turned to bricklaying ?

No, I didn’t turn to bricklaying (yet). This is just black rice flour resembling cement.

honey, it’s me !

A honey glass jar was what remained from a Vanity Fair (Italian issue) assignment (food stylist: Sandra Longinotti). So I used this strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo) honey to prepare an easy dessert made of pears cooked in some water, sugarcane, little cinnamon and Porto wine. Excellent! I love the strawberry tree honey taste: bitterish and slightly resinous.

beer and restaurants

Interesting post by food critic Gigi Padovani (here) about the increasing number of chefs who are adding beers to their drinks selection. The new Guida Espresso has a new “Le tavole della birra” section in which 184 restaurants, wine-bars, etc., have been highlighted – some of which having a high ranking.

For Italian speaking only
