Those who follow me know that the city of Mantua with its treasures and its gastronomy, hit me in the heart, but also a little tastebuds! In September for the festival of literature we come back and we saw her in a different light, and crowded with people who are passionate about books, but above all we enjoyed again, and as the first visit we brought home another Sbrisolona Cake. ... that unfortunately is over too quickly!

Unable to live without Linkwithin valance, I decided to try to make it! Some time ago a friend gave me her recipe, but I hadn’t tried it, so I went looking for her and I made it, but gluten-free version!

Seemed at last spring, not only on the calendar, but also in the air, the Sun had returned to shine and to warm my bones moistened by the endless rains of recent weeks, this Idyll, however, was just a quick glimpse lasted just for a weekend! Trusting in Easter for the return of the Sun, I am given to experiments in order to prepare a gluten-free and lactose-free Colomba Easter cake.

I decided to use as a starting point the recipe for classic colomba with salt and pepper (my Bible), and started a study for riproporzionare the ingredients and try a gluten-free flour mix made in house (I had no intention of using the flour mix deglutinate, there are many gluten-free flour in nature, I don’t see why having to use those chemically deglutinate!)

It took a couple of attempts, some good suggestion and the consultation of some specialized blog (here and here for example) before being able to have a result that is not only good, it also aesthetically appealing!

Thai contaminations in the Escarole pizza

~ affatafi ~ Lascia un commento
Home again and back in the kitchen leave automatically the first contamination Thai!
One of the principles of this intriguing kitchen is that in a dish there must be everyone in the right balance, salty, sweet, sour and spicy, so the other night I had friends over for dinner I applied to Escarole pizza!
Traditionally it is a typical Neapolitan cake rustic who is prepared with a filling of Escarole sauteed with a little oil and garlic, olives, capers, pine nuts, raisins, anchovies, all enclosed in a pizza dough.
In the past I was a version with addition of desalted salt cod and blanched, but now the salty sweet taste typical of this cake I added the spicy and sour from the latest Thai style influences.
Try it and tell me if it isn't great!
