What does it mean to be Italian (Un Rital)?

I' ll never forget when I was very young, someone asked me if I was French, I said yes, my Father quickly said, Oh No Battista, you are Italian, don't ever forget that ! My Grand Mother (La mamma) gave me the best gift of my life, she took me to Italy where I experienced my true Italian culture. The feelings of Love and sharing of families I'd never meet before, how lucky to be born an Italian. Growing up in a predominately Italian neighborhood in France really kept my roots alive. All my friends were Italian/Sicilian or ...

Grape Schiacciata. (My Mum’s way)

Grape Schiacciata     here’s what I think I know about schiacciata: Schiacciata is a Tuscan flatbread, similar to — or is it a type of, or another name for? — focaccia. Schiacciata is pronounced something like skya-CHA-ta, and means “crushed” or “squashed” in Italian. Schiacciata can be plain or filled with fruit, vegetables, meat, or cheese. Grape schiacciata (schiacciata con l’uva) is a traditional version that celebrates the Tuscan grape harvest. It typically uses wine grapes (with seeds). I used seedless black grapes. Schiacciata can be made as a rich, sweet pastry with eggs and lard, or as a ...

BlogSpot Highlight : Children Menu from the Hardboiled Chef

Hardboiled Chef http://hardboiledchef.blogspot.com/ Grease splatters & food matters. The Children's Menu   The standoff 'Children's Menu'...The very words beckon a red mist to my beleaguered chef’s brain.  Children’s menus are unnecessary, cheapen the establishment and are, quite simply, naff.  Surely, now that Britain is basking in a golden age of celeb chefs, influential restaurants and general foodie madness; we can do away with this sad and cheesy little document.  Half portions from the a la carte or starters should suffice, no?  How condescending to our little people ...

Accidental Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

I had half scribbled notes on a scrap piece of paper. Not a full recipe. Didn't even know how much peanut butter was suppose to go it. Honestly, I wasn't sure about these until they cooled off and were ready to be eaten. Peanut Butter Meringues are what they really are, definitely far from the average peanut butter cookie of my youth. Whatever they are, they were fantastic. Accidental Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies 1 Egg White 220g Sugar 1 tsp Vanilla Extract 220g Chunky Peanut Butter Preheat oven to 180. Beat egg white to stiff peak. Beat in sugar and vanilla. Fold in peanut butter--streaks of it are ok. Dollop ...

How to cheat at Sunday roast

How to cheat at Sunday roast Masterchef presenter and owner of Smiths of Smithfield, John Torode, shares his tricks for a traditional lunch 1. Simple roast beef Get a good quality, big four-bone rib of beef, score the fat and salt it.

Perfect Yorkshires While the meat is resting, use its fat for your Yorkshires. Pop a splash of fat into each of the moulds in a muffin tray and ...

Ravioli alla…. is it really autumn all ready ??

Radicchio and artichokes are both in the sunflower family, so it makes sense that they would have a few flavor compounds in common, but I had never actually tasted the similarity before–probably because I almost never cook radicchio. So I started to think about using them together in something. Once I got home with the artichokes, it took a minute to convince myself that I wanted to do something other than make my beloved carciofi alla romana. I prepped them the same way–snapping the leaves off right above the edible base, digging the choke out with a teaspoon–but then I cut ...
