How Does A Person Develop An Eating Disorder

Sardines in a post a day ... and yogurt cakes and pies


But what I have been away from this "limbo" in the kitchen! Damn me, I do not find much time to devote to this "insane passion". I cook, I cook, I assure you! as always and even more than usual but this time I have so many things that I mix for the brain that sometimes do not photograph the plate, sometimes shooting thousand photos and then remain on the machine and the exhaust and some reckless child I eliminate them. Now the promise is dobbligo (because my faithful readers are always here to leave comments despite my inaction) and then ok ... a post a day keeps the doctor away! Oh, do not exaggerate, not Now, as often happens, I came up with a fix. Yes, one that when you find a recipe that you love starts to decline in 1000 versions. A mixture with yogurt. A simple mixture with yogurt!


I do not know what I have taken, but the result is turning out a flurry muffins, apple pies and cakes "smooth" with more or less the same ingredients for about a month. Today, even two identical small cakes and bake in unison (which is never left without dessert). Nor was a sweet pastry that high needs to be developed in the thousands of steps, but a very simple "throw it all together and mix." If someone happened to have a similar setting, is asked to come forward to help me out of the tunnel of yogurt!



300 g of flour baking powder 8 g 1 teaspoon baking soda
180 g sugar 2 eggs
  • 125 g greek yoghurt or cream (more if you want a sweet aromatic use it to fruit) 150 g of milk
  • 60 g butter, melted pinch of salt

  • vanilla Sift flour with baking powder and baking soda. Put in a bowl the sugar and eggs, beat well for a few minutes. United yogurt, salt and vanilla, mix for ammalgamare everything. Little time together the flour alternating with milk until all of both ingredients. Finally add the melted butter, making sure to incorporate it well, well. The dough should be nice and smooth and, raising his whip, to make the "ribbon". Possibly regulator with more or less milk.
  • Grease and flour pan, large or small, and pour the mixture. Preheat oven to 180 degrees and bake (about 25 to 30 min. Cupcakes, 45 to 60 min. The cake).
  • These doses are about 15 medium muffin pan or a 22 cm. Doubling the dough I got two cakes from 20 cm in diameter fired simultaneously.

You can add as desired: raisins, apples, chocolate chips, or eat it ... so smooth. Se chiusa in un porta torte resta morbida per alcuni giorni.
Ieri ho servito le ultime due fette di torta decorando i piatti con fettine di pesca e yugurt ( da: "come rendere appetibile un avanzo che ti guarda triste triste perchè tutti lo snobbano").

Se vi sovvengono altre varianti, siete pregati ...di non farvi venire la stessa fissa!

The Poggiarello and Open Cellars



Oggi un post è d'obbligo! Un post per ringraziare gli amici del " Il Poggiarello " che oggi, durante la manifestazione dedicata a "cantine aperte", mi ha gentilmente ospitata. La giornata, a parte il vento fresco, era piena di sole e luce e da questa dolce collina si apre un panorama davvero suggestivo sui vigneti e sulla Val Trebbia.



La degustazione era articolata in diverse tappe, e attraverso un percorso che si snodava tra i vigneti si raggiungevano le varie postazioni. Una speciale zona, dedicata ai vini riserva, è stata allestita nel bellissimo giardino a terrazzo; un ricco buffet ha accompagnato la mescita dei vini.
La famiglia Ferrari&Perini, si compone di numerosissime persone; zii, figli nipoti, nonni (molti of whom I've known since I was born) ... all actively involved in these events and all the front line to welcome guests with a smile and make people discover the wines and a company that is run by four generations of the pssione who love their work.


There will be comments from me on wines, tasting nothing for me today, in the drawer but I wish to extend my lack of knowledge of how to choose a day without fail a special wine pairing it with a special dish.

Here Poggiarello found another post ... but that's another story!

Islamic Wedding Card Message

Blocker "Versilia" and the story of a donut Sunday



of my childhood and left the sweet memory of my mother, on Sunday morning and early, was lavish in the kitchen for Sunday lunch. All week meals were consumed quickly between work, school and commitments of all, but Sunday was not Sunday without anything special. And then I read could not be missing, and in that case were of the obligation passatelli, or guinea fowl or roast duck. However, the menu is accompanied invariably with a nice donut. High above it a soft and beautiful crust of sugar. Not that my mom was an excellent cook, in fact, say that lacked the imagination that makes the cuisine varied and interesting, but since they are the flavors of my childhood ... pathetic? No I do not think, good or bad the food of our mothers, grandmothers or aunts are wonderful memories of taste and smell, even before visual.
All this background, to tell of my recent discovery, or rather rediscovery! The day before yesterday at the home of my father (the mother is not now for some year, unfortunately) by opening a mobile lounge, I found a cake mold that was exactly, what my mother used every Sunday, every Sunday of my childhood. 'S one of those aluminum molds with a lid that serves to make a small oven. It is laid directly over the flame of the stove and inside the dough, cover E. .. leaving a beautiful ring that releases a high and delightful fragrance throughout the house. Here's my olfactory memory!

When I opened my eyes, I came a smell of delicious cake that came from the kitchen and was the clear signal that it was Sunday and that I had my mom all day for me.
Finding this mold was a thrill really strong, and the idea of \u200b\u200bperpetuating the tradition, really compelling. Until this morning, did not even know his name die "Versilia", but looking for a recipe online that could give me some tips on how to use it, I came across recipes that call it so. They are generally keen observer, but I definitely had escaped the inscription on the cover of aluminum: Oreste Pardini spa - Oven VERSILIA patented.

The first attempt to say that we can define a test, mostly because the intensity of heat and cooking times are definitely to be calibrated, but the result was not disappointing at all.
My ring is the classic marbled, but I remember that my mother made it a banana with yogurt and pieces of pear, or a mashed banana in the dough. Well, now I just have to find my ideal and bake a cake every Sunday morning for eternity. Thanks mom!

200 g sugar 3 eggs
100 g butter, melted
  • 400 g of flour 1 glass of warm milk
  • grated rind of one lemon
  • little vanilla essence a pinch of salt 15 g

  • cream of tartar 1 tablespoon cocoa
  • Whisk in a bowl the eggs with sugar, salt, vanilla essence and lemon rind. United half the flour sifted with baking powder, and begin to incorporate it with the whip, if too thickens, add a little milk. Proceed with a few spoonfuls of milk Faria AC, finally dissolved add the butter and cool. Stir the mixture well, to be fluid and go down to tape. Divide into two bowls and add a tablespoon of cocoa. Mix well and, having greased and floured the oven "Versilia", pour the mixture alternating with cocoa to those without.
  • lid and put the stamp on the fire with the lowest spargifiamma. Leave it for a maximum of 5 min. then lower to low and simmer for about 30/40 min. without finding out. At this point, nothing should happen if you lift the lid to check the cooking, always leave a further 15 minutes on low fire.
  • As with all cakes, the rule applies to the toothpick. I must say that along the way I shot a few times and adjusted the cooking was slightly longer because they feared that burn at some point or interposed between the fire and mold a cast iron plate.
I think that among the many who follow my blog there are atrettanti happy owners of kitchen tools and who have inherited, for each one of them, a special significance. The great joy of being able to still use them makes it precious and irreplaceable.
