The Savoy Cabbage is a flavorful crinkled leaf cabbage, which I've been told is one of the best varieties for cooking. Its head consists of loose leaves, which vary in color from dark green to light green containing lacy patterned veins. I am still experimenting with recipes, but have found a real crowd pleaser with this pie. <br />

Was it lack of money, lack of architectural space or just pure joyful creativity? <br />

Besides, the Ligurians are more mountain folk than seamen and, in the absence of inaccessible rock-faces, they have always taken delight even in climbing their houses in order to paint them.” } -Taken from Andrea Battaglini</div><br />

The naturally sweet chestnuts add a special touch to a bean soup, marry beautifully with a mashed potato side dish, and an endless list of sweet treats. Most importantly, one of my 500g freezer bags was dedicated to a very special chestnut cake!

Not the same thing, but will make a nice substitute. Place the dried chestnuts in a large pot with plenty of water, and boil them until they become soft (it will take about 2-3 hours). Once soft, simply pass them through a vegetable press, or potato masher.

Today, there just happened to be a Gran Prix Uisp 2010 Race in Cogoleto, which was part competition race and part leisure walk . The Athletic League <a href="http://www.uisp.it/genova/index.php?idArea=126&contentId=368">Uisp</a> (Unione Italiana Sport Per tutti) is an athletic association with an objective to offer sporting activities to all the citizens.

I was thrilled when they invited me over to make couscous, as her mother-in-law brought semolina from Sicily. I jumped at the chance to see how it was made. I have only eaten the pre-cooked version, never the traditional couscous. (Semolina for couscous is a coarsely ground durum wheat, difficult to find here in Genova.)</div>"The couscous that is served today in the homes and the restaurants of the Trapani area has evolved in its own particular fashion. In the first place, it is almost always served with fish, as opposed to the meat or vegetable versions characteristic of the Maghreb, and the rituals of preparation differ as well. <br />
<br />
The proper Trapanese housewife disdains the precooked variety for the unprocessed, and sets great store by her ability to execute the <em>'ncocciata</em>: swirling the rough-ground semolina grains around with one hand in a wide ceramic basin called a <em>mafaradda</em>, she uses the other hand to sprinkle it with just enough water so the individual grains gather into loose but not lumpy clusters." -Mary Taylor Simeti, New Your Times<br />
<br />
For every handful of semolina, one spoon of salted water is added. <br />

(We also added shrimp.) Completely mixed, it is placed into an aluminum <em>couscoussiera</em>, a double boiler in which the tight-fitting upper pot is perforated like a colander. Some people still seals the two layers of the couscoussiera with a flour-and-water paste so the steam will not escape. The couscous is then steamed over water for two hours.

Well, one doesn't need a time machine to visit Colletta, a modern day mix of past, present, and future… <br />
<br />
There is a feeling of small town charm when you visit. We were greeted warmly when we walked into the Bar with the sweet smell of hot chocolate on the stove. We then pulled up a chair, sat down, and chatted away with one of the year round homeowners. She told us stories of the place and activities that were coming up in the near future. With a heartfelt smile, she described the warmth of the other towns people. For example, if one person happens to be leaving the town on errands, they ask the others if they need anything while they are out, using their ISDN telephones that are connected to one another throughout the town. Although it is not a genuine community as of yet, as most apartments are used as summer rentals, the hope is that one day people will embraced the concept of the village and stay year round, making it their home.<br />

A sweet layer of figs, covered with a rich dense vanilla cream.. I have used this Vanilla Cream recipe several different ways; filling for cream puffs, spread between cake layers, and on it's own served with a spoon. This is a favorite at Debbie's house and all come a running when it's time to enjoy.

Oh to have been around during the time of <i>Plinio il Vecchio</i> and to have seen the many dolphins swimming in the neighboring waters of this place... For it was he who first named this beautiful harbour "Portus Delphini" after his experiences here. <br />
<br />
The characteristic fishermen houses, that snugly line the coast of the harbour and reflect in the blue sea, are supported on one another and distinguished apart only by their delicate colors.<br />
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The importance of this village grew in the medieval age thanks to its natural port that offered secure landing and shelter to the sailing ships of the period. This happens to be the most famous harbour, and I've heard in the world, that is set in the middle of a natural peninsula formed by the inlet of Portofino Bay. <br />

Just a reminder, for <a href="http://siciliansimplicity.blogspot.com/search?q=Tortelli">fresh egg pasta</a>, 100g of durum wheat pasta, one egg, and a touch of salt.

The landscape was amazing as we searched for those very characteristic Mediterranean Pines (Stone Pine or Umbrella Pine). These raw pine nuts grown in the wild are adored throughout the world for their taste and texture. And here they are, literally at our fingertips! <br />

The tender leaves of the basil should never get near a heat source and a mixer could give off heat causing the leaves to wilt. Unfortunately we did not have the proper utensils, but I'll work on that for the next time! <i><br />

I have only one question. How many Focaccia places can be in one small town? Everywhere I turn there is another sign for Focaccia? Everyone must eat Focaccia here... ;) After all, I am in Genova and this is the focaccia genovese!

Cogoleto, our home for the next few months... My first walk through the town I found myself grinning from ear to ear. This place is so cute with a nice small town feeling. I'm so happy we decided to stay here, rather than in the city of Genova. Each have their our characteristics, but the slow pace, everyone knowing everyone environment, is more my taste. Needless to say, I have found all the pastry shops and will be trying my hand at creating "Dolci Tradizionali Genovesi".<span style="visibility: visible;" id="main"><span style="visibility: visible;" id="search"></span></span>..<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHMCzeUe1iKu66vu1pLc2ei-mBObuXYR3tCqOpIELZ-EgZYtpLLO-IHMd10BNAd0R2_DcmNQDqSl3VviDA7_3P9Pw7s4hmf1oXyXZTdOm_Bwi4mAdTr16OsOlgtSc85aNTS3u5/s1600-h/P1030965.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 181px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHMCzeUe1iKu66vu1pLc2ei-mBObuXYR3tCqOpIELZ-EgZYtpLLO-IHMd10BNAd0R2_DcmNQDqSl3VviDA7_3P9Pw7s4hmf1oXyXZTdOm_Bwi4mAdTr16OsOlgtSc85aNTS3u5/s320/P1030965.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427007513112807506" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjHh1yJQq9oSpBIlo6eLZsq9S3yzRc0DKEf2i3hyphenhyphenEJPF4EKd5AbC_UMz1xtJ3zmkHylDYSvNpmTiBCixlvjGvMRgDMw3Fsa4jrh1jVnBfuuchp0B8HQXjUscQ3XM6_4cRy9v27/s1600-h/P1030967.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 181px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjHh1yJQq9oSpBIlo6eLZsq9S3yzRc0DKEf2i3hyphenhyphenEJPF4EKd5AbC_UMz1xtJ3zmkHylDYSvNpmTiBCixlvjGvMRgDMw3Fsa4jrh1jVnBfuuchp0B8HQXjUscQ3XM6_4cRy9v27/s320/P1030967.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427007517301216418" border="0" /></a><br />There is an amazing lungomare for the whole length of the town.

I have been saving this post for a long time, as I wanted to post it once everything was complete. It took five months of preparation, but I have to say that it was well worth it! During the warm summer month of July, we set out with some friends to collect wild blackberries. This year we wanted to give a bottle of this unique sweet liqueur for Christmas, and we had just the right amount of time to do so. Once December came around, family and friends enjoyed all the sweetness of the summer...<br />

I happened upon a Pandoro form a few months back (maybe not a perfect shape), and I've been wanting to try my hand at making one. What a pleasure... The scent in the kitchen was amazing! Then, to share this perfumed loaf with those whom you love... Well, there is nothing better. AUGURI!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Pandoro</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">Biga </span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">This is a type <span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span>of pre-ferment used in italian baking. The biga adds complexity to the bread's flavor and is often used in breads which need a light, open texture.<br />
<br />
</div>-Flour 70 grams<br />
-Fresh yeast 10 grams<br />
-Water at room temperature 50 grams<br />
<br />
Procedure:<br />
Dissolve the fresh yeast in the water, then add the flour. Set aside to rise, double in size.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">First Mixture</span><br />
-Eggs 2<br />
-Flour 130 grams<br />
-Sugar 40 grams<br />
-Butter 40 grams<br />
<br />
Procedure:<br />
Mix all the ingredients in the <span style="font-style: italic;">First Mixture</span>, then add the <span style="font-style: italic;">Biga</span>. Mix well and set aside to rise, double in size.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">Second Mixture</span><br />
-Flour 270 grams<br />
-Sugar 100 grams<br />
-Eggs 3<br />
-Egg yolk 3<br />
-Salt 1 tsp<br />
-Rum 2 tbsp<br />
-Vanilla 1 tbsp<br />
-Melted Butter 250 grams<br />
<br />
Procedure:<br />
Mix all the ingredients in the <span style="font-style: italic;">Second Mixture</span>, then add the <span style="font-style: italic;">First Mixture</span>. Form a ball and place the dough into a buttered pandoro form. Set aside to rise for 10-12 hours. Bake at 180° C for about an hour. Leave to cool and then flip the form over.<br />

Yesterday, I visited my friend Anna, who lives just above my town in Presa, and I came home with a beautiful basket of vibrant cachi. I will now leave a few of them to ripen in my fruit bowl, next to a handful of apples, and in no time we will be enjoying this juicy, sweetly tangy, versatile fruit. (The apple will emit ethylene gas, a naturally occurring hormone, which speeds up the ripening process.)<br />

<span style="font-style: italic;">If you are interested, here are a few Health benefits of the persimmon fruit:</span><br />
<br />
Persimmons contain many health benefiting phyto-nutrients flavonoid poly-phenolic anti-oxidants like catechins and gallocatechins as well as important anti-tumor compound betulinic acid. Catechins are known to have anti-infective, anti-inflammatory and anti-hemorrhagic (prevents bleeding from small blood vessels) properties.<br />
<br />
Fresh permissions contain anti-oxidant compounds like vitamin-A, beta carotene, lycopene, lutein, zeaxanthin and cryptoxanthin. These compounds functions as protective scavengers against oxygen-derived free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) that play a role in aging and various disease processes.<br />
<br />
Zeaxanthin, an important dietary carotenoid, selectively absorbed into the retinal macula lutea in the eyes where it is thought to provide antioxidant and protective light-filtering functions; thus, helps prevent "Age related macular disease"(ARMD) in the elderly.<br />
<br />
The fruits are also very good source of vitamin-C, another powerful antioxidant. Regular consumption of foods rich in vitamin C helps body develop resistance against infectious agents and scavenge harmful, pro-inflammatory free radicals.<br />
<br />
The fruit is good in many valuable B-complex vitamins such as folic acid, pyridoxine (vitamin B-6), thiamin...etc. These vitamins acts as co-factors for numerous metabolic enzymatic functions in the body.<br />
<br />
Fresh Persimmon fruits also contain healthy amounts of minerals like potassium, manganese (15% of DRI), copper (12% of DRI) and phosphorus. Manganese is a co-factor for the enzyme superoxide dismutase, which is a very powerful free radical scavenger. Copper is a co-factor for many vital enzymes, including cytochrome c-oxidase and superoxide dismutase (other minerals function as cofactors for this enzyme are manganese and zinc). Copper is also required for the production of red blood cells.Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17726352825467150791noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26334088.post-15417111314983802532009-11-29T10:06:00.011+01:002009-11-29T14:31:17.275+01:00Sapone<div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiICqRREo43d-EsHP2u_tl1bxYs95o8yQ0NIDv4n2pUuR5DE2xRxEtdtrI45VZi0WYgaCeDsoCZOtl3ePIE1mER2eAxftg1UnHIVdvBjVBzTga8BMVGdZXgP5DJl7xmXvB00ksZ/s1600/camera+pictures+181.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiICqRREo43d-EsHP2u_tl1bxYs95o8yQ0NIDv4n2pUuR5DE2xRxEtdtrI45VZi0WYgaCeDsoCZOtl3ePIE1mER2eAxftg1UnHIVdvBjVBzTga8BMVGdZXgP5DJl7xmXvB00ksZ/s400/camera+pictures+181.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409453466183136898" border="0" /></a>

<br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">There's no question olive oil is good for your skin. After all, many people use it as a moisturizer straight out of the bottle! They simply rub extra virgin olive oil into their skin, just as you would any other moisturizing oil or lotion. Many claim it can help you keep a youthful appearance, too! I, however, haven’t gone that far.</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I do however use </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argan_oil">Argan Oil</a> and do recommend it.<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">

nutritive and therapeutic properties of prickly pears and thought of it as a holy plant with strong symbolic values.</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"> </span><span style="font-family:georgia;">They extracted a rich natural dark red dye, carmine.</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"> </span><span style="font-family:georgia;">Just to extract carmine, in 1500 the prickly pears were grown in Europe.</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"> </span><span style="font-family:georgia;">Soon their other</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"> </span><span style="font-family:georgia;">properties were appreciated: their high nutritive value due to the copious presence of minerals such as calcium and phosphorus and the abundant amount of vitamin C.</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"> </span><span style="font-family:georgia;">In fact large quantities of prickly pears were stocked on ships in order to prevent scurvy during long crossings.</span>
