I Introduce Myself

I close the eyes and think at beautiful moments passed in the places that I have had the pleasure to visit.

The memory of the words exchanged with people that I will not meet more, feel smell of a cake eaten for case in a place for case and…not forget more the sapore..

Conserve of every place the colors, the scents, the culture.

I'm Italia of the south, I have 35 years and two beautiful twin children . Open this blog is for me like opening the doors of my house, propose my recipes and receive the yours, make known to you our traditions and know those yours, to make along travel through the wealth of the foods that my earth offers every day and portami to house something of yours. I am Italian, and I decided to write a blog in English to learn (I ask excuse for the errors!!) and because I would want to share all this with who as me through the kitchen it succeeds to dream…

CREMA PASTICCERA



The Crema pasticcera is a classic of Italian pastries, is used to fill tarts, choux pastries, cakes pastry as cannoli, puff pastries, as well as pan di spagna and desserts.
My cream is very simple as the traditional one, the only difference is the number of yolks used, my recipe provides only two.
Ingredients

3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon of rice starch
1 tablespoon of wheat starch
1 / 3 cup (70gr) sugar 
zest of one lemon
16, 9 fl. oz (500ml) milk
Whip the egg yolks with the sugar and add the rice starch and wheat starch.
Meanwhile,bring to a boil cook without  milk with the lemon zest. Add milk to the egg mounted and cook  stirring constantly,  for a simmer slow minutes to fire at least until the mixture thickens. Turn off the heat and let cool, stirring occasionally.
And 'possible to replace the lemon zest, with a vanilla bean; simply whip the egg yolks with the sugar, add the vanilla pod and then the corn starch and wheat.
Follow the next steps of the recipe
