooking.
That's what I was thinking about most of the time. The desire to bake
a yummy chocolate cake or an unlimited tower of pancakes was so
strong. With some new fabulous cookbooks in my hands, I thought I
could get crazy at all. Thanks God I had my camera with (actually
almost new camera. Yes, finally it turned into a 5d Mark II!!) and my
lovely chubby Fuji as well, with which I took tons of pictures. I
think it was a silent way to express my feelings in completely (or
almost) unknown places of a huge metropolitan city. I really felt I
lost words sometimes and pictures could say them better than me. And
I learned it, with this experience. A camera was all what I needed.
The rest was unnecessary. </span>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">I
still have to realize so many things about what happened. I'd like to
understand the meaning it had for me and who I am now thanks to it.

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">The
swirly swiss roll cake you see is the one I baked some days ago for
my dad's birthday party. It was such a lovely family party my sister
and I organized in one of our fav places located in our valley. It
was a pic-nic party with tons of good and healthy food, great beer
and sun which my place hasn't seen for a long time during the Summer
(and which seems totally disappeared even now). </span>

<span style="font-size: large;">

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">I
was thinking of this pic-nic since the whole Summer and I was happy
we could enjoy it together. The menu was pretty off topic (I mean, I
decided to prepare falafel and cous cous for a pic-nic at 2040 m of
altitude!) and definitely far away from the traditional dishes in my
area, but in the end it turned into the perfect choice for the
occasion. Summery and fresh flavors for one of the unique sunny day
of this crazy italian Summer (I was told about this by family, of
course).</span></div>

</span><div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">The
cake was my very first attempt with the genre (yep, I like making my
life complicated ;) ). The idea of baking a swiss roll cake has
always scared me, mainly because I heard about the delicate dough you
have to work with and that it could easily go broken when you are
rolling it. Actually, I can say I was very lucky with the crucial
passage (and you will say it's the beginner's luck. And I will say
“yes it is”, 'cause I basically followed the wrong order of steps
all the recipe long but this didn't compromise the result, don't ask
why since I really don't know the answer!) and I think the final
result can prove it was the first time. It is a bit flattened/pressed
and not very round or swirl, but it was incredibly delicious so that
I decided to post it anyway. The base was moist and fluffy and the
filling so yummy. I avoided cream since I don't like very creamy (I
mean with tons of whipped cream) sweets and I used ricotta instead. I found out it is a super valid substitute,
healthier and lighter. I simply added a homemade blackberry compote a
friend gave me and the cake was done. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">You
can put every ingredient you prefer, such as fresh fruit pieces with
the sugared ricotta. It would work for sure! And if you want
to overdo, let's put a (moderate) layer of chilled Nutella or
chocolate cream. And with a swipe of icing sugar heaven is almost
there. </span>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">if you are in a hurry (as I was ;) ),
you can skip the hour of rest at the end of the preparation. Simply
sift some icing sugar and serve. It goes without saying that in this
case the result won't be perfect at all (you will have the flattened
cake I had ;) ) but the taste won't suffer for it. It is an
aesthetic matter which is important to consider. Doubtless
if you follow every right step you will get a top swiss roll cake.
Which is better! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Tempo
fa, esattamente <a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/2013/12/happy-xmas.html">qui</a>, avevo parlato di rivoluzione. Una rivoluzione
che sentivo stesse accadendo, stesse per arrivare. Non capivo cosa
fosse in atto, cosa mi aspettava e cosa avrei trovato. Dopo aver
tentato di fingere, di non ascoltare questo stimolo e quei pensieri,
ho ceduto ad una forza più forte di me. Ho imparato a sentire la mia
anima. In ogni sua vibrazione. Ho imparato ad interpretarne i
segnali. E forse ad accettarla. Sebbene contorta, a momenti. Vivace.
Più di quel che pensavo.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Questo
periodo è stato molto particolare, ne sono successe di cose in
questi mesi. Ci sono state decisioni e scelte importanti. Che ho
fatto per me certo, ma che sono costate molto. La maggior parte di
tutto questo non era in programma (ve lo ricordate, quello a punti?!)
e non lo avrei mai immaginato. A volte mi sono sentita fragile ed
impotente. Poi però una strana energia, mi piace chiamarla
<i>magnetismo</i>, che non conoscevo prima, mi ha portato in luoghi e
mondi nuovi. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Sono
nati nuovi interessi, nuovi progetti e nuovi sogni. Mi stavo
trasformando. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Sentivo
(e sento ancora) il peso di questo processo che non terminerà
presto, che forse non avrà mai fine. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Ho
trovato le risposte, quelle che cercavo. Così nitide. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Sì,
non sono un tipo facile. Ci vorrà del tempo. Io mi metto in marcia,
intanto. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Qualcuno
mi ha detto che il resto, se c'è impegno e sacrificio, verrà da sè.</span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Sono
cambiata io, quindi. Con diversi occhi e punti di vista. Ho cambiato
testa. E con me anche il blog è cresciuto. L'ho sempre visto come il
mio rifugio e sarà per sempre così. Con il tempo però, ho iniziato
a specchiarmici. Mi vedevo riflessa, nelle parole, nelle foto e nelle
scelte delle ricette. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;"><i>Me
and food</i> è sempre stato più di un blog di cucina, credo che
anche chi mi legge lo abbia sempre potuto percepire. Il nome può
ingannare, è vero. In realtà però dietro a quel titolo si nasconde
un mondo ricchissimo di interessi e progetti, anche diversi dal food.

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Ho
inserito qualche novità (la <a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/2014/05/ode-to-spring.html">corona di margherite</a> e il <a href="http://vimeo.com/95662601">video</a>) senza

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;"><i>Me
and food </i><span style="font-style: normal;">non sarà più un mero
blog di cucina. Il food sarà l'elemento principale, al quale però
verranno aggiunti nuovi mondi. Il lifestyle in primis, qualcosa di
design (su questo dobbiamo lavorarci ancora un po'), fotografia (come
dimenticarla), scrittura (altrimenti sapete che soffoco senza le mie
parole) e perchè no, travel. La base sarà sempre la stessa, le
origini rimarranno quelle. Però gli orizzonti si allargheranno. Vi
assicuro che ci saranno molte sorprese. </span></span></div>

<style type="text/css">P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm;</style><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Ed
ora, è tempo di annunci. Seriamente.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Tra
poco partirò e abbandonerò il Bel Paese per seguire alcuni progetti
e (anche) per questo ci saranno alcune modifiche (più o meno
importanti).</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">La
prima cosa che tengo a dirvi è che il blog, d'ora in poi, sarà
pubblicato <b>solo in inglese</b>. Ovviamente rimarranno i precedenti post
in italiano, o quelli più recenti bilingue, ma per il resto tutto
sarà (quasi) esclusivamente in lingua inglese. In realtà avevo
anticipato questa pratica su Facebook, se mi seguite saprete che non
scrivo in italiano da tempo, fatta eccezione per qualche occasione
speciale. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">D'ora
in poi, comunque l'inglese sarà presente sia su social che sul blog,
appunto forse con qualche rara eccezione. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Molti
forse non condivideranno, essendo questo blog nato e cresciuto in
Italia (come la sottoscritta del resto), ma i motivi di questa scelta
sono molteplici, alcuni anche personali. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Sarò
sempre disponibile a rispondervi se mi contatterete privatamente per
aiuti o dubbi, ma non posso davvero fare altrimenti. Lascerò senza
dubbio il traduttore (so che non è ottimo, ma può aiutare chi sarà
in difficoltà) e spero con il cuore non mi odierete. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">La
seconda è che nei prossimi tempi sarà probabile non tornerò spesso
sul blog. Sarò molto impegnata e non conosco ancora come andranno
perfettamente le cose. Non lo abbandonerò di certo, soprattutto in
questa fase. Ci sarò, con qualche novità e qualche nuovo post (non
so bene cosa vi porterò, ma credo vi piacerà ;)). In compenso, vi
annuncio che potrete seguirmi attraverso i social, che come forse già
saprete non amo molto, ma che obbiettivamente risultano essere
l'unica alternativa per rimanere connessi. Ho persino ceduto ad
<a href="http://instagram.com/meandfoodblog#"><b>Instagram</b></a> per permettervi di seguirmi ;) . Creerò una specie di
diario (fotografico), che percorrerà (moderatamente, non occorre
dirlo) il mio nuovo viaggio. Qualche semplice parola e foto di
quotidianità-food-posti nuovi. </span>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">L'ultimo
post quindi e le ultime ricette. Con il rabarbaro, uno dei miei
frutti preferiti. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Tagliare il rabarbaro per
il lungo, in tronchetti. Posizionarli in una teglia da forno. In una
ciotolina mescolare il succo dell'arancia con lo zenzero e versarlo
sul rabarbaro. Spolverizzare con lo zucchero e mescolare per
combinare il condimento. Infornare a 180° per circa 30-35 minuti, o
fino a che la frutta è morbida ma non completamente molliccia. </span>

<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">A while ago, right <a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/2013/12/happy-xmas.html">here</a>, I
told you about revolution. I felt this revolution which was happening
and coming. I didn't understand what was going on and what I'd find. After trying to fake, not to listen that
stirring and those thoughts, I surrendered to this power, for sure
stronger than me. I learned to feel my soul. Each of its inside
vibrations. I learned to interpret its signs. And maybe to accept it
too. Although twisted, sometimes. And intense. More than what I
thought. </span>

<span style="font-size: small;">

<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">This period was pretty a
particular one, so many things happened during these months. There
were decisions and important choices. I took them for me of course,
but they demanded a lot. The main part of them was unexpected (do you
remember the point by point schedule?!) and I've never imaged it. I
sometimes felt weak and powerless. But then a weird energy, I like
calling it <i>magnetism</i>,which I've never experienced, brought me
to new worlds and places. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">New interests, projects
and dreams were rising. It was kind of transformation. </span>

<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">I felt (I still do it) the
spiritual weight of this process which won't be over soon, which
probably will never end at all. </span>

<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">I changed, so. I have
different eyes and points of view. A different mind. And with me,
even the blog grew up. I've always seen it as a shelter and it will
be so for ever. Time passed and I understood It was mirroring me. I
saw my reflection, through the words, pictures and the recipe's
choices. </span>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;"><i>Me and food </i><span style="font-style: normal;">has
always been a food blog for sure, I think it's a pretty easy concept
to capture. The name may mislead, it's true. Behind that title a
hidden and sparkling world, rich of interest and projects (it's not
just all around food), is actually living. There's my world. Made of
outdoors picnics, Sunday brunches, lifestyle magazines and springy
flowers.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">I added some new elements (the

<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;"><i>Me and food </i><span style="font-style: normal;">won't
be anymore just a simple food blog. Food will always be the main
topic, but many other spheres will turn around it. Firstly lifestyle,
something about design (I have to work a bit more on this part),
photography (how to forget it!), writing (you know I can't live
without my words) and travel, why not. </span></span>

<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

announcements. Seriously.</span></div>

<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">I will leave in a few days
and will be abroad to follow some projects and (even) 'cause of this
there will be some modifications (more important or not).</span></div>

<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">Firstly, I want to tell
you that the blog will be written and published <b>only in english</b> from
now on (I know english followers will be desperate 'cause of my bad
english! I apologize folks and promise to improve it very soon!).
Older italian or more recent bilingual posts will remain for sure,
but the rest will be (almost) completely in english. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">Actually I was doing this
since a lot on Facebook, if you follow me there you probably know I
use italian only for some special occasions. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">Anyways, english will be
both on the blog and on socials, as I said, with some particulars
exceptions. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

</div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">Many of you won't share my
decision since this blog was born and “raised” in Italy ( as me),
the reasons of this are many, some of them are personal too.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">I'll be always available
to reply if you will contact me privately for help or doubts. The translator (I know it's not great but
will be necessary for those who are in spot) will be always here to
give you a hand, I deeply hope you won't hate me. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">Secondly I want to let you
know I won't come back very often on the blog in the next summery
weeks. I'll be pretty busy and I still don't know how things will
develop. I won't leave it for sure, above all during this important
phase. I'll be here with something new and new posts (I don't know
well what they will be about but I think you will like them ;) ). To
make up for this, I announce you that you can follow me through my
social profiles, which I don't like so much (as you know), but they
are objectively the only solution to keep in touch and stay tuned. I
even caved in with <a href="http://instagram.com/meandfoodblog#"><b>Instagram</b></a> to let you follow me ;). I'll create
kind of (photographic) diary, which will go through my new experience
(with moderation, goes without saying). Some simple words and pics of
everyday life, food experiences and new places.</span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">There'll be silence maybe.

<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">But trust me, sometimes it
means more than streams of words.</span></div>

and recipes. With rhubarb, one of my fav fruit.</span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">I

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<style type="text/css">P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm;</style><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Ve
lo confesso: non avrei mai pensato di riuscirci davvero. </span>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Avevo
aspettato questo momento da tempo, credo dagli albori di <i>Me and
food</i>. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Ho
tenuto tanti piccoli progetti (ambizioni?!) nascosti in un cassetto,
che forse per troppo tempo avevo abbandonato e chiuso a chiave.
Pensare di aprirlo mi spaventava. Credevo di interrompere un
equilibrio, che poi così stabile non era. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Non
ne avevo il coraggio. Il coraggio. Forse la chiave che ha fatto in
modo che lo riaprissi. Mi ci sono persa e ho avuto paura per qualche
istante. Poi però ho trovato un mondo nuovo, che non avevo
immaginato. </span>

</span>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Il
mio di mondo. Il mio posto, le mie risposte. Li vedevo.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Non
lo so se sono pronta, però una cosa l'ho imparata. </span>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Ascoltarsi
è l'unica soluzione. E non c'è via di uscita.</span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Il
video, quindi. Questa la sorpresa che vi avevo accennato qualche mese
fa. Non potete immaginare quanto sia soddisfatta del mio primo post
con video (disponibile su Vimeo). Il mio primo esperimento con delle
riprese. Un'esperienza che non dimenticherò. Con risate, sacchi di
farina e props appiccicosi. Un'assistente speciale e paziente, che ha
saputo supportarmi e aiutarmi. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Un
video casalingo e spontaneo. Con sviste ed imperfezioni. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Sincero,
semplicemente.</span></div>

<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">È
una storia (non chiamatela video-ricetta), che racconta di una
giovane ragazza che ha sempre amato le cose semplici e genuine. Che
impazzisce per i vestiti di jeans e le trecce di lato. Che non cucina
mai senza grembiule. Che sorride vedendo un vaso di fiori freschi. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">E
che in un pomeriggio di primavera ha cucinato delle soffici
<i>shortcakes </i><span style="font-style: normal;">al latticello</span><i>.
</i></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Poi
le ha mangiate con frutti rossi freschi e panna montata. </span>

</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">E
una spolverata di zucchero a velo, sì. </span>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">In
una ciotola capiente mescolare con un cucchiaio di legno la farina,
lo zucchero, il lievito e la vaniglia. Aggiungere il burro a pezzi e
con la punta delle dita iniziare ad impastare, incorporandolo agli
ingredienti secchi. Continuare fino a che si ottiene una consistenza
molto granulosa, somigliante al pangrattato. Unire il latticello e
l'uovo, continuare a mescolare con un cucchiaio di legno. Quando
l'impasto ha una consistenza soda ed omogenea trasferirlo su un piano
di lavoro ben infarinato e lavorarlo, per ottenere una palla liscia.
Dividerla in sei parti uguali, formando palline della stessa
dimensione. Schiacciarle leggermente e metterle su una teglia
rivestita di carta forno. Spennellarle con il burro fuso e
spolverizzarle con dello zucchero. Infornare a 180° e cuocere per
circa 20-25 minuti. Controllare la cottura con lo stecco. </span>

base del dolce non è molto zuccherata se mangiata singolarmente. I
frutti, la panna e lo zucchero a velo completano e bilanciano
perfettamente il piatto. È comunque possibile aggiungere un po' di
zucchero all'impasto, soprattutto se avete intenzione di mangiarli
da soli. Le vere <i>shortcakes</i> però desiderano sempre un po'
di panna e frutti rossi (anche delle semplici fragole vanno bene).

flour, sugar, baking powder and vanilla. Mix with a wood spoon. Add
the butter and start kneading with the top of your fingers,
incorporating it to the dry ingredients. Keep working until you get a
nubby consistence (crumbled). Add buttermilk and the egg, keeping
mixing with the spoon. When the dough is homogenous, move it on a
well-floured working board and work it to obtain a smooth ball.
Divide the mixture into six same parts, shaping balls with the same
size. Press them a bit and put them into a baking tray covered with
wax paper. Brush the shortcakes with some melted butter and sprinkle
with sugar. Bake to 180° for 20-25 minutes, checking the baking with
a toothpick. </span>

<li><div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">the cake base isn't very
sugary if you eat it alone. Berries, cream and icing sugar complete
and balance perfectly the <i>shortcakes</i>. Anyway you can add some
sugar (don't exaggerate) if you want to eat them as they are.
Actually the real version of the cake wants a bit of cream and some
berries (even strawberries are so good). And trust me, there's a
why! ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;"> Avrei
molte cose da dirvi. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Tante,
forse troppe, sono in ballo. </span>

sembra quasi di non riuscire a seguire questa storia, che poi è la

<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Respiro
l'aria di primavera, una primavera così diversa. Intensa, non c'è
dubbio. Piena di qualcosa che nemmeno io so interpretare. Una
primavera che mi fa perdere le parole. Che non dimenticherò. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Voglio
che significhi rinascita. L'inizio di un nuovo capitolo. </span>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Questo
post sarà un'ode a questa stagione. Pieno di colori, rosa pallido e
fiori. Diverso dal solito, oltre ad essere più ricco. Perchè adesso
molte cose cambieranno, anche qui. Forse è giunta l'ora che pian
piano vi prepari a questa rivoluzione. :) Un passo per volta.
Prometto che vi spiegherò tutto, magari in un post ad hoc. Credo lo
meritiate.</span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Ultimamente
ho la tendenza (folle?!) di mettere ovunque fiori. Sono circondata da
bouquet di garofani, crisantemi e ranuncoli (elenco dei miei
preferiti ;)) di ogni genere. Ho trascorso più tempo in fioreria e
in serre che in uno negozio di alimentari (quindi, c'è da
preoccuparsi! ;) ). Casa ora è invasa di piccoli mazzolini di prato,
vasi e composizioni. Mi rallegrano e fanno
nascere un sorriso solo guardandoli. A dire la verità non ho mai
creduto di possedere il pollice verde. Nonostante abbia sempre aiutato
mamma, grande appassionata di giardinaggio, non mi ci ero mai
avvicinata più di tanto. Apprezzavo il lavoro dei professionisti e
il floral design in generale, però non avevo mai provato a creare
un qualcosa di mio. Qualche tempo fa, sfogliando un rivista, mi si è
accesa una lampadina. Pochi giorni dopo infatti, ho preso forbici e
corona da fiorista e, in un laboratorio alquanto improvvisato, ho
creato questa <i>corona di primavera</i>. L'idea mi è nata da
un'immagine che avevo in mente da un po'. Un portone di legno
vecchio, una maniglia di ferro battuto e questa corona appesa con un
nastro bianco. In realtà alla fine è diventata un meraviglioso
centrotavola (ma può tranquillamente essere un decoro di un mobile
vecchio). È molto ricca e corposa, rischierebbe di cadere se appesa
o di rovinare la porta. </span>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Come
saprete io impazzisco per lo stile rustico (un po' country-shabby)
con il quale sono cresciuta. Ovviamente però potete personalizzarla
a seconda del tipo di abitazione e di interno. È adorabile in una
casa di campagna, ugualmente bella in un elegante appartamento di
città. Anche se continuo a credere che con il legno non abbia
rivali. ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Bene,
la parte di lifestyle che tanto aspettavo l'ho svelata (il tutorial
segue, prima della ricetta). Ora però devo parlarvi un po' del
dolce. Una soffice <i><b>angel cake ai lamponi con una glassa allo yogurt</b></i>.
La torta più spugnosa e morbida che io conosca. Leggerissima. Una
nuvoletta bianca zuccherina. Il gusto semplice e dolce della base
viene arricchito dall'acidulo dei lamponi ed è in contrasto con la
glassa allo yogurt. Il dolce perfetto per una merenda di primavera,
allestita in giardino, con qualche bandierina rosa chiaro e bianco e
una limonata alle fragole.E le cannucce rigorosamente a strisce/pois.
Immancabili.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;">La
scelta dei fiori e delle piante è assolutamente personale. Dipende
dai vostri gusti, dalla dispobilità, dalla resa che volete abbia e
dall'occasione. Fatevi consigliare dal vostro fioraio/a di fiducia.</span></span></div>

<li><div align="JUSTIFY" lang="it-IT" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;">La
corona è adatta a diventare un centrotavola, più che per essere
appesa ad un portone. Infatti, anche se la corona di spugna ha una
base apposita impermeabile, soprattutto se si ha una porta in legno
il rischio di inumidire la porta è alto. Inoltre è anche molto
pesante, bisognerebbe fissare il nastro con chiodi e martello,
rovinando così la porta.</span></span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="JUSTIFY" lang="it-IT" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;">La
durata dei fiori varia in base alla scelta compiuta. In media è di
circa 3-4 giorni. Il mio consiglio è di spruzzare con acqua la
corona tutti i giorni (eccetto il giorno in cui l'avete preparata)
in modo da tenere leggermente umida la spugna. Inoltre se i verdi
sono più resistenti mentre i fiori freschi appassiscono, sostituite
questi ultimi con altri, così da utilizzarla il più a lungo
possibile. </span></span>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Mescolare la farina ed il
sale in una ciotola. Montare le chiare d'uovo e quando iniziano ad
assumere un consistenza cremosa aggiungere cremor tartaro e vaniglia.
Continuare a montare fino a che ottenete un risultato simile a quello
per le meringhe, senza che però i bianchi siano troppo “fermi”.
Unire con delicatezza la farina, e con una spatola incorporarla
all'uovo, dall'alto verso il basso. Assicuratevi che non ci siano
grumi, quindi versate un terzo dell'impasto nello stampo. Aggiungere
parte dei lamponi, incastrandoli leggermente nella pasta e ricoprire
con un altro strato di impasto. Continuare fino a terminare, coprendo
ovviamente d'impasto l'ultimo strato. Livellarlo con cura. Infornare
a 180° e cuocere per 20-25 minuti, fino a che la superficie è
dorata, controllando comunque la cottura con uno stecco. </span>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">IMPORTANTE: questo è un
discorso che nasce sempre nel momento in cui si propone una angel
cake, io giocherò d'anticipo. “È necessario possedere lo stampo
apposito per angel-cake o ci si può arrangiare con un'altra forma
simile?”. Io vi risponderò con il mio punto di vista e in base
alla mia esperienza, credo sia in parte soggettiva la questione. Per
quanto mi riguarda sì, lo stampo è praticamente essenziale. Come
saprete la particolarità di questo stampo è quella che, oltre ad
essere molto alto, possiede dei piedini che permettono di
raffreddare “a forma in giù” il dolce in modo tale che nello
sformarlo non rimanga interamente attaccato allo stampo (in ogni
caso è probabile rimanga un po' <i>craterica</i>, vedi il mio
esempio ;) ). Inoltre questo ragionamento segue il concetto base di
questo dolce: senza nessuna traccia di grasso (in realtà inteso
come burro o olio), nemmeno nello stampo. Credo che sia abbastanza
facile capire che questo è possibile solo se si usa lo stampo
originale. Detto questo, vi informo che comunque l'alternativa più
diffusa (io non garantisco, non so dirvi se funziona realmente) è
quella di usare uno stampo a ciambella dai bordi alti, da ungere con
un filo d'olio vegetale o gli spray per dolci. Io se fossi in voi
non oserei. Questo che vi ho proposto era il mio primo tentativo, e
nonostante abbia seguito il procedimento in modo esatto, il dolce ha
leggermente faticato ad uscire e la superficie non è perfettamente
omogenea e senza imperfezioni. Secondo me non c'è partita. ;)</span></div>

<li><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">le dosi del frosting
variano a piacere. Quelle fornite sono approssimate ma va molto a
gusti. Gestite le quantità di yogurt e zucchero a seconda di quanto
desiderate decorare la torta, e ugualmente bilanciate gli
ingredienti in base al risultato che volete ottenere (più dolce o
più naturale).</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;">I'm
always keen (madly keen?!) to put flowers everywhere, lately. I'm
surrounded by posies with carnations, chrysanthemums and crowfoots
(these three are my favorite ;) ). I spent more time by the florist
and in greenhouses than in gastronomic shops (and in my case that's
worrying, trust me! :) ). Everywhere at home there are
country-flowers bunches, vases and compositions. They're so lovely
and make me smile. Actually I didn't believe to own the green thumb.
Even though I've always helped mum, who's a great passionate of
gardening, I didn't care so much about the topic. I loved decorations
of the experts and floral design in general, but I've never tried to
create something by myself. A bit ago, while I was reading a
lifestyle magazine, the bulb in my head lighted up. In fact, a few
days later I picked up scissors and a florist's wreath and I created
this <i>spring wreath, </i>in a mostly improvised studio. The idea
comes from a picture I had in my head since a while. An old wood
front door, a wrought iron handle and this wreath, hung with a white
ribbon. </span></span>

you probably know I simply go crazy for the rustic style (even a bit

it depending on the kind of environment and intern you choose. It's
perfect in a country cottage as well as in a an elegant city flat.
Even if I believe wood hasn't any rivals. ;)</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;">Well,
the lifestyle part I was waiting for is now unveiled (you find the
tutorial description before the recipe). But now it's time to
describe you the recipe. It's a fluffy <i><b>angel cake with
raspberries and a yogurt glaze</b></i>. The most spongy and softest
cake I've known. So terribly light and yummy. A sweet white puff. The
simple flavor of the base is enriched by the acidulous of the
raspberries and it's in contrast with the yogurt glaze. A wonderful
cake for a tea-time in the garden, with some pink and white flags and
a strawberries lemonade. And striped and dotted straws, obviously.
Unavoidable. </span></span>

with the green branches (including green carnations). Cut with

of the stem and insert them directly in the wreath. Start from the
left half of the shape and keep to the right side ,in a clockwise
way (probably it's the opposite for lefties). Cover the whole shape,
trying to give symmetry and mixing the types of flowers, until you
get a balanced result.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;">The
choice of flowers and plants is absolutely personal. It depends on
your tastes, the availability of products, the result you want to
get and the occasion. Ask your fav florist for advices.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;">The
wreath is really perfect as a centerpiece for the table or a
furniture. It's not so apt to be hung up on a front door. In fact,
even if it has a specific waterproof base, the risk to moist the
door is very high (above all if you own a wood door). Furthermore
it's pretty heavy, you would have to hang it with spikes and hammer
and so ruin the door. </span></span>

<li><div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;">The
composition lives for 3-4 days, but it depends on the choice of the
flowers. My advice is to spray it with fresh water every day (except
for the day you create it) so that the foam is always a bit moist.
Furthermore if green branches are more resistant while the flowers
wither, you can change these last ones with fresh substitutes. In
this way you will use it for a longer time.</span></span></div>

Add carefully flour and whisk with a bowl scraper, up and down. Pay
attention to lumps, your mixture should be homogeneous. Pour 1/3 of
the dough into the cake mold. Put part of the raspberries, pressing
them a bit into the dough and cover with other cake mixture. Keep
doing this until you end, covering obviously the last layer with the
dough. Level with care. Bake to 180° for 20-25 minutes until the
crust is gold, checking anyway the baking with a toothpick.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;">IMPORTANT:
this is a matter which always comes out when we talk about angel
cake, so I will anticipate it. “Is it necessary to own the
specific angel cake mold or is it allowed to use other homemade
alternatives?” . I'll answer honestly, depending on my opinion and
personal experience, I think it's a pretty subjective matter. Well,
yes, for me the original mold is basically essential. As you
probably know, the peculiarity of this product is that it has got,
except high edges, some supports which help to cool the cake upside
down. In this way you can turn it out without problems, avoiding
that the cake hangs up on the mold borders (it's easy it will be a
bit “crateral” anyway, look my case ;) ). I think is pretty easy
to understand that you will have this result just if you use the
original mold. Furthermore this thinking follows the basic concept
of this sweet: without any kind of fat (as butter or vegetable oil),
not even in the mold. I give you anyway the other most common
alternative (but I don't guarantee, I don't know if it really
works), that's to use a classic bundt cake mold with high edges and
grease it with vegetable oil or baking spray.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;">This
one was my first attempt and even if I exactly followed every step,
it was a bit hard to turn the cake out and, as you can see, the
surface isn't perfectly homogenous. So for me there's no battle. ;) </span></span>

<span style="font-size: small;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;">the
doses of the frosting are personal. Those ones I gave you are
approximately right but it depends on you. Check the quantity of
yogurt and sugar depending on the result you want to get (a lot of
decoration or less of it) and balance the ingredients so that you
can have the right flavor you desired (sweeter or more natural). </span></span></span>

saluto velocissimo, con questa dolcissima torta-agnello, decorata in
due versioni. Perfetta per il pic-nic di Pasquetta. :)</span></div>

Grattugiare la scorzetta dei lime e ricavarne il succo. Aggiungerli

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Ho
imparato a farmi sorprendere dalla vita. Fino a poco tempo fa credevo
fosse solo questione di programmi. Organizzazione e metodo. Una sorta
di scaletta, a punti. </span>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Ho
trascorso gran parte del mio tempo a scriverla, a costruirla. Spesso
credo anche di aver perso alcune occasioni, alcuni momenti. La mia
concentrazione e devozione al programma erano esagerate. Così doveva
andare, così dovevo fare. Non si discuteva. </span>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Con
il tempo- ce n'è voluto- ho capito molte cose. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Ho
aperto gli occhi, o meglio, ho tolto il paraocchi. Ero stata
rinchiusa in una rigidità assurda. Quel senso di dovere che mi ero
auto-imposta. Una prigione, nella quale vigeva la Perfezione. Le
Certezze erano i pilastri della struttura. E poi c'era lei, la
Sicurezza, che mi sussurrava che finchè sarei rimasta tra quei
limiti, non avrei potuto sbagliare. Non mi sarei mai persa.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Il
paraocchi, sì. Quello che non mi faceva vedere bene la mia realtà.
Le altre, di strade. Proprio quelle. Con una moltitudine di curve,
deviazioni. Tante salite e le rispettive discese. Qualche buca e
qualche sassolino, nel mezzo. Le piazzole, dove fermarsi e riprendere
fiato. Tutti, prima o poi, ne hanno bisogno. </span>

</span>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Sicuramente
erano meno chiare di quell'autostrada infinita, perfettamente
asfaltata ed illuminata. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Ma
valeva la pena conoscerle, quelle stradine sterrate.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Un
giorno, senza che me n'accorgessi, ho intravisto una nuova Me. Vedevo
le cose in maniera diversa. Anche quelle che già conoscevo. Mi sono
vista. Davvero.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Spaventata,
elettrizzata e confusa hosentito la trasformazione. Scegliendo quel
cioccolatino dalla mia scatola (e probabilmente avrei scelto quello
comunque, in un'altra vita o in un altro modo), ho trovato
tutt'altro. Sono atterrata su un terreno che avevo sempre considerato
fragile, instabile. Ero svestita. Non avevo più certezze con cui
proteggermi. La versione chiara e intatta (impeccabile) del mio mondo
era scomparsa. Ci sono rimasta per un po', a respirare. Ho iniziato a
scoprire una nuova aria. Ero curiosa di ascoltarla, di ascoltarmi.
Volevo vedere dove mi avrebbe condotta. </span>

</span>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Mi

essere ristabilito.</span></div>

ricetta oggi nominerò solo i tratti principali. Proviene da <a href="http://www.amazon.it/Jerusalem-Yotam-Ottolenghi/dp/0091943744">uno dei miei libri di food preferiti</a>, è la mia versione prediletta delle
polpette. Un piatto ricco dai sapori freschi che si intersecano con
quelli più decisi ed aromatici. Il retrogusto delle spezie <i>barahat*
(</i>homemade, per me), il carattere della carne d'agnello, le erbe
aromatiche fresche e il contorno di fave che smorza i sapori delle
polpette. </span>

cipollotti con dell'olio, affinchè si ammorbidiscano. Aggiungere poi

sfumare con il succo di lime, salare e pepare. Lasciar cuocere per
7-10 minuti. </span>

programs. Organisation and method. Kind of point by point schedule.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">I passed most of my time
writing and building it. I often guess I lost some occasions and
moments 'cause of it. My concentration and devotion were exagerated
and only focused on the plan. So it had to go, so I had to do. It was
really indisputable. </span>

</span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">I opened my eyes, or
better, I took off (I'd say I threw away) the blinkers. I've been
closed in a absurd rigidity. That strong and damned sense of duty
that I imposed to myself. A prison, where Perfection ruled.
Certainties were the pillars. And then She, Security, always
whispered me I wouldn't have been lost or failed until I've been
ramained among the limits.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">Blinkers, yes. That thing
impeding me to watch my reality. The other paths. Precisely them.
With lots of turns, deviations. Many rises and the respective slopes.
Some holes and some small stones in the middle. The lay-bys where to
stop and breathe again. Everyone, sooner or later, need to do it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">I was frightened, thrilled

transformation. I found quite another thing, choosing that specifical

way or an other).</span></div>

</span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">I landed on a fragile and
unstable soil. I was undressed. I didn't have certainties with which
protect myself anymore. The clear and intact (mostly flawless)
version of my world disappeared. I stood a while, breathing. I
started to discover a new air. I was tremendously curious to listen
to it, to listen to myself. I wanted to see where it would have
brought me. </span>

my cherished version for eating meatballs. A rich dish with fresh
flavors crossing with those stronger and more spiced ones. The
aftertaste of <i>barahat* </i>spices (for me homemade), the character
of lamb meat, the aromatic herbs and the side dish made by broad
beans, muffles the tastes of meatballs.</span></div>

<li><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">you can serve the
meatballs with white rice (such as basmati) or an other side dish
you like. I personally think that broad beans are a rich and
nutritious side dish by itself, so they can be enough.</span></div>

<li><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">If you don't like lamb
meat you can substitute the same dose of meat with “sausages
paste” (the inside part of sausages). In this case take care with
the seasoning. It's probably you won't need to add other salt in it.

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Il
sapore finto (per di più gommoso) e piatto del cibo confezionato mi
ha sempre dato ai nervi. Odiavo -odio tutt'ora- il fatto che ogni
boccone (dalla patatina fritta al pane da hamburger) avesse lo stesso
aroma. Il gusto confuso e difficilmente decifrabile, a metà strada
tra una borsa di plastica e un pezzo di cartone, ha fatto in modo
che per molto tempo hamburger, patatine fritte, nuggets & co. non
apparissero nel menu da scegliere durante i miei pasti fuori casa. O
meglio, mi correggo, da allora sono sempre stati piatti che sceglievo
solamente nei posti che conoscevo (per così dire “fidati”). Per
quanto riguarda le </span><i>freis</i><span style="font-style: normal;">
riuscivo a chiudere un occhio, per il resto invece, sono stati sapori
che avevo evidato, quasi dimenticato.</span></span></div>

<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Credo
di non mangiare un nugget da almeno sei anni (e non mi mancano
nemmeno, sarò sincera), la stessa cosa però non è successa con gli
hamburger. A volte cedevo al burger pronto del macellaio di fiducia
che mettevo in un panino semplice al latte (perchè quelli
confezionati, con il loro sapore dolciastro da “scaduto” non li
sopporto proprio, non so se rende l'idea </span><span style="font-family: Apple Kleur-Emoji;">;)</span><span style="font-style: normal;">),
o a quello del mio baracchino storico (che però, obiettivamente,
hamburger vero non è).</span></span></div>

buona. </span></span>

con formaggio blu, mele e concasse' di pomodori</span></span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"> (versione carnivora): è un </span><i>cheeseburger</i><span style="font-style: normal;">,
rivisitato in una chiave gourmand. La carne dal sapore indubbiamente
strong (già di suo), il formaggio erborinato che si scioglie (non
mettetene troppo, altrimenti copre senza pietà i restanti
ingredienti</span><span style="font-family: Apple Color Emoji;"><span style="font-style: normal;"> :)</span></span><span style="font-style: normal;">)

della mucca felice</span> </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;">(chiamatelo,
se vi piace di più, vegetariano): è la versione vegetale
dell'hamburger classico. Solo legumi (nel burger) e verdure, tanto
sapore (i burger vegetali sono molto aromatici, richiamano i falafel
libanesi) e, fatta eccezione per il pane, poche calorie. Ecco come
piace a me: lattuga, cappuccio rosso e bianco, pomodori, cipolla
rossa e immancabile ketchup bio oppure homemade (e io qui sgarro!</span><span style="font-family: Apple Farben-Emoji;"> :P</span><span style="font-style: normal;">).
Una piccola bomba vegetariana, certamente più leggera, ma non per
questo meno gustosa. A prescindere dalle proprie scelte alimentari, è
un'ottima soluzione da alternare alla versione di carne. </span></span>

idee ultra deliziose, sane (il fatto che siano fatte a casa non
significa che non siano caloriche, ci tengo a specificarlo) e

sbizzarrirvi e creare nuove combinazioni e abbinamenti da inserire

burro con lo zucchero a crema ed unire <b>tre</b> uova, una per
volta. Aggiungere gli elementi secchi, quindi farina, lievito e sale
e amalgamare con cura. Praticare un buco al centro della “fontana”
e versare il latte. Iniziare ad impastare, fino ad ottenere un corpo
appiccicoso ma consistente (l'operazione, ovviamente, può essere
fatta con un'impastatrice o planetaria). Senza aggiungere altra
farina, coprire con uno strofinaccio umido e lasciar lievitare in un

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Dopo la prima lievitazione
re-impastate delicatamente la pasta su una spianatoia ben infarinata.
Lavorare l'impasto per qualche minuto e dividerlo poi in 8-10 palline
(o più se volete panini più piccoli) e posizionarle su teglie
rivestite di carta forno e leggermente infarinate. Ricoprire con uno
strofinaccio umido e lasciar lievitare ancora un'oretta, sempre in un

fare (io sono la prima restia nel congelare le pietanze) se pensate
di non utilizzare tutti i panini o volete averli pronti all'uso

congelateli avvolti in pellicola. Perdono leggermente la loro

<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">After
couple (moreover the unique ones) attempts when I was 10 by
“</span><i>McEverything</i><span style="font-style: normal;">” (I
remeber that going to the city and eating in a fast-food was the
coolest sunday pastime for families when I was a little girl, but
frankly I still don't understand the utility and above all the
uncertain appeal of it), I deserted for long any dish lookingalike
</span><i>junk food</i><span style="font-style: normal;">.</span></span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">The fake and flat flavour
(mostly gummy) of packaged food has always made me nerve-racking. I
hated (I still do) that every single bite (from the potato fries to
the burger bun) had the same aroma. The confused and hardly
decipherable taste, half way among a plastic bag and a piece of
carton, made the lack of hamburgers, fries, nuggets & co.
possible from the menus of my outside-home meals. Or better, from
then on, they have always been dishes I choose just in trusly places
that I really knew.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">I turned a blind eye with
fries, have to say it, but for the rest I really can say they were
flavors I avoided and almost forgot.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">I
guess I don't eat a nugget since at least six years (to be honest, I
don't miss them so much), but it wasn't the same with hamburgers.
Sometimes I gave in to my butcher of trust's burger and I ate it in a
simple milk roll ('cause I really can't stand those packeged with
that sweetish and exipired-simulating taste, don't know if I got the
idea across</span><span style="font-family: Apple Color Emoji;"> ;)</span><span style="font-style: normal;">)

named hamburger for real).</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">A

cheese, apples and tomatoes concasse' burger</span> </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;">(carnivorous
version): it's a </span><i>cheeseburger</i><span style="font-style: normal;">,
revisited in a gourmand key. The meat has undoubtedly a strong flavor
(in and of itself), the melted blue cheese (dont' put too much of
it, it will cover other ingredients merciless </span><span style="font-family: Apple färg-emoji;">:P</span><span style="font-style: normal;">),
the sweetness of apple muffles the sapid of the rest, the inevitable
salad and concassé tomatoes. A small bomb of savors. </span></span>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Fine College;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #783f04;">happy
cow burger</span> </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;">(call it
veggie if you prefer): it's the vegetable version of the classic
hamburger. Only legumes (in the burger) and vegatables, lots of savor
(the burgers are really zesty, recalling Lebanese falafels) and,
except for the bun, few calories. This is how I like it with:
lettuce, red and white coleslaw, tomatoes, red onion and the
essential bio or homemade ketchup (I confess, I buy it by the
bio-market </span><span style="font-family: Apple farge-emoji;">:P</span><span style="font-style: normal;">).
A small veggie bomb, lighter for sure, but anyway terribly yummy.
Regardless of your dietary choice, it's a great solution to alternate
with the meat version.</span></span></div>

butter with sugar, until you get a soft and light cream. Then add
<b>three </b>eggs, one at time. Mix dry ingredients, so flour, mother
yeast and salt and combine well with the butter-eggs mixture. Make a
hole in the middle of the “fountain” and pour the milk. Knead
with care until you obtain a sticky but compact dough (you can for
sure use a kneader or a planetary mixer). Without adding further
flour, cover with a damp dishcloth and let rise in a warm place for
at least 2-3 hours.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">After the first rising,
knead the dough again, lighlty, on a well flour-dusted board. Work it
for a few minutes and divide it into 8-10 small balls (or more if
you want mini buns) and put them on a tray covered with greaseproof
paper and some flour. Cover with a damp dishcloth and let rise for an
other hour, always in a warm place. </span>

<ul>
<li><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">* The product I used for
has to be added in percent 7% over the total of the flour ( in our
case 42 g). Katie suggests to use ½ teaspoon of yeast.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">If you realize that the
buns are too much or you want to have them ready for use (I know
there isn't always the time for baking them fresh) you can freeze
them bound in plastic wrap. I'm the first disliking frozen food,
they surely lose a bit their consistency, but you know, I think it's
anyway a thousandfold better than a packaged one (never ever!).
Anyway they keep, always in plastic wrap, for 2-3 days.</span></div>

gli amici, di sempre. Un tavolo basso, preso ad un mercatino vintage
di Portland, apparecchiato in un'affascinante e caratteristica
(terribilmente strampalata) maniera. Con bicchieri, posate e piatti
spaiati, anch'essi di un mercatino dell'antiquariato. I taglieri di
legno antichi, una tovaglia di cotone leggermente stropicciata beige
e tovaglioli ricamati a mano. Un vaso sbeccato con peonie fresche, al
centro. Bianche, rosa pallido e fucsia. Un telo e qualche cuscino
sparso dove sedere. Qualche istantanea di una polaroid. Il cestino di
vimini con la tracolla di pelle. La birra fredda, doppio malto,
belga. </span>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Per prima cosa, preparare il mash di
patate dolci. Preriscaldare il forno a 180°. Pelare le patate dolci,
lavarle, tamponarle e tagliarle a cubetti. Metterle in una teglia con
un filo di olio, condire leggermente con sale e pepe e cuocere in
forno. Nel frattempo tagliare a spicchi sottili la cipolla. Quando
sono trascorsi 20-30 minuti dall'inizio della cottura delle patate,
aggiungere alla teglia le cipolle, il peperoncino (sia fresco che in
polvere/scaglie) e ancora un filo d'olio. Mescolare ed infornare di
nuovo per ultimare la cottura di ulteriori 20-30 minuti ( le patate
devono essere ben arrostite ma morbide e non eccessivamente
croccanti). Quando le patate saranno pronte, lasciar da parte e
preparare le salse di accompagnamento. </span>

</span><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;"><i>salsa al pomodoro a freddo</i></span><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;">,
tritare finemente i pomodori e l'altra metà della cipolla rossa. In
una ciotola mescolarli con il peperoncino fresco e il coriandolo
fresco. Condire con un filo d'olio e un pizzico di sale. Assaggiare
ed aggiustare eventualmente. </span></span>

</span><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;"><i>guacamole speciale</i></span><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;">,
pelare gli avocado e tagliarli a pezzi. Metterli in un mixer da

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Per il pollo, tagliare il petto a pezzi
medi o a striscioline e metterlo in una pirofila. Condire con
dell'olio, la paprika, il cumino, il peperoncino fresco, un pizzico
di quello in polvere. Mescolare e salare leggermente. Lasciar
marinare per almeno 10-15 minuti. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Cuocere poi la carne in una padella
antiaderente poco oleata, aggiungendo anche la marinatura,
arrostendo la carne in modo che si crei una crosticina esterna, ma
che l'interno rimanga morbido e non stopposo.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Quando anche la carne è pronta,
preparare le quesadillas. Prendere una tortilla, spalmarci sopra uno
strato di mash, aggiungere qualche bocconcino di pollo, grattugiarci
una generosa dose di formaggio e una spolverata di coriandolo fresco.
Chiudere con un'altra tortilla e continuare con lo stesso
procedimento fino ad esaurire gli ingredienti.</span></div>

con un po' di carta assorbente, tostare le quesadillas per 2-3 minuti
per parte, fino a che diventano croccanti e dorate e il formaggio si
è leggermente sciolto.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Nell'insieme
il piatto è decisamente piccante (d'altronde è una ricetta
messicana no?! <span style="font-family: Applen väri-emoji;">;)</span>)
essendoci il peroncino (fresco e in polvere) sia nella carne, che
nelle patate e anche nella salsa a freddo. Ovviamente le dosi
possono essere personalizzate: diminuite o aumentate a seconda dei
vostri gusti. Se i vostri commensali non amano il piccante, non
occorre dirlo, cambiate programma e ricetta <span style="font-family: Apple farge-emoji;">:P</span>)</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">gli
avocado della guacamole devono essere maturi al punto giusto, sono
la chiave della buona riuscita della salsa. Il mio consiglio è di
aspettare (non troppo, altrimenti saranno inutilizzabili) e di
cercare un prodotto valido. Purtroppo non è sempre facile, per
questo vi consiglio di rinunciare alla salsa se non trovate gli
avocado giusti. Credetemi: meglio restare senza guacamole piuttosto
che prepararne una immangiabile! </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Apple Kleur-Emoji;">;)</span></span></div>

bought in a vintage market of Portland, set with a fascinating and

plates, everything also coming from a antique market. Old wood
cutting boards, a lightly creased beige cotton tablecloth and
hand-embroidered napkins. A chipped vase with fresh peonies, in the
middle. White, light pink and fuchsia. A cloth and some scattered
pillows where to sit. Some snap-shots with a polaroid. A wicker
basket with the leather shoulder strap. A cold belgian beer, double
malt. </span>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">First prepare the sweet
potatoes mash. Preheat the oven to 180°. Peel the potatoes, wash,
dry and cut them into pieces. Put them in a tray with a line of oil,
season a bit with salt and pepper and cook in oven. In the meantime
cut the onion into thin wedges. After 20-30 minutes of cooking, add
the onion, the pepper (both fresh and ground) to the potatoes and
another line of oil. Mix all and go on with the oven cooking for
other 20-30 minutes (potatoes should be well roasted but at the same
time soft and not extremly crunchy). When potatoes are ready, let them
aside and prepare the salsas.</span></div>

peel avocados and cut them into pieces. Put them in a blender or a

</span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">Recover the
potatoes+onions (almost cooled) and mix them in the blender to create
the mash. </span>

</span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">For the chicken, cut the
meat into medium pieces or into little strips and put it in a pan.
Season with the oil, then add paprika, cumin, fresh pepper and a
pinch of ground red pepper. Mix and salt a bit. Let it marinate for
almost 10-15 minutes.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">Cook it in a pan with a
few oil and the marinade liquid too. Roast the meat until you have an
external crust but the inside part has is soft and absolutely not
gristly.</span></div>

</span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">When also the chicken is
ready, prepare the quesadillas. Take one tortilla, spread a layer of
sweet potatoes mash over it, add some piece of chicken, grate a huge
dose of cheese and a wipe of fresh coriander. Close with an other
tortilla on the top and go on until you finish your ingredients.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">In the same pan you cooked

quesadillas for 2-3 minutes for each side, until they get golden and
crispy and cheese is lightly melted.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #783f04;">Notes</span>:</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></li>
<li><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">You can also serve
quesadillas cold. They'll lost a bit their stringy character
(cheese) but they're great served at room temperature. They're right
an awesome idea for the first outdoors spring picnics.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">The recipe's so easy
instead the preparation is a little long but absolutely simple. The
important thing is to organize all, if you'll follow my procedure
you won't have any problems.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
plate is definitely spicy (it's a mexican recipe, right?! </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Applen väri-emoji;">;)</span></span><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
) because of the presence of pepper (fresh and ground) both in the
meat and in the potatoes, oh, and in the cold salsa too. Obviously
you can personalize the doses: reduce or increase red pepper as you
like. If your tablemates don't like spicy food, goes without saying,
change the plan and the recipe </span></span><span style="font-family: Apple farge-emoji; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">:P</span></span><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">)</span></span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">avocados have to be ripe
at the right point, they're the key for the good success of the
salsa. My advice for you is to wait (not too much, otherwise they'll
become useless) and to look for a good product. Unfortunately that's
not so easy, I know. For this I suggest to renounce to the salsa if
you don't find the right avocados. Trust me: it's better without
guacamole than with an uneatable one!<span style="font-family: Apple Kleur-Emoji;"> ;)</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Nei
film americani vedevo di frequente una scena specifica. Il campeggio
tra amici, in calde notti d'estate, tra la immense montagne canadesi
o dello stato del Washington. Quei week end improvvisati, quelli
dell'ultimo momento. In un bosco sperduto, lontano. Un mondo quasi
irreale. L'immancabile laghetto ed il pontile di legno
scricchiolante, per sedersi e - a gambe all'aria – con le punte
dei piedi, disengnare cerchi a filo d'acqua. Le confidenze ed i
segreti confessati tra ragazze, mentre i maschietti raccolgono la
famosa legna per il fuoco. Sguardi complici, parole silenziose e sane
risate. Un barbecue quasi perfetto, con l'insalata di patate. La
birra ghiacciata, dalla bottiglia. Una tavolata rustica nel prato.
Le lanterne volanti da lanciare a fine serata, con un plaid avvolto
al corpo e mille desideri per un fututo grandioso. I lumini accesi
nell'acqua. I bagni pazzi di mezzanotte. Le tende pronte per
accogliere quelle misere ore di sonno previste per la notte e le
canzoni country-rock, cantate o strimpellate attorno ad un falò
acceso. I marshmallows abbrustoliti sul rametto. Gli <i>s'mores</i>.
Il dolce da campeggio per eccellenza. Quel panino di biscotto
integrale ripieno di marshmallows sciolti al fuoco e cioccolato a
pezzi morbido, quasi fuso. Il<i> must-have </i>di ogni campeggio
americano/canadese che si rispetti. È qui, infatti, che la scena del
campeggio, quella famosa, si fa sempre più nitida nella mia mente.
Quella delle chiacchiere post-barbecue, attorno al fuoco centrale,
con i bastoncini in mano e questi dolciumi super americani dorati, pronti per essere
addentati in un fantastico <i>s'more</i>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stavo
cucinando un brownies extrafondente (strano eh?! ;)). Poi ho
ricordato che tempo prima avevo preso dei marshmallow bianchi (non
chiedetemi il perchè, sono rimasti in dispensa per parecchio tempo
dato che in purezza non riesco a mangiarli). La torta stava cuocendo
in forno, guardavoquesti piccoli trocnhcetti di zucchero senza capire cosa mi stesse
frullando in testa. Poi ho realizzato. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;">L'avevo vista da Jamie,
quest'idea. Una base di brownie al cioccolato classico coperta da
cicciosi marshmallow dorati e una sbriciolata di biscotti secchi in superficie. È una sorta di </span><i>s'more scomposto</i><span style="font-style: normal;">,
gli stessi gusti ripresi in un dolce di natura completamente
differente. Forse più sensato nel mio contesto.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">1 cucchiaino di lievito

</span>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">30 g di biscotti secchi (

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Sciogliere burro e
cioccolato a bagnomaria. Sbattere le uova con lo zucchero fino a che
il composto si gonfia, risultano soffice e chiaro. Aggiungere a
quest'ultimo il cioccolato sciolto, la farina, il lievito ed il cacao
e mescolare. Versare l'impasto in una teglia da brownies e cuocere
per 25-30 minuti a 200° (controllare la cottura con lo stecco).
Lasciare raffreddare il dolce, una volta pronto. Coprire la
superficie del brownie con i marshmallows e passare al grill del forno
per 3 minuti, finchè sono leggermente dorati. Spolverare con una
sbriciolata di biscotti e servire tipiedi.</span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">- la base di brownie è
grandiosa anche come ricetta singola, non occorre dirlo. In questo
caso è perfetta perchè avendo un gusto quasi tendente all'amaro
(data la presenza del cioccolato al 75%) contrasta meravigliosamente
la dolcezza quasi esagerata dei marshmallows, equilibrando il dolce
che non risulta per nulla stucchevole.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">Since I was a little girl,
I've always had a strong weakness for the idea of <i>summer camping</i>.
Not the italian-style one
(<i>camper+equippedcamping+everykindofnormalcomfortjustonfourwheels</i>)
or neither those summer campings for teenagers.</span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">When I was watching american
movies I frequently saw a specific and clear scene. Camping with
friends, in hot summer nights, through those immense canadian or
Washington state's mountains. Those improvised week-ends, organized
at the last minute. In a lost and far away wood. An almost unreal
world. The unavoidable small lake and the creaky wood jetty to sit
down head over heels, drawing circles on the water with the tips of
toes. Confidences and confessed secrets among girls, while guys are
picking up the wood for fire. Knowing looks, quiet words and healthy
laughs. An almost perfect barbecue, with potato salad. Frozen beer,
from the bottle sure! A rustic table on the field. Flying lanterns at
the end of the evening, with a warm plaid bound around the body and
thousand desires for a great future. Little lights on the water.
Those crazy midnight baths. Ready tents for the few sleep hours
expected for the night and country-rock songs sung and strummed around a burning bonfire. Roasted marshmallows on a thin branch.
<i>S'mores.</i> The camping sweet par excellence. That whole-cookies
sandwich stuffed with hot marshmallows and melted chocolate pieces.
It's a <i>must-have</i> for each worthy of respect american/canadian
camping. At this point the scene of my dreamy camping is brighter
more and more. That one with</span><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;"> post-dinner</span><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;"> chatters , around the central
fire, with wood sticks and golden marshmallows, done to be put in a
fantastic <i>s'more</i>. </span>

</span>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">Exactly, <i>s'more</i>.
The contraction of <i>“something more”, </i>the thing that
completes the vignette. The event. A funny and unique sweet, that has
sense just in particular moments.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">I was thinking ( as I
usually do) and I was imagining that small desire. The rustic summer
camping. That one you feel like living browsing the slick pages of

<a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/2014/01/chocolate-beet-cake-finally.html">here</a>, has its right time and its right place. <i>S'mores </i>in that

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">I was baking an extradark
brownies (so strange right?! ;) haha!) and I remembered I bought some
classic marshmallows (don't ask me why, they stood for so long in the
pantry since I honestly can't eat them alone). The cake was baking in

was swirling in my mind. Then I realized. </span>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">I saw this idea by Jamie.
A classic chocolate-brownie base covered with fluffy golden
marshmallows and dry crumbled biscuits on the top. It's kind of

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">the brownie base is a
great recipe for a simple and classic darkchoco brownie, goes
without saying. In this case it's really perfect since 75% dark
chocolate gives a lightly bitter flavor, that's fantastic with
the almost exaggerated sweetness of marshmallows.</span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">L'ho
scoperto tardi, tardissimo. Da buona Heidi-girl ho dovuto aspettare
un bel po' per conoscerlo. Sono sempre stata curiosissima, di
assaggiare e di sperimentare. Fin da piccola. Per motivi prettamente
tecnici e pratici non è stato possibile per tempo e la mia
permanenza tra canederli e polenta è stata assai lunga. ;)</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Il
mio primo jappo (ovviamente composto da solo sushi) a 16 anni, il
primo indiano a 17, il primo libanese a 18 , il primo tex-mex (è da
considerare etnico?!) a 19. Contando (ovviamente) solamente gli
assaggi seri di cucina extra-italiana (e cancellando il cinese a 10
anni, con il quale ho ancora un rapporto difficile, non so perchè!).

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Impazzisco
per i sapori particolari, lontani. A volte il solo fatto di poter
“degustare” culture e tradizioni gastronomiche mi fa viaggiare,
con la testa ovviamente (credo il mezzo che ho utilizzato
maggiormente per la mia scoperta dell'universo ;) ). Terre
sconosciute, nelle quali non ho mai messo piede, fisicamente. Che ho
“ visto” in un mondo puramente metafisico e sensoriale. </span>

<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">A
volte una serata in realtà come le altre può diventare una piccola

magici, affascinanti e così distanti.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Come
avrete potuto intuire, quindi, adoro mangiare etnico. Fuori. Al
ristorante o da amici ( e io sono tremendamente fortunata, a
riguardo! ;) ). A casa però lo cucino raramente. E la maggior parte
delle volte con mille modifiche che rendono il risultato
tremendamente infedele dall'originale. </span>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">La
<i>miso soup</i> con una miriade di alghe-verdurine, spessa (sembra
quasi un minestrone all'orientale, niente a che vedere con quella dei
sushi-bar, che mi fa letteralmente impazzire!). Il <i>riso alla
cantonese</i> mum-version (anche questo nemmeno minimamente simile
all'originale, a parte il nome). E poi il salmone marinato. A modo
mio. Tranci (o bocconcini, come preferite) di salmone cotti nel wok.
Io li chiamo all'orientale - nella marinata utilizzo ingredienti
provenienti da cucine orientali, ormai praticamente diventate parte
della cultura gastronomica occidentale, hihi! - data la presenza
della salsa di soia e dello zenzero fresco. Poi ci metto il miele,
per contrastare il sapido della soia. E qui ogni tentativo di
avvicinarmi all'etnico svanisce.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Obbiettivamente
non saprei come definire questa ricetta. Potrebbe sembrare giapponese
(forse una sorta di cugino del Teriyaki, lontano però ;) ),
credetemi che la sua classificazione è un'impresa ardua.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Forse

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Fatto
sta che questo è uno dei miei modi preferiti (se non quello in
assoluto) per cucinare/mangiare il salmone. Dire che è semplice da
fare, è esagerare. E' vergognosamente banale :) </span>

un piatto fondo o una terrina posizionare il pesce e versarci la
marinata. Lasciare riposare per almeno 30-40 minuti in frigo, o in
luogo fresco, coperto da pellicola. Cuocere il pesce nel wok caldo (o
padella antiaderente) con un filo di olio evo per qualche minuto.
Aggiungere il liquido rimasto dalla marinata e lasciar caramellare,
facendo restringere la glassa. Servire con riso bianco o altri
contorni.</span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">I
discovered it late, terribly late. As a perfect Heidi-girl does, I
had to wait a lot to experience it. I've always been curious to
taste and try new flavors. Since I was a little girl. Unfortunately,
it hasn't been possible for a long time for mainly technical and
pratical reasons and so my permanence around “candereli” and
polenta was pretty long. ;) My first japanese (obviously composed
only by sushi) when I was 16, the first indian when I was 17, the
first lebanese when I was 18 and the first tex-mex (is it definable
ethnic?!) when I was 19. Obviously I'm just considering the serious
degustations of no-italian food (deleting my chinese experience
when I was 10, with which I still have a strange rapport, I don't
know why!).</span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">I'm
crazy for particular and distant flavors. Sometimes the only
possibility to sample new cultures and gastronomic traditions makes
me travelling, with the head obviously (I think it's the “transport”
I used the most for my discovery of universe ;) ). Unknown lands,
which I've never seen phisically but merely in a metaphysic and
sensorial world. </span>

<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">One
evening, not so different from the usual, can sometimes become a
small (and misleading) escape thorugh the smells and plates of magic,
fasciniting and far away places. </span>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">As
you could understand, so, I love eating ethnic, dining it out above
all. At the restaurant or at friend's (and I'm so lucky regarding
this! ;) ). But I rarely cook it at home, and if I do it most of the
times there are so many modifications, making the result so terribly
unauthentic to the orginal version.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">

<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;"><i>Miso
soup </i>with lots of wakame seaweeds and vegetables, very thick
(looking more like an oriental minestrone, nothing similar to that
one served in sushi-bars, which I completely love <3). <i>Cantonese
rice</i> with mum-version (it's the same for this, nothing close
to the authentic recipe, exept for the name). And then marinated
salmon. My way cooked. I named it asian-way cooked salmon since in
the marinade I use two typical asian products, which are soja sauce
and fresh ginger, effectively two almost occidental became
ingredients. I put then honey to contrast the salty flavor of soja.
And here each attempt to get close to ethnic food disappears.</span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">Objectively
I wouldn't know how to define this recipe. It could look like a
japanese preparation (maybe as a cousin of Teriyaki, a far away kin
;) ), but trust me, its classification is a hard work.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">Cut
the fish into the shape you prefer, steaks or nibbles. Prepare the
marinade mixing soja sauce, honey and sliced fresh ginger. In a deep
plate or in a terrine place the fish and pour the marinade. Let rest
for almost 30-40 minutes in the fridge, or in a cold place, covered
with plastic wrap. Cook the fish in a hot wok (or in a pan) with a
blade of oil for a few minutes. Add the left liquid from the marinade
and let candy and reduce the glaze. Serve with white rice or other
side dishes. </span>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">the
same preparation can be used with fresh tuna, if you want to find an
alternative. But salmon is softer and it melts in the mouth, since the
“meat” is fatter (and I like it more!).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">You
can give to the marinade a stronger and spicy flavor adding a pince

testa altrove, certo. Senza pensieri, per un po'. Percepisco quel
pizzico di incoscienza, bramo la leggerezza che ancora manca.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Confetti Stream; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Mi
preparo piano, vivo ogni momento, lo apprezzo. Scendo in cucina,
accolta dal calore e dall'atmosfera che solo quella stanza sa
regalare. Metto il grembiule (e non mi importa se tutte dicono che fa
</span></span><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;"><i>old </i></span><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;"><span style="font-style: normal;">e
nonna), e inizio a preparare la colazione, come si deve, solo per me.
Un bicchiere di succo d'arancia bio, un caffè (oggi, americano), una
mela succosa. Poi prendo la farina. Questa volta, la prima nella mia
vita, che </span></span><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;"><i>lievitadasola</i></span><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;"><span style="font-style: normal;">.
La setaccio. Poi zucchero, latte e uova. Quelli ci voglion sempre. E
anche il burro. Esageriamo. E ora? <i>Pikelets</i>?! Sìììì! Non per
tradire i fratelli americani. Non credo di farcela. I pancakes sono
insostituibili, inimitabili. I cugini australiani, sono una
declinazione </span></span><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;"><i>aussie</i></span><span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;"><span style="font-style: normal;">
dei <a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/2012/08/im-back.html">crumpets inglesi</a>, in realtà. A mio parere, li superano.
Spugnosi, tanto, alti e soffici. Molto diversi, curiosi. </span></span></span>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Cappa
alla massima potenza e qualche finestra aperta, inizia l'impresa (non
mi smentisco mai). Impasto dappertutto, mille piatti, piattini e

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">La
torre, alta e piuttosto in bilico, di <i>pikelets</i> fumanti. Ci siamo
quasi. Una banana, tagliata a fettine. Nocciole, tritate molto
grossolanamente. Ci guarnisco la torre. Infine, lo sciroppo d'acero.
Una generosissima colata di sciroppo d'acero. Ecco. </span> </div>

il grembiule, soddisfatta. Prendo le frittelle, la mia forchetta
preferita (vintage). Mi volto e guardo il caos che ho creato. Penso
che dovrei, mettere a posto, che sarebbe meglio. Non mi importa. Può
aspettare.</span></div>

farina e zucchero. Sbattere leggermente l'uovo e il latte, in un

secchi, sbattendo energicamente con un frusta, senza formare grumi.
La pastella risulterra molto densa e montata. Unire il burro fuso,
mescolando. Preparare una padella antiaderente ben imburrata.
Versarci qualche mestolo di pastella (in base alla dimensione della
padella) e far cuocere le frittelle. Far dorare entrambi i lati,
senza bruciarli. Continuare fino ad esaurire l'impasto, ricordando di
imburrare la padella quando ricominciate. Servire caldi, con banana,
nocciole e sciroppo d'acero, o con quello che più a voi piace. :)</span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">-
pikelets are pretty nutritious and not so light, so don't exaggerate
with garniture. They're heavenly yummy in the simple way they are,
with fresh fruit, classic icing-sugar or jams.</span></div>

indietro. Provare a rivivere momenti, ripercorrerli, senza

diverso, ancora legato al passato. Poco nitido. Surreale.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Li
ricordo ancora, i Buchteln caldi di Parigi. Quelli che vi ho nominato
<a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/p/about.html">qui</a>. Sì, avete capito bene. Buchteln a Parigi. Quelle piccole e
soffici palline di pasta lievitata ripiene di marmellata, che nella
tradizione ladina vengono servite con l'immancabile salsa alla
vaniglia (terribilmente <i>südtiroler, per me no grazie ;)! </i><span style="font-style: normal;">).
</span></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Li
ho ancora in testa. In un posto speciale, di Parigi. In realtà per
una serie infinita di motivi. Perchè obbiettivamente i Buchteln,
nella capitale francese, non centrano un granché. Forse sarebbe
stato più “normale” (odio, profondamente, la definizione di
normalità e qualsiasi sua declinazione, aggettivale o avverbiale),
parlarvi di un fantastico </span><i>pain au chocolat </i><span style="font-style: normal;">(ok,
credo che arriverà anche quello prima o poi ;), ne vado matta!) o di
una fragrante </span><i>baguette</i><span style="font-style: normal;">
casalinga (manca! Prossimamente devo provarci a farla in casa. Senza
pretese di superare i mastri fornai parigini, </span><i>ça va sans
dire</i><span style="font-style: normal;"> ;) ). </span></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Eppure
credetemi, non avrei potuto fare diversamente. Il profumo inebriante
di queste focaccine, che servite tiepide sono la fine del mondo, su
quel tronchetto di larice. Ero a Parigi, vero. Ma mi sentivo come a
casa. Mi sentivo cullata, un po' viziata. Rapita dalla magia e dall'
atmosfera che solo quella città sa dare. Passeggiare per il
Quartiere latino mi regalava momenti di pace e senerità. Mi
immedesimavo. Una piccola (e fasulla) <i>bohèmien,</i> incerta e
fragile per le vie ripide e strette del 5eme. Un atelier di scarti di
alta moda dove acquistare il più bel abitino nero di sempre, un
<i>salon de thé </i><span style="font-style: normal;">dalle pareti
verde acqua in una nascosta stradina interna, una libreria di vecchi,
impolverati ed ingialliti volumi di Baudelaire. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Seppur
insolita, questa combinazione buchteln-Paris rimarrà per sempre
nelle mie memorie. E forse non è detto che questa città, ancora una
volta, presto mi salverà. </span>

<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Ma
un saluto ed una dedica, la faccio anche all'origine autentico di
questo dolce: la Boemia (noi ladini, come gli austriaci ed i tedeschi
lo abbiamo ereditato).</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

anche lì, in parte, un nuovo inizio avrà il suo più stravagante (e
sostanzialmente utopico) compimento. :)</span></div>

a dare la forma di una pallina. Disporre i buchteln in una stampo da
torta imburrato, uno vicino all'altro. Spennellare le focaccine con
del burro fuso e lasciare riposare altri 15 minuti. Cuocere a 170°

<li><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">nella versione originale
del dolce (altoatesino) la marmellata che viene utilizzata è quella
di albicocche. Io preferisco quella di mirtilli rossi o ribes, però
potete scegliere quella che più vi piace (anche di prugne, come da
tradizione boema).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Più farete lievitare
l'impasto più soffici risulteranno le focaccine. In questo modo
tenderanno a rimanere più morbide anche nei giorni successivi, se
conservate in pellicola. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">Looking back. Trying to
live again those moments, to retrace them, without finding yourself.
Don't recognize yourself as protagonist, feeling like a spectator.
Curious but unable to understand. Living an unexpected, different and
still bound to past, present. Less bright. Surreal. Overwhelming.
Upsetting. Senseless. Demanding. Maybe, necessary.</span></div>

</span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">I still remember the hot
Buchteln of Paris. Those ones I mentioned <a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/p/about.html">here</a>. Yes, you understood
right. Buchteln in Paris. Those small and fluffy balls of dough
stuffed with jam, those which are served with vanilla sauce in ladin
tradition (terribly <i>südtiroler, for me no thanks ;)! </i>). </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">I've still got them in
head. In a special place, of Paris. Actually for a long list of
reasons. Objectively Buchteln, in the french capital, don't identify
a lot of sense. Maybe it would be more “normal” (hate, deeply,
the definition of normality and every declension of it, adjectival or
adverbial), to talk about a fantastic <i>pain au chocolat </i>(ok,
think it will come sooner or later anyway) or a crunchy homemade
<i>baguette</i> (missing! Soon I have to try it at home. Without
claims to beat Parisian bakers, <i>ça va sans dire</i> ;) ). But
trust me, I couldn't have done differently. The heady smell of these
scones, which are the end of the world if you serve them lukewarm, on
that larch log. I was in Paris, it's true. But actually I felt like
at home. I felt cherished, a bit spoilt. Raptured by the magic and
the atmosphere that only that city can give. Walking trough the Latin
Quarter donated me a sens of peace and serenity. I emphatize. A small
(and false) bohémien, so unsure and frail around the steep and
narrow streets of 5ème. One atelier of high fashion scraps where you
find the prettiest little black dress ever, one <i>salon de thé </i>with
aqua green walls in a hidden tiny street, a old bookstore with dusty
and yellowed volumes by Baudelaire.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">Although it's unusual,
this combination Buchteln-Paris will stay for ever in my memories.
And it's not said that this city will rescue me soon, once again.</span></div>

</span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">Maybe it's there that all

<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">But a special greetings and a
dedication go to the origin of this sweet: Bohemia ( ladins as
austrians and germans have inherited it).</span></div>

</span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">Maybe it's there, partly,
that a new beginning will have its weirdest (and essentially utopic)
fulfillment. :)</span></div>

</span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">350 g flour, sifted</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">2 eggs, room-temperature</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">1 pinch vanilla Bourbon

<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">2/3 tsp bio lemon zest,
grated</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

</div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">Mix 50 ml of lukewarm milk
with sugar and yeast, until all is melted. Put away and let rest it
for 15 minutes. Pour flour in a large bowl, add the milk-sugar-yeast
liquid and start to knead, combining eggs, left milk, vanilla, lemon
zest and melted butter. Keep on working it until you get a
homogeneous and lightly sticky dough. Let it rise, covered in a warm
place, for on hour at least.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">After the leavening,
spread the paste on a covered in flour plane with the depth of 5 mm.
Cut squares with a 6x6 cm size.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">Arrange in the center of
each square a teaspoon of jam and close with an other square, sealing
the edges accurately. Give it the shape of a ball, working it in your
hands and putting each buchtel in a buttered cake pan, side by side.
Brush the sweet with melted butter and put it resting for 15 minutes.
Cook the scones to 170° for 35-40 minutes (the crust will darken,
for this check the inside part with a toothpick). </span>

the original version of the sweet (that one </span></span><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">südtiroler

the used jam is apricots one. I personally prefer the cranberry one
or currants one, but you really can choose that one you like more
(plums jam too, as the bohemian tradition wants)</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">More
you rise the knead, more the scones will be fluffy. In this way they
will stay soft for more days, if you conserve them in plastic wrap.</span></span></span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Avevo
atteso un po' per la<i> "Beet". </i>L'avevo vista da <a href="http://www.whatkatieate.com/">Katie</a>, ovviamente.
Come con la "<a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/2013/03/its-guinness-one.html">Guinness"</a>, mi affascinava l'uso di un ingrediente così
particolare in un dolce. In realtà non era il fatto di usare una
verdura in una torta a sorprendermi. Se ricordate <a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/2012/08/ciambella-di-zucchine-dolce-del-nonno.html">qui</a> vi avevo
raccontato della torta dolce di zucchine di nonno (ahhh, nostalgia
estiva ;) ). In realtà era la barbabietola in sé, ad incuriosirmi.
La rapa rossa, con la quale ho sempre avuto un rapporto strano. Da
piccina non la cercavo più di tanto, non si è mai vista girare per
casa. Poi qualche tempo fa l'ho riscoperta (con i super <a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/2014/01/back-to-origins.html">canederli</a> ;)
). Mi attrae il colore (da morire!), la consistenza. La dolcezza. </span>

</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">La
<i>"Beet"</i> è quasi indescrivibile. Soffice, spugnosa ed umida.
Assomiglia alla sua <a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/2013/03/its-guinness-one.html">sorellina</a>, per aspetto (crosticina fuori, morbida
dentro). Per il profumo inconfondibile del cacao. La <i>Beet </i>però
è più leggera. Col suo colore bordeaux, intenso, che in cottura
diventa mogano. Leggermente meno compatta, si sbriciola tra le mani.
Elegante, decisa, equilibrata. Alternativa (non resisto al colore
fucsia che va ad unirsi agli ingredienti secchi ;)) e divertente :)</span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">I
waited a bit for the “<i>Beet” </i>(in english it sounds funny ;)
haha!). I saw it the first time by <a href="http://www.whatkatieate.com/">Katie</a>, obviously. As it happened
with the <a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/2013/03/its-guinness-one.html">"<i>Guinness"</i>,</a> I was enchanted from the use of a very
particular ingredient in a sweet recipe. Actually I wasn't surprised
by using a vegetable in a cake. If you remember, <a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/2012/08/ciambella-di-zucchine-dolce-del-nonno.html">here</a> I told you
about my granpa's sweet zucchini bundt cake (ahhh, summer memories ;)
). It was actually the betroot itself to intrigue me. Beet, with
which I've always had a strange rapport. When I was a little girl I
didn't look for it so much, we usually didn't have it at home. Then,
a while ago, I rediscovered it (with the super <a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/2014/01/back-to-origins.html">canederli</a> ;) ). I like
the colour (to madness! ), the consinstency. The sweetness.</span></div>

</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

</div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">The
<i>"Beet</i>" is almost indescribable. Terribly fluffly, spongy and
moist. It looks like her <a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/2013/03/its-guinness-one.html">sister,</a> for the aspect (outside
crusty, inside soft). For the unmistakable fragrance of cocoa. But
The "<i>Beet" </i> is lighter. With its intense bordeaux colour, that
during the baking becomes mahogany. Slightly less compact, it
crumbles in hands thanks to the softness. Elegant, strong but
balanced. Alternative (I can't resist to the fuchsia colour mixed
with dry ingredients ;). Funny!</span></div>

covered it with a huge flow of melted chocolate, just for aestethic
purposes (yeah, have to say the pic creates well the idea ;)), but
trust me it's incredibly yummy even just with a simple wipe of icing
sugar, or even without anything on the top. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Da
una parte una nuova tipologia di post (come sapete siamo in fase di
cambiamenti, sperimentazione e mille nuove idee mi frullano in testa
:) ). Dall'altra parlo di una modifica nella struttura del post, che
non so come prenderete, ma che io voglio provare ad inserire (almeno
in una parte delle pubblicazioni). Per una serie di motivi in realtà,
che forse un giorno vi racconterò. Non so se a voi (italiani)
piacerà o meno, ma sono certa mi “aiuterà” ad accorciare i mie
lunghi monologhi abituali ;), cosa che so apprezzerete ;).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Dopo
tempo (come sapete tutti i trend e le mode culinarie del momento da
me arrivano dopo minimo un anno), ho finalmente trovato le carote
viola, che sognavo da molto e che a dire la verità avevo
dimenticato, rinunciando all'idea di utilizzarle almeno una volta. Se
ricordate, fino a qualche anno fa erano diventate un vero must, come
i pomodori gialli e arancioni del resto. Quindi, oltre ad essere in
ritardo e immensamente controtendenza (lo sapete che per me non è
mai stato un problema questo, anzi), vi presento “<i>3 ingredients,
2 recipes”</i><span style="font-style: normal;">, ovvero due modi
diversi per cucinare tre medesimi ingredienti. </span></span>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Per iniziare (in realtà non so se
riuscirò a crearne molti altri di questi) ho scelto tre ingredienti
super basici e sani: le carote viola, la mela e lo zenzero fresco. I
due modi per cucinarli? Il primo è a freddo, una centrifuga (appunto
la più banale in circolazione, carota-mela-zenzero) classica,
semplicemente ottenuta dallo spremere i tre ingredienti. Il secondo
modo è una zuppetta, anch'essa molto facile da preparare, con alla
base i soliti tre protagonisti. </span>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">In realtà non è nulla di che, le
ricette/non-ricette sono davvero disarmanti, però credo che l'idea
di base sia divertente. Assomiglia un po' a <a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/2013/08/summers-end-post.html">questa</a>, solo che questa
volta gli ingredienti in comune sono di più, e le preparazioni sono
completamente diverse.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Sarà per il colore (in questo periodo
mi diverto a giocarci, oltre che è risaputo che è sano cucinare
“colorando” i piatti) che mi fa letteralmente impazzire, sarà
perchè sono salutari ma non tristi - anche se quest'anno devo dire
che ho risparmiato il mio fisico dalle solite abbuffate festive- ma
mi piacciono entrambe da impazzire.</span></div>

Aggiungere le verdure/frutta, coprire con qualche bicchiere di brodo

ottenere una crema vellutata ed omogenea (aggiungere ulteriore acqua
calda se risulta eccessivamente spessa). Servire calda, con qualche
crostino o chips di mela.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">At
one hand a new type of post (as you know we're in a phase of change,
trial and thousand new ideas are swirling around my head :) ). At the
other one I'm talking about a modification of the post's structure. I
don't know your reaction about this, but I want to try to insert it
(at least in a part of posts). For a series of reasons actually, that
maybe I'll tell you one day. I don't know if you (italians) will
appriciate it or not, but I'm quite sure it will “help” me to
shorten my long and usual monologues ;) thing I know you'll like :)</span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">After
much time (as you know all food trends always come to me after min
one year), I finally found purple carrots, which I dreamed for long
and which, to tell the truth, I forgot, giving up the idea to
using them at least on time. If you remember, until a few years ago,
they became a real must, as moreover yellow and orange tomatoes. So,
beyond being late and extremely countertrend (you know that it never
have been actually a problem for me), I present you <i>“3 ingredients,
2 recipes”</i>, that's two different ways to cook the three same
ingredients. </span>

</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">At
this point there'll be people among you who'll burst out laughing, people who'll quit reading the post and will leave Maf, but
someone (at least I hope ;) ) who'll find this a funny and unusual
idea.</span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">For
the beginning (I don't know really if I'll be able to create many
others from these posts) I chose three very basic and healthy
ingredients: purple carrots, apple, and fresh ginger. The two ways to cook
them? The first is a cold-one, a classic squeeze (exactly the most
common existing, that's carrot-apple-ginger), simply done squeezing
the ingredients. The second way is a soup, very easy to prepare,
always with the base of the three protagonists. </span>

<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">Actually
all this isn't anything special, recipes/no-recipes are really
disarming, but I believe the beginning idea is funny. It looks a bit
like <a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/2013/08/summers-end-post.html">this one</a>, but this time common ingredients are more and
preparations are completely different.</span></div>

</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: small;">It
will be for the colour (in this period I have fun playing with them,
besides is well-known that to cook plates changing colours is
healthy) which I literally love, it will be 'cause they're wholesome
and good at the same time – even if I have to say I spared my body from usual festive binges this year – but I like both madly.

squeeze is the solution to start well and with energy the day ( I red
purple carrots are also good for circulation) and the soup warms belly in

<br />
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Credo
che questo post vi stupirà, per più aspetti. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Primo
perchè dopo mesi e mesi di ricette dolci (ho controllato, era da
ottobre che non si intravedeva nulla di salato su Maf :o) ho
finalmente postato una ricetta salata. Non potevo andare avanti così,
diciamocelo. Avrei davvero rischiato di farvi andare in una pazzesca
crisi iperglicemica ;) Oppure di trasformare Me and food in un baking
blog (sì, ci ho pensato più volte...obbiettivamente mi diverte
cucinare dolci e soprattutto fotografarli! Perchè?! E' semplice:
riescono sempre bene! :) ), ma forse non sarebbe la scelta corretta,
senza il salato non so davvero resistere!</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">L'altro
aspetto che potrà sorprendervi è il tipo di ricetta che vi
propongo. Udite udite (ci vorrebbe un rullo di tamburi in sottofondo
:) ) stiamo parlando di una preparazione tipica delle mie zone, una
ricetta della mia tradizione, grande classico della cucina
dolomitica: i canederli. Tutti conosceranno i famosi gnocchi di pane
allo speck, formaggio o spinaci - le versioni più autentiche di
questa ricetta- serviti con burro fuso (si lo ammetto, ogni tanto,
quando mi sento in colpa uso l'olio evo ;) ) e salvia. Sono diventati
ormai un piatto molto conosciuto, servito ovunque, forse anche troppo
diffuso. Infatti, anche se semplice e povero di base, il canederlo
deve esser fatto bene, mai troppo 'gnucco' ma nemmeno molle. C'è un
equilibrio di consistenza che rende gli <i>gnoches </i><span style="font-style: normal;">o
</span><i>bales </i><span style="font-style: normal;">(come si dice in
ladino) perfetti. </span></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Io
qui vi porto una delle mie ricette preferite, una versione forse a
voi nuova, ma nemmeno così fuori dagli schemi: <i>canederli alle
barbabietole rosse con ripieno di robiola di capra</i>. Come mio
solito, si sa, non sono riuscita a portarvi la preparazione base
della ricetta (per inciso, le versioni classiche elencate in
precedenza non mi piacciono più di tanto :P) ma un'abbinamento
perfetto di sapori, che sono certa vi conquisterà. Il contrasto
dolce dell'impasto rosso con il cuore di robiola di capra (o un altro
formaggio a vostra scelta), dal sapore più deciso e forte, è
divino. Semplici e facili da preparare , sono un modo per utilizzare
il pane vecchio di qualche giorno in una chiave diversa e oserei dire
chic. Perchè il canederlo, a volte così snobbato, può davvero
essere impreziosito. Con gli ingredienti e l'attenzione giusti può
diventare un signor primo, che sa di montagna e di calore. Di baita e
di camino acceso. Di pranzi invernali in famiglia e di genuino.</span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Forse
questo è il primo post, assieme allo <a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/2013/11/bye-my-dear-autumn.html">Schmarren</a>, a rientrare nella
categoria </span><i>post della (mia) tradizione</i><span style="font-style: normal;">.
Non sono molti, anzi. Questo non perchè non mi piaccia sfoggiare la
cultura culinaria della mia zona (che in realtà parte come cucina
povera e contadina, evolutasi successivamente), ma perchè non la
sentivo adatta a Me and food. Non stavo negando le mie origini e
radici, snobbandole. Era solo questione di sensazioni, o forse di
necessità. Da sempre, ho avuto il bisogno di aprirmi, di vedere cose
nuove. Di partire, di avere una testa nuova, diversa. Di staccarmi
dalla piccola realtà che era la mia Terra, che a volte mi stava
stretta, molto. Tutto questo probabilmente si rispecchiava anche nel
blog, nella scelta del nome, nella ricerca di ricette provenienti da
qualsiasi parte del mondo, nella curiosità che provavo (e provo)
nello scoprirle.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Qualche
giorno fa però ho sentito questo desiderio. Di pubblicare qualcosa
di mio, della mia tradizione. Che esprimesse la mia provenienza e la
mia appartenenza. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Ora
come non mai ho sentito l'importanza ed il legame con la mia Terra.
Forse l'ho capito solo quando ho iniziato a guardarla e viverla con
occhi esterni. Ho finalmente realizzato che Lei ci sarà sempre.
Ovunque finirò, qualsiasi cosa accadrà. </span>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Far appassire le cipolle in una padella
antiaderente con il burro, fino a che risultano morbide. In una
ciotola mettere il pane e le cipolle, mescolare. Tagliare a pezzi le
barbabietole, frullarle con le uova in un mixer da cucina. Unirle al
pane e mescolare ancora. Aggiungere infine la farina, il sale ed il
prezzemolo, impastare tutti gli ingredienti. Se la consistenza è
eccessivamente molle ed appiccicosa (l'impasto è troppo bagnato)
aggiungere altra farina, per dare consistenza. Far riposare l'impasto
per 15 minuti a temperatura ambiente, coprendolo con uno strofinaccio. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Tagliare a dadini il formaggio che
avete scelto poi prendere una quantità di massa, non troppo
esagerata, di impasto, appiattire la pallina, mettere al centro
qualche dadino di formaggio (uno, massimo due) e chiudere il
canederlo, sigillandolo bene affinchè il ripieno non esca o si apra.
Cuocere i canederli in acqua salata per circa 15 minuti. Scolarli e
servirli passandoli nel burro fuso, guarnirli a piacere con qualche
foglia di salvia e una spolverata di parmigiano (ancor meglio se
trovate il grana di capra). </span>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">se non trovate (o non volete
utilizzare) la robiola di capra, potete sostituirla con un altro
formaggio come per esempio un erborinato o tipo gorgonzola ( io ne
ho fatti metà con il Weissensteiner doppia muffa, una sorta di
gorgo austriaco, eccezionale). L'importante è che il gusto sia
abbastanza deciso (dovendo far contrasto con il dolce della
barbabietola) e che sia un formaggio molle o fresco, ma
assolutamente non a pasta dura, altrimenti non si scioglierà e non
creerà il cuore filante.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Il pane da canederli, raffermo, deve
essere 'vecchio' di circa 3-5 giorni, non di più. Per intendersi,
deve essere pane secco.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Consiglio di assaggiare l'impasto
crudo, dopo averlo salato, e di non esagerare fin dall'inizio, ma
partendo invece con un pizzico e aumentando successivamemente se
necessario (ricordando che l'acqua in cui cuociono è salata e che
anche il ripieno è sapido).</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro;">Potete preparare i canederli il giorno
prima per il giorno dopo e conservarli sotto pellicola al fresco,
oppure congelarli su un platò infarinato e tenerli in freezer,
pronti all'uso. </span></span>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Il
periodo natalizio è terminato, molte cose stanno finendo,
come è giusto sia. Lo avevo già anticipato su Facebook che non
sarei stata propriamente coerente proponendo voi questa ricetta,
<strike>forse</strike> sicuramente più indicata al periodo precedente al Natale. Questi <i>candy
cane chocolate cookies </i><span style="font-style: normal;">ricordano
e riprendono evidentemente i biscotti da consumare alla sera durante
l'Avvento, con un bicchierone di latte accanto. Avete presente i
biscottoni da divorare davanti alla tv, mentre state guardando il
classico film di Natale, avvolti da una calda coperta? Ecco, quella è
l'idea che questi dolcetti volevano rendere. Quella che avrei voluto
rendere io, per lo meno. Per una serie di motivi non è stato
possibile e così, essendo tutto strano, tutto al contrario, tutto
confuso, questi cookies, da me sono arrivati adesso. Quando tutto
ormai sta per finire, e cambiare. Quando i film di Natale non hanno
più quel significato tanto magico e tremendamente affascinante.
Quando forse tutto non ha nemmeno più senso. </span></span>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Fatto
sta che questi biscotti ormai ci sono, simpatici e buffi, golosi e
calorici. Quei bastoncini di zucchero rossi e bianchi, che dopo 19
anni ho trovato/ricevuto per la prima volta, dovevano finire da
qualche parte. Perchè anche se non lo voglio ammettere, ci tenevo da
morire a quei bastoncini. Perchè finalmente anche io, mi sono
sentita come una piccola attrice di quei film di Natale, americani.
Fiera di quelle caramelle lunghe a forma di bastone che appese all'albero son ancora più belle. E ancora una volta, forse una
delle ultime, mi son sentita piccina, spensierata e speranzosa. Ad
aspettare il Bello che arriverà, perchè so che succederà.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">Non
sto dicendo di fare come me, di sconvolgere ogni tendenza e di
preparare ora questi biscotti tanto natalizi, trementamente fuori tema. Forse apprezzerete
l'idea per l'anno prossimo, forse non vi invoglierà per nulla. Posso
solo dirvi che con me hanno funzionato, che forse un po' magici lo
sono. Che in parte mi hanno aiutato a trovare quello che quest'anno,
anche per colpa mia, mi ero fatta sfuggire. :)</span></div>

<li><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Adobe Caslon Pro; font-size: large;">l'aggiunta dei pezzettini
di caramella va fatta a metà cottura poiché con il calore del
forno, lo zucchero tenderà a sciogliersi. Se incastrerete i
bastoncini fin da subito (prima di inizare la prima parte di
cottura), lo zucchero dopo poco si scioglierà e a fine cottura non
troverete più l'effetto dei pezzetti chiari, ma anzi piccoli
crateri incavati, dall'effetto poco carino.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Damascus; font-size: large;">Sono
tornata (mamma come passa il tempo) il prima possibile per iniziare
la serie (sperando che possano essere più, non garantisco ;) ) di
post pre-natalizi, con a tema i regalini commestibili per Natale.
Come ben sapete il periodo è frenetico, nella sua magia e atmosfera,
il tempo stringe e gli impegni si infittiscono sempre più. </span>

<span style="font-family: Damascus; font-size: large;">Come
dicevo la scorsa volta però, non ho intenzione di rinunciare a
godere a pieno il periodo più incantevole dell'anno. Ogni domenica
il piccolo laboratorio di Babbo Natale apre le porte e sforna,
incarta ed impacchetta piccoli cadeaux da regalare ai propri cari. <span style="color: black;">È
davvero il modo più bello e divertente di regalare un pensiero alle
persone che più ci stanno a cuore. Un regalo autentico e genuino che
trasmette affetto ed attenzione.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Damascus;">Quest'anno
però ho voluto uscire un pochino dai soliti schemi. La produzione di
biscotti di ogni genere non mancherà, vedrete che non mi sono
smentita (in fondo, è pur sempre una tradizione :)). Pensandoci un
po' però e volendo trovare un'idea diversa e un po' nuova senza però
stravolgere il concetto dei regalini commestibili, ho trovato un'idea
che avevo già visto da <a href="http://call-me-cupcake.blogspot.it/">Linda</a>, e che subito mi aveva colpito. Invece
di cucinare i classici biscotti da regalare nelle scatole di latta o
nei contenitori appositi, perchè non comporre dei preparati
casalinghi per biscotti e dolcetti homemade? Ecco perchè <i>Xmas in a
Jar</i> (Natale nel vasetto). Un mix di ingredienti semplici e genuini,
già pesati e dosati, stratificati in un vaso da conserve, ai quali
bisognerà aggiungere solamente gli ingredienti freschi per ottenere
senza sforzo degli ottimi biscotti fatti in casa. Personalmente lo
trovo geniale, simpatico e divertentissimo. Se ci riflettete è una
trovata furba per colpire le vostre amiche appassionate, i vostri
parenti che potranno replicare i vostri dolcetti o chiunque apprezza
il mondo del food :).</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Damascus;">È
velocissimo da realizzare per voi (è sufficiente dosare le quantità
di ingredienti secchi e stratificarli nel vaso di vetro a chiusura
ermetica) e potete sbizzarrirvi con decorazioni, nastrini e
cartellini (dove scriverete il nome della ricetta e gli ingredienti
freschi da aggiungere al momento dell'uso).</span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Damascus;">Io
ho proposto quest'idea con dei biscotti semplicissimi al cacao,
cioccolato fondente e noci macadamia. In realtà questo è solo uno
spunto, perchè infatti potete riempire i vasetti con qualsiasi
preparazione o ricetta voi desideriate (anche dolcetti da forno).
L'unico consiglio che vi do è quello di provare prima, se avete
intenzione di usare una specifica ricetta, che il risultato sia
ottimale. Essendo il concetto quello del “preparato-mix” la
ricetta scelta non potrà essere articolata, con mille passaggi o
troppi ingredienti. L'idea è quella di riuscire a cucinare dolcetti
deliziosi semplicemente mischiando il mix pronto con altri
ingredienti, a mano oppure (ancor meglio) in un mixer da cucina o una
planetaria, senza fatica e senza complicazioni. :)</span></span></div>

che quest'anno sono in immenso ritardo, sarà che ho mille cose per
la testa (anche di belle, ovviamente), che ho pochissimo tempo e che
quello disponibile mi scivola via, ma quest'idea per i regali di
Natale commestibili è fantastica. Con pochi materiali e in poco
tempo è possibile ottenere dei pensieri speciali e tremendamente
simpatici. </span></span>

non lo dico troppo forte, viste le mie promesse non mantenute
ultimamente. Prima di Natale, quello vero, dovrei tornare. Spero di
farcela, ci proverò. Tornerò per gli auguri, quello sicuro (almeno
su fb), forse con un'altra ricetta. Non voglio promettervi nulla però

modifica (strutturale) del blog. Ci devo ancora lavorare sopra un
po'. C'è bisogno di aria nuova! Oh sì.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Lo ricordo,
quando ero piccina. Il primo di dicembre ha sempre avuto un significato magico
per me. Alla mattina presto, ancora sotto le coperte con i piedini avvolti da
caldi calzini di lana ed il nasino infreddolito, un'aria diversa circondava
l'atmosfera della mia cameretta. Sapevo cosa stava per succedere, cosa stava
per iniziare, anche quell'anno. Che quella casellina del mio <i>Adventskalender

Anche se è un periodo strano, dopotutto. Nel quale devo capire ancora tante cose. E forse è meglio così. Perchè se tutto, fuori, è disordine, vortice
e anche ( non sempre) sofferenza, io nell'Avvento mi rifugio. Perchè è casa, è
famiglia, è sorrisi e abbracci caldi. E' sicurezza ed equilibrio. E' tornare.
Adesso ne ho bisogno. </span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">E allora, oggi,
come ogni anno, come ogni primo di dicembre, ecco che ho aperto la mia
casellina del calendario (con motivi rigorosamente tedeschi :)). Proprio come
quando avevo le manine troppo piccole per staccare le porticine. Perchè per
alcune cose, non si è mai troppo grandi.</span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Quest'anno ho
voluto esagerare. Eh sì. Perchè se a casa mia i calendari erano più di uno
(quello mio, di mia sorella, quello decorativo e quello della famiglia, sì,
roba da pazzi ;) ), non ne ho mai abbastanza. Ci pensavo da un po', e alla fine
mi sono decisa: ho ricreato un calendario d'Avvento edibile, in stile
nordico-germanico. Un'idea semplice, così pulita. Così facile da fare. Così bella.
Tra le altre cose uno splendido elemento decorativo :)</span></span></div>

pino argentato. </span></span></div>

burro a pezzetti e lavorarlo con lo zucchero di canna in una ciotola, sbattendo
con una frusta, fino a che raggiunge una consistenza cremosa ed omogenea.
Aggiungere le uova, uno alla volta, versare la melassa (o il suo sostituto) e
continuare a montare. In un'altra ciotola mescolare la farina, le spezie, il
bicarbonato ed il sale. Aggiungere gli ingredienti secchi alle uova e
amalgamare bene, impastare fino ad ottenere un pallina liscia. </span></span></div>

</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

l'impasto e lasciar riposare in frigo per almeno 3 ore. Togliere l'impasto dal
fresco una mezzora prima di lavorarlo, facendolo riposare a temperatura
ambiente. Dividere l'impasto in due, stendere le sfoglie con uno spessore di
mezzo cm e ricavare i biscotti, con forme natalizie a piacere. Dovendo
appendere i biscotti, praticare dei forellini (io con la punta di un sac a
poche) per far poi passare il nastro.</span></span></div>

</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Adagiare i

già caldo a 180° per 7-8 minuti, prestando attenzione affinché non risultino
troppo dorati. </span></span></div>

</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sfornarli,
farli raffreddare. Glassarli, scrivendo su ogni biscotto il numero (da 1 a 25)
con l'aiuto di un sac a poche e decorarli a piacere. Far asciugare la glassa
per una notte al fresco. Il giorno seguente, infilare in ogni biscotto un
pezzetto di nastro decorato, chiudendo con un fiocchetto. Appendere i biscotti
sul “calendario”.</span></span></div>

</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">potete
utilizzare qualsiasi superficie per creare il calendario. Io ho proposto una
scaletta di legno, ma si possono tranquillamente appendere i biscotti su un
ramo di un albero (anche sbiancato, per un gusto ancora più nordico), su un
asse di legno grezzo con puntine rosse e bianche. Sbizzaritevi, date sfogo alla
vostra fantasia, e se avrete voglia, condividete con me la vostra idea :)</span></span></div>

</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">la dose di
glassa è molto abbondante. Potete lasciare i biscotti semplici come ho fatto io
( con il solo numero al centro), oppure potete aggiungere puntini, linee o
altro a vostro piacere.</span></span></div>

</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Questi biscotti
si conservano a lungo in contenitori ermetici ben sigillati. Inoltre sono
perfetti per arricchire i vostri pacchetto regalo. Legate un biscotto decorato
(potete inserirlo in un sacchettino trasparente o di juta per un risultato più
rustico) al nastro del vostro pacchetto assieme al biglietto-etichetta. Sarà
una dolce sorpresa per la persona che aprirà il dono :) </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">E tanto per ricordarvi che ci sono, una ricetta nuovissima, un saluto
al mio autunno (quest'anno così alternativo). Un piatto della mia tradizione
(forse uno dei pochi presenti qui sul blog) in chiave completamente anarchica
;). Schmarren di castagne, la versione castognosa del Kaiserschmarren, senza
farina (gluten free: modalità on! :) ) e dalla consistenza leggera e spumosa.
In italiano potrebbe essere interpretato come una frittata dolce alle castagne,
ma per capire di cosa parlo realmente dovrete provarlo, e vi garantisco che ne
vale la pena :)</span></span></div>

zucchero rimasto e unire alla massa di castagne. Montare poi a neve ferma le
chiare e incorporarle delicatamente alla massa. In una padella antiaderente
ampia scaldare un goccio d'olio e il restante burro (20 g, anche un po' di più
;) ), versare il composto e cuocere finchè la frittata risulta dorata da
entrambe le parti. Per terminare la cottura (all'interno dello Schmarren)
passare in forno caldo per 5 minuti circa a 180°, infino sminuzzarlo con la
forchetta.</span></span></div>

</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">* per reperire la purea di castagna vi consiglio di rivolgervi al
vostro negozio bio di fiducia (io l'ho trovato lì). E' leggermente diversa
dalla confettura/crema di marroni, perchè è al naturale e non eccessivamente
dolcificata ( con i pezzettoni di castagna). Effettivamente trovare
l'alternativa in questo caso è un po' difficile, consiglio di sostituirla
(anche se non sarà la stessa cosa) con una crema di marroni di qualità. In
questo caso dovrete gestire la dose di zucchero, che con l'utilizzo della crema
potrebbe risultare eccessivo.</span></span></div>

</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">la versione classica dello <i>Schmarren</i> prevede l'uso della farina
(da molta consistenza al dolce). Per avvicinarsi alla tradizione si potrebbe
provare ad aggiungere un 80-100 g di farina setacciata. </span></span></div>

sembra preziosa, irripetibile e immensamente affascinante. E anche se di solito
fisicamente il cambio di stagione affatica, io sono piena di energie,
desiderosa di fare e di non perdere un solo momento. Penso a viaggi e a posti

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">La cucina è invasa da
castagne, cachi, zucche e mele e poi, come dimenticarla, c’è l’uva nera. Quella
così suntuosa ed elegante, dal colore indaco e di una dolcezza unica. A casa
mia ogni autunno ne abbiamo cassette colme, che provengono da tenute di amici
di famiglia. In realtà ho sempre desiderato “visitare” nel vero senso della
parola i vigneti, perdermi tra le distese, cogliere i grappoli, trascorre
lunghi pomeriggi assolati, con mosto fatto in casa e castagne al forno in
compagnia di amici, per vivere il vero autunno. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Più volte sono stata
ospite in tenute agricole tra vigneti e meleti, per qualche merenda autunnale o
semplicemente per ritirare qualche dono di conoscenti. Non ho però mai avuto
modo di vivere attivamente la campagna, di immortalarla e di conoscerla meglio.
In prima persona. </span></span></div>

</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">E dato che nell’ultimo

Vedremo. E forse, vi racconterò anche di questo un giorno :)</span></span></div>

lascio oggi una ricetta pazzesca che molti conosceranno, l’ode all’uva nera per
eccellenza: la schiacciata all’uva. Ricetta toscana, rustica e autentica, una
focaccia dolce, dal gusto grezzo e contadino. Io non ho seguito la versione
originale, il mio risultato è una focaccia un po’ più alta e zuccherina,
leggermente diversa dalla tradizione. Il concetto però rimane lo stesso, una
base di focaccia abbastanza neutra condita con gli acini dell’uva, olio evo e

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Potrebbe sembrare un
peccato utilizzare uva di così alta qualità per un dolce, quando gustata al
naturale è meravigliosa. Io ho fatto più volte questo ragionamento. Se però si
guarda la cosa dall’altro punto di vista, ovvero (come nel mio caso) la
quantità di frutta è così importante che si rischierebbe quasi che si sciupi da
sola, con lo scorrere del tempo, cucinare la schiaccia è la soluzione ideale
per evitare una rimanenza esagerata o di utilizzare gli ultimi grappoli, magari
un po’ fiacchi, per dare loro una seconda possibilità ;)</span></span></div>

Ci siamo divertite e abbiamo trascorso un bellissimo pomeriggio assieme, tra
farina, zucchero a velo e tante risate. Ringrazio ancora le partecipanti per
essere venute a cucinare con me, ringrazio il Grand Hotel Trento (soprattutto
Veronica) e lo staff del ristorante Clesio per la disponibilità e l’aiuto e
ovviamente Bianco Concept Store. Mi raccomando rimanete connessi per il secondo
appuntamento di novembre, a breve vi racconteremo tutto :) </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Andalus;">250 g di farina bianca
(00)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Andalus;">250 g di farina
integrale di grano tenero</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Andalus;">50 g di zucchero di
canna + quello necessario per spolverizzare il dolce</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Andalus;">12 g di lievito di
birra fresco</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Andalus;">300 ml di acqua
tiepida</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Andalus;">1 cucchiaino di miele</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Andalus;">olio evo qb</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Andalus;">500-600 g circa di uva
nera, lavata e asciugata</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Andalus;">Sciogliere il lievito
in poca acqua tiepida, prelevandola dai 300 ml previsti per la ricetta e
aggiungere un cucchiaino di miele. Nell’impastatrice (planetaria) versare le
farine, mescolandole, e formando una sorta di fontana, unire il liquido
acqua-lievito. Iniziare ad impastare e aggiungere pian piano il resto dell’acqua,
fino ad ottenere una palla di impasto fissa ed omogenea. Lasciar lievitare
l’impasto coperto da uno strofinaccio pulito al caldo fino a che raddoppierà di
volume (circa 1 ora e mezza/2). A questo punto incorporare i 50 g di zucchero
di canna e 4 cucchiai di olio, continuando ad impastare per qualche minuto. Dividere
l’impasto in due e stendere entrambe le parti sul piano di lavoro ben
infarinato fino ad uno spessore di circa 1 cm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Ungere d’olio una teglia capiente e stenderci sopra una delle due
sfoglie. Posizionare sopra la focaccia circa la metà degli acini d’uva, condire
con un filo d’olio e una spolverata di zucchero di canna. Coprire con l’altra
sfoglia, sigillando i bordi, e ripetere l’operazione precedente
(uva-olio-zucchero). Cuocere a 180° per circa 35-40 minuti. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Andalus;">La superficie deve
scurirsi (il risultato sarà quasi caramellizzato), prestate comunque attenzione
alla cottura. Servire tiepida.</span></div>

stagione calma, pigra, elegante e profonda. Una passeggiata nei boschi umidi e
tinteggiati di mille colori, con un immenso silenzio, un cestino in mano e la
speranza di trovare qualche castagna o qualche mela selvatica lungo il
tragitto. Sono occasioni perfette per trascorre una felice e spensierata
domenica in compagnia, oppure, semplicemente, il modo per scappare dal
quotidiano e rifugiarsi tra gli alberi e le casette di legno. Per trovare
qualcosa di magico e di segreto. Per liberare l’immaginazione.</span>

precoci nevicate che coprono il paesaggio, a volte ancora impreparato a
vestirsi di bianco. </span></span></div>

so anche che non a molti due passi nel bosco sono indifferenti. Che un pometo
carico di piccoli frutti rossi può non affascinare. Che un riccio di castagna
caduto sul sentiero è solo un piccolo intralcio. Per me, non è così. Fin da

<![endif]--><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Oh. Stavo per scordarmi. Dato che s’è parlato di
tè, di buon tè, non posso dimenticare di raccontarvi del famoso progetto-evento
a cui parteciperò, che ha tra le altre cose aperto le iscrizioni ufficialmente
mercoledì scorso. I LOV MINI CAKES, il nuovo evento organizzato da Bianco (se
vi siete persi l’introduzione degli scorsi post vi rimando <a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/2013/10/eggs-n1-salty-breakfast.html">qui</a>) in
collaborazione con me, Me and food, ed il Grand Hotel Trento. <a href="http://frombiancowithlove.blogspot.it/2013/10/i-lov-mini-cakes.html">Qui</a>, Giulia ha
descritto benissimo il contenuto e l’evento in generale, in un delizioso e curato
post, con tutti i particolari e i dettagli riguardanti il progetto. Io comunque
ci tenevo a descriverlo anche sul blog, così, come se facessimo due chiacchiere
senza pensieri. Sabato 19, alle ore 16.30 presso il Grand Hotel Trento si terrà
il primo incontro dei due laboratori di cucina che abbiamo organizzato, questo
primo denominato <i>I Lov mini cakes</i>.
Sarà un delizioso pomeriggio che trascorreremo in compagnia, tra la
preparazione di un delizioso dolce sotto la mia supervisione (ho creato
appositamente la ricetta ed il tè è protagonista), tante risate e la
degustazione dei meravigliosi tè Lov Organic. Sono moltissime le sorprese che
caratterizzano l’evento (se leggerete il post di Giulia, troverete tutto
specificato) e vi invito davvero ad andare a curiosare. Ne vale la pena. </span>

lavoro/preparazione. È stato un lavoro di squadra, che ha visto tutte e tre le
parti unite e disponibili per impegnarsi al massimo nel progetto e per regalare
ai partecipanti un’esperienza unica. Siamo orgogliosi e emozionati nel poter
affermare che finalmente tutto ciò prenderà forma. Noi vi aspettiamo, per
condividere un sabato pomeriggio diverso e particolare, in compagnia. Con tanti
sorrisi e qualche delizioso dolcetto :)</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Quando ti svegli la domenica mattina, e fuori
piove. Una pioggia leggera, elegante, quasi impercettibile. La nebbia copre
tutto il paesaggio e niente di quel che solitamente riconosci è visibile. Mi
piace quando succede così. Perché in quel preciso momento, non importa se
effettivamente sono a casa. Volendo, se solo gioco un po’ con la
fantasia, potrei essere in qualsiasi parte del mondo, con quella nebbia. In un
cottage finlandese con il camino già acceso come se fosse pieno inverno, in un
prato verde e deserto islandese con un gran silenzio e solo un forte e freddo
vento che colpisce il viso oppure al quinto piano di uno stabile ottocentesco
parigino, Parigi, sempre nel cuore.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Quando sto bene basta poco per farmi viaggiare con
la testa. Quando sono in pace, dentro di me, non occorre molto per farmi
nascere un sorriso sul viso. Sarà quest’aria di cambiamento, che ormai respiro
già da un po’, ce n’era un gran bisogno. Vi avevo già parlato di nuovi
programmi, nuove esperienze e nuova me. Di una nuova vita. Me ne accorgo ogni
giorno di più, quando sono di nuovo a casa. Che una volta partiti, è difficile
tornare indietro. Che gli occhi con cui vedi le solite cose e persone mutano,
che tutto diventa incredibilmente estraneo e lontano, anche se conosci perfettamente
quel luogo, quelle abitudini. Ti accorgi che fuori, in realtà, nulla è diverso
da prima, ma che comunque percepisci qualcosa di incredibilmente strano e nuovo.
Ti senti maturata, cambiata, inizi a conoscerti. Capisci che vuoi continuare sulla
strada verso il Mondo, verso il Nuovo. </span></span></div>

è questione di giorni, non posso rivelare tutti i dettagli, ma comunque vedrete
che già con una piccola anteprma vi innamorerete di questa novità. Vi ho ancora
parlato di <a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/2012/09/mint-ice-tea.html">Giulia</a>, cara amica e proprietaria di <a href="http://it-it.facebook.com/biancoconceptstore">Bianco Concept Store</a>, negozio
che molte di voi già conoscono, nonché uno dei miei preferiti in assoluto :).
Proprio in <a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/2012/09/mint-ice-tea.html">questo post</a>, senza farlo apposta, vi avevo accennato dei suoi
articoli, molti sono un’ esclusiva in Italia, e anche dei tè <a href="http://en.lov-organic.com/"><i>Lov Organic</i></a>. Questa una piccola traccia
per farvi incuriosire: un evento/un progetto. Ci sarà Bianco, ci sarò io (con
il blog), ci saranno i tè Lov e ci sarà il <a href="http://www.grandhoteltrento.com/">Grand Hotel Trento</a>. Sarà un qualcosa
di fantastico e divertente, credeteci. E a riguardo vi aspetto lunedì/martedì
su Facebook, per tutti gli aggiornamenti e per l’effettivo lancio! :)</span></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Per quanto concerne invece il post, la scorsa volta vi avevo proposto un genere prettamente fotografico, quello di oggi
invece è mirato a portare alcune possibili idee secondo un preciso tema, che se riuscirò,
porterò avanti in più “puntate”. Le protagoniste sono le <b>uova</b> e l'argomento è il <b>brunch/
la colazione domenicale</b> (sì, sono un po' fissata con i <a href="http://meandfood-mc.blogspot.it/2013/04/the-big-brunch-post.html">brunch</a> ;) ). In poche parole parliamo di due ricette con le
uova, entrambe salate, una molto classica e conosciuta (anche se proposta nella
mia versione), l’altra semplice ma forse meno diffusa tra le tavole degli
italiani, che rappresentano a mio vedere due fra le migliori alternative di
colazione completa, su modello di quella inglese, che una volta ogni tanto vale la
pena concedersi. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Preparare le omelette, sbattendo le uova con una
forchetta in una ciotola, aggiungendo la panna, il sale e il pepe, incorporando
molta aria. In una padella antiaderente sciogliere burro e olio e versarci metà
della pastella. Cuocere come una classica frittata da entrambi i lati, fino a
che diventa leggermente dorata. Quando la cottura è quasi ultimata, farcire una
metà dell’omelette ancora in padella con qualche fetta di prosciutto e
qualcun’altra di formaggio, chiuderla e sigillarla, toglierla dal fuoco.
Procedere ugualmente con il resto della pastella. </span></span></div>

dell’omelette può ovviamente cambiare secondo i vostri personali gusti e
preferenze. Inoltre è possibile aromatizzare la pastella con erbe aromatiche o
altri aromi, interessante è l’abbinamento con l’erba cipollina. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Preparare per primi i pomodorini, infornandoli in
una teglia con un goccio d’olio, un pizzico di sale e qualche rametto di timo
sparso qua e là. Cuocere per almeno 25-30 minuti a 180°.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Per le uova, sbatterle velocemente con sale, pepe
macinato al momento e 3 cucchiai di panna. Trasferirle in una padella
antiaderente dove avrete sciolto burro e olio e iniziare la loro cottura.
Mescolare le uova, sfaldandole e appunto strapazzandole con un mestolo di legno,
facendo in modo che rimangano sempre morbide e non si cuociano eccessivamente.
Quando sono ancora un po’ indietro di cottura, aggiungere i restanti 2 cucchiai
di panna, che serviranno a tenere morbide e cremose le vostre uova, e
aiuteranno nel caso in cui le aveste fatte cuocere troppo. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Per il bacon, far arrostire le fette su di una
padella antiaderente <b>senza grassi</b>,
facendole abbrustolire, rendendole croccanti da entrambi i lati.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Servire le uova ancora calde, con il bacon
croccante, i pomodorini al forno e il pane tostato. </span></span></div>

</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">l’idea in più
è quella di servire la colazione a mo’ di “tutto in uno”, formando con il pane
tostato delle bruschette da colazione, con il bacon, le uova e i pomodori,
tutto su un’unica fragrante fetta di pane.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;">

</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">La cottura dei
pomodorini è indicata per persone che apprezzano i pomodorini “semi al forno”,
ovvero pomodorini non completamente disidratati, ma ancora un po’ succosi e
polposi. Per ottenere un risultato simile al pomodoro secco basterà allungare
la cottura di un’altra mezz’ora. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;">

</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">io preferisco
usare un pancetta piuttosto dolce, anche se la tradizione inglese richiederebbe
quella affumicata, appunto, il bacon. Sta a voi scegliere. Io preferisco sapori
un po’ meno decisi e sapidi, però come sempre, dipende dalle preferenze. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sono stati tempi strani, questi passati. Tempi
pieni di cose da fare, di programmi ad incastro, di frenesia (quella che però
ti fa star bene), di agende pronte per essere riempite, di piccole
soddisfazioni, a volte di qualche dubbio. Momenti in cui pensi che tutto stia
andando per il meglio, in cui non vedi l’ora di conoscere il “nuovo” che ti
aspetta. Altri (momenti) in cui ti senti vuota. Persa.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Una settimana di “isolamento dal mondo” trascorsa
tra passeggiate mattutine in riva al mare, e lunghi pensieri notturni tra le deserte
stradine della parte vecchia della città, con la lacrima sempre pronta. Perché
sì, alcuni posti e alcune situazioni fanno quest’effetto. Quando, come diceva
Terzani, ti fermi in silenzio ad ascoltare il respiro dell’universo, e il tuo.
Quando la grandezza della natura ti travolge e, per un momento solo, ti fa
sentire eterno. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sono tornata poi, con un chilo di limoni della zona
(e mò con un chilo di limoni che faccio?! ;) ), olive e olio, un magnifico
(nostalgico) ricordo delle <i>mirabelles</i>
e una strana energia positiva, che prometteva bene. Così ho ripreso un ritmo, tra progetti e
piccole collaborazioni, nuove proposte e forse nuove idee. Ho cucinato molto,
sia per “lavoro” che per piacere; mi mancava stare in cucina, come una volta,
io con i miei attrezzi e il mio forno. Ho rispolverato vecchi pensieri, li ho
osservati e ho cercato di capirli. Forse, dopo un periodo di straordinaria
spensieratezza e pazzo atteggiamento naif, ho ritrovato una traccia da seguire.
L’unico quesito, ancora irrisolto, è di capire
se sono stata io a tracciare quella strada. Se sarà la <i>mia </i>strada. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Fotografo sì, anche e soprattutto food, ma per il
piacere di farlo. Perché mi piace, mi è piaciuto in passato e credo (spero) lo
farà ancora. Non perché devo postare, perché deve esserci la ricetta della
settimana, perché ho un blog di cucina che <i>dovrebbe
esser aggiornato, altrimenti, chi ti fila più</i>. Così, oggi, un nuovo tipo di
post, che forse voi non apprezzerete. Che crederete inutile o difficile da
interpretare. Un post senza ricetta, con un piatto, con i miei racconti, ma con
la fotografia protagonista. Vorrei dare importanza agli scatti, alla parte
fotografica, perché il blog, oltre alle mie parole e alle preparazione dei
piatti, è fotografie, che trasmettono emozioni, più o meno piacevoli, che
parlano, e che nascondono tanto lavoro e dedizione, forse ancora invisibili
data la mia inesperienza, ma che fidatevi ci sono eccome. </span></span></div>

le <i>mirabelles</i>, ma in Italia non son
belle come in Francia, piccoline e succosissime) <i>e timo fresco.</i> In realtà un po’ bruttina, ma così autentica e vera.
Racconta di pomeriggi settembrini diversi, liberi ma non più così leggeri. Di
aria fredda che ormai ha già salutato la brezza estiva. Ora, davvero, è tutto
pronto per accogliere l’Autunno. </span></span></div>
