gluten-free
Soft cake Marina Braito gluten free and with Blueberry jam
I was looking for inspiration to make a cake in a gloomy Sunday when I stumbled upon this must of the web, the soft cake Marina Braito gluten free with jam, so I decided to make a gluten-free and lactose-free version!! This is because in recent times more and more people around me, that for different reasons, have eliminated gluten from their diet, some people have discovered to be celiac, who took off because he started doing blood diet Dr. Mozzi, who instead just because she’s better, regardless of the reason I accepted the challenge of gluten free!
Red curry soup
We’re back speaking of Thai food, in the previous post on this topic I have talked about how and where to look for your ingredients (if you haven’t read or want to read here), but today we find that with these ingredients next do plenty including curry, in particular we begin with the Red curry paste!
First we will try to make it homemade, then with our pasta will prepare a delicious soup Gaeng Ped or simply the Red curry Soup.
This soup was voted the best dish of the evening in all thai dinners in which I proposed, so here I share it with you, I already know I’m happy a couple of girlfriends that eagerly await!
I must admit that I too the first curry paste I nailed her lead from London! But then I found a fantastic marble mortar to ikea and I made it at home despite some review, I wanted to see if it was good even with some ingredients in less!!! … and it’s delicious the same!! in fact the word curry “indicates a mixture of spices pounded in a mortar, forming a powder or a paste (depending on spices you use)” strongly scented “, then the very definition leaves open the interpretation also changes.
If you want you can try to make it your own by following the instructions you give you a result then you can use it a little at a time and kept it in a glass jar in the refrigerator, but if you don’t have time and want to do early can be found also in Ravenna at the jam packed ethnic shop in via Carducci of which did I mention that it offers different types!
Let’s start with the preparation
Chicken soup with coconut milk
By popular demand today I begin to share Thai recipes that I learned the Thai cooking class in Chiang Mai. My fav, so much so that it can consider my new comfort food par excellence, is the chicken soup with coconut milk (Tom Kha Kai), we'll start with this!
Probably the most difficult to accomplish, exclusively from the perspective of the research of ingredients, but don't worry, if you can't find them despite signs that give you for research, I have already experienced the possib
ILI substitutions with products available in Italy. An ingredient but I definitely find that this dish really does taste Thai, and is the lemongrass fresh!
Squid stuffed with hazelnuts and almonds for the holidays
The most successful dish of these festive days were the “Squid stuffed with hazelnuts and almonds,” brought to the table on Boxing Day! …. could not be different, were a delight, tender and delicious!
The week before Christmas I was looking for a recipe for making these imaginary calamari which had decided to bring to the table, but there was something I didn’t like someone. … This is always the biggest challenge in your kitchen, please all the participants to the table, especially for the holidays when it has often been in many!
The grandfather, who was a prisoner of the Germans during the second world war, does not like potatoes, eat only the white ones (though not very loving even those) while the other can’t even nominate, then it should be disposed of all recipes with potatoes; my mother prefers fish to meat and does not appreciate the tomatoes that are often paired with the fish! Thankfully not all are so demanding, my grandmother always like everything … and my dad likes things good with him is difficult I can go wrong!!
The solution was that I made up my own recipe, inspired by the thousand that I read in the previous days, and here’s the result!
If you want to try it, it is ideal for those who are thinking of fish brought to the table for new year’s Eve, of course … tell me if you like!

Simona rice cake
Today's post comes from a multiple collaboration!!
First: the recipe, for which I thank Simona that made me change my mind about the homemade rice cake!
I had never found a recipe for this cake that I met all the way and he had the strong scent of egg that has always given me the idea of "frittatona", until one fine day at the home of a friend, Simona precisely, taste his workhorse and I fell in love, so, needless to say, I do give her recipe. The secrets to avoid the effect "frittatona" are in addition of course to have a few eggs, rum, lemon, but especially the divide the eggs and put egg whites! My contribution, as a personal touch, the goodness of this cake are vanilla (instead of vanilla) and a nice cinnamon stick!.
Second: the presentation, for which I thank instead Serena Studio BÜ who was kind enough to lend me the plate of his creation that you see under the cake and my Christmas tree! If you run out of ideas for Christmas gifts, but not only, go and visit his site, there are lots of beautiful things!
