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…

CAKE PEAR AND PARMESAN (TORTA DI PERE E PARMIGIANO)





This is a very special cake, surely will appeal to gourmets. I love cheese served with sweet creams as jam or honey.
In fact today I was at lunch from my sister and made me taste a marmalade orange and chili accompanied by different types of chesses and a few slices of pear . Really extraordinary!!!
So got home I immediately thought of this recipe that I hope will not disappoint ...




Ingredients


for the shortbread:


2  1/4 cups flour (250gr)
3, 52 oz.  butter (100gr)
3, 52 oz. sugar
2 egg yolks
1 sachet of vanilla
grated rind of one lemon


for the filling


custard
4 pears
2/3 cup sugar (150gr)
3,52 oz grated Parmesan cheese (100gr)
13, 5 fl. oz fresh cream (400ml)
1/3 cup butter (80 gr)
4 eggs



As always for the shortbread, combine all the ingredients until the mixture is homogeneous and let it rest in the fridge.
Peel the pears,cut into slices, cook high heat in the pan with the butter and 1/4 cup (55gr) of sugar, cook for 10 minutes, remove from heat and let cool.
Beat the eggs in a bowl with the remaining sugar and the grated parmesan cheese, pour the fresh cream and mix.
Grease and flour a cake pan.
Roll out the dough with a rolling pin, coated the cake pan, pour the custard, lay the pears and cover with the fresh cream mixture.
Bake the cake at 356 F° (180°) degrees for about 40 minutes, remove it from the oven and let cool before serving.
