  • Greek yoghurt mousse with wood berries and crumble

    25 min.
    (Leave a review)

    We all like to eat a nice dessert after a good meal, but we often have to fight with our health or diet… and you know who is the winner.
    This is not the case!! Low-fat Greek yogurt, (naturally low-fat) ricotta, no sugar added, the only unhealthy parts are shortbread and a little butter, but they are nothing compared to the whole dessert and its great and refreshing taste.
    Try it, you won’t regret it!

    A pretty unique and great appetizer, it was more common some decade ago, today fried zucchini flowers are way more common.
    Although I make fried sage almost every year at home (only when my sage delivers large leaves) I don’t see this dish on a menu since the last century!

    Some dishes immediately have the power to evocate memories.. this is one of those. When I was a young kid my grandma used to make it when I visited her on the Adriatic coast. That was a great breakfast. My grandma used lard as an ingredient, I used butter and replaced half of the sugar with a whole brown one, making it darker, a bit healthier, and with a pleasant licorice taste.
    It”s a quick and easy dish, I even cook it in the air fryer to do it faster!

    One of the starters or side dishes preferred by many Italians, they are light and crunchy and they immediately remind our summer meals under the porch.

    There is no spring in Tuscany without fava beans!
    Fava beans with Pecorino is my favorite spring appetizer but there are also many other ways to enjoy fava beans, such as gnocchi.
