The secret for a great Tiramisu ? I personally believe is in the quality of the ingredients: a good Mascarpone, an Italian coffee blend and possibly home made Savoiardi (ladyfingers) biscuits... This is how I prepare 4 single portion Tiramisu My Tiramisu   Ingredients: Egg yolk                                                       3 X Sugar                                                          60 gr Mascarpone (any other cheese's FORBIDDEN!)                              ...

An easy and light dessert! Here is what you need: 125 gr of raspberries 45 gr of sugar 3 x sheets of gelatin (to be softened in cold water  in advance ) 1 glass of water  Wash the  raspberries  and then dry them with a piece of kitchen paper, Blend the raspberries with a kitchen  blender, Add the water to dilute the puree and then transfer it in a small casserole, Add the sugar and the gelatin and gently warm the liquid up to allow sugar and gelatin to melt, Remove the casserole from the stove and let it cool down a bit before pouring in small glass containers Leave the glasses in the fridge for at least 3 hours  Tips: You can filter the raspberry puree (before adding sugar and gelatin) if you want to get rid of the seeds Remove the dessert from the fridge 15 minutes before eating it  Add a couple of drops of a great balsamic vinegar Comments: GREAT!!! No negative comments this time! :-)

Let's start by showing how they look like! If you are looking for appetizers easy to prepare, that's what you should go for!!! Ingredients: a round pizza dough, mozzarella cheese, black olives, tomato sauce, EVO oil, garlic, oregano and salt. What really makes the difference (that's my opinion), is to prepare the sauce a good 15-20 minutes before using it. I put the tomato sauce in a bowl, then added 2 soup spoons of EVO oil, 2 or 3 peeled garlic cloves (that you'll imperatively remove before seasoning the dough), 3 pinches of dried oregano and 1 small pinch of salt. I've mixed the all thing twice while preparing other things. I cut the mozzarella in small cubes, pit the olives and cut them in pieces. I spread the sauce and added the mozzarella and olives on top. I rolled the pizza dough. Cut 3 cm large slices... ...and put them in silicon moulds. To do this, I've rotated by 90°C each slice and opened-up the upper part.  20 minut...

That has been my first time preparing a dessert you eat with a spoon (ITA: Dolce al cucchiaio )! PANNA COTTA (a dessert originally from Piedmont, but now prepared everywhere in the world) Those are the ingredients I have used: PANNA COTTA 500 ml liquid cream 150 gr of sugar 1 soup spoon of vanilla pod powder (to be put in tea filters as shown in the picture, so that you can remove it before pouring); alternatively use a vanilla pod (that you will anyway remove) 7 sheets (around 13 gr) of gelatin Gelatin sheets need to be softened in cold water for 10 minutes. Remove water by  gentle squeezing the gelatin before using it. I have dissolved the sugar in the liquid cream by stirring for few minutes while warming (not boiling!) the saucepan. I have added the tea filter containing the vanilla pod powder and infused it for 7-8 minutes while stirring. Then I have added the gelatine sheets and stirred until they have been completely melted.  Eventually I r...

There will be things I have never prepared before so READ the COMMENTS section at the end of each pos t!
