WHY I CHOSE THIS DISH ?

In Albania, there's no important celebration without baklava. I chose this dish because it represents the heart of Albanian traditions and to demonstrate how a dish can retain its identity for centuries , while remaining a symbol of celebrations. I still remember the first time I tasted it. I was little and I looked with curiosity at that enormous pan full of perfect, shiny diamonds. When I took a piece, what struck me was its the perfect sweetness, and in that moment I realized it had become my favorite dish.

Chocolate pudding is that creamy, velvety dessert you make by cooking milk, melted dark chocolate, sugar, and cornstarch until it gets a firm consistency, then chill it in the fridge. It's a home classic, super versatile and loved for its simplicity and intense flavor perfect in single portions with cocoa on top or whipped cream.

Ingredients for 6 molds (150-200 ml):

750 ml whole milk

150 g dark chocolate (50-70%)

120 g sugar

75 g butter

60 g cornstarch

1 and a half vanilla pods (or 1 and a half packets)

Unsweetened cocoa to taste

Quick method: Chop and melt chocolate with butter and vanilla in a double boiler. Mix cold milk, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan, bring to a boil stirring vigorously, add the chocolate, and cook 2-3 minutes until it thickens. Pour into wet molds, cover with plastic wrap touching the surface, and fridge for 3-4 hours. Unmold or eat straight from the mold.

I chose it because when I don't feel like cooking anything complicated, this is my lifesaver: under 15 minutes with stuff I always have at home, no eggs or oven, and while it chills I study peacefully. It reminds me of summer afternoons at the beach after a fun day it's a cool, indulgent hug, perfect when motivation is zero, with that unique creaminess from dark chocolate that recharges you without weighing you down.

If you've never made it at home during total laziness moments, what are you waiting for? It's a breeze—make it and get conquered! 🍮🍫🥄

•200g Cherry tomatoes

•​1 bunch of fresh Flat-leaf Parsley​

•½ glass of dry White Wine

Why did I choose this dish🧐?

I chose this dish because it reminds me of when I was a child. My grandmother lived near to the sea, and she used to cook these spaghetti for me every time I visited her.

​Now, every time I taste it, I remember those flavors and those happy moments. It is not just a simple dish for me; it's like going back in time to my childhood and my grandmother’s house. It is made with typical ingredients from Livorno, my grandmother's city, which give the spaghetti a unique flavour that I love. If you've never tried spaghetti seafood, what are you waiting for? Try it As Soon As Possible!

THE INGREDIENTS:

type 00 flour

butter

powdered sugar

egg yolks (the outer part of the egg)

acacia honey

lemon peel

vanilla bean

fine salt

THE REASON WHY I CHOSE THIS RECIPE:

I chose this recipe because it’s very important to me. My uncle who died a few months ago was very good cook with a special heart even if it malfunctions. Since I was child he always cooked me a delicious tart with apricot jam: the only dessert i liked. I was very fond of my uncle and I always asked him to prepare my favourite cake. The apricot jam tart remains my favourite cake.

﻿﻿For the "crumbs" (the dough): flour, sugar, cold butter, egg, and a teaspoon of baking powder.

﻿﻿For the filling: fresh ricotta cheese, sugar, and dark chocolate chips.

﻿﻿Optional: A bit of vanilla extract or lemon zest for extra flavor.

This cake is the perfect example of how something "imperfect" can be wonderful. The name Sbrisolona comes from the Italian word "briciola" (crumb). You don't need to roll the dough or make it look elegant; you simply use your hands to create irregular pieces of dough.

I chose this dish for a very special reason: it represents my childhood. My mum has always made this cake for me since I was a little girl. I have many memories of her in the kitchen, mixing the ingredients to create those typical "crumbs" (in fact, "sbriciolare" means to crumble).

Today, it is a recipe that everyone in my family loves, and we bake it very often, especially on Sundays. Since I learned how to make it, I often help my mum or prepare it myself for our family dinners. It is our favorite way to spend time together.

I want to keep this tradition alive and, in the future, I would like to pass this habit down to my own family. I want them to enjoy the same delicious smell and the joy of sharing these sweet crumbs together, just like we do now.

Why I chose this recipe

I chose this recipe because it is very special to me. Crêpes are the first dish I learned to cook by myself. I remember that I was very excited and happy when I made them for the first time without my parents' help.

I really like crêpes because they are delicious and easy to prepare. You only need a few simple ingredients like eggs, flour, and milk. Also, I love them because I can eat them with Nutella or jam when I want something sweet, but they are also great with ham and cheese for a salty snack. They are my favorite food to share with my friends!

I chose this recipe because it is deeply tied to my childhood and my family. I used to bake these coconut cookies with my grandmother all the time when I was little, and those are some of my most cherished memories. We had so much fun together in the kitchen; it wasn't just about the food, but the time we spent sharing stories and laughing.

To be honest, I really miss baking these cookies with her. Even now, every time I taste one, the flavor immediately takes me back in time. It's like a journey through my memories, reminding me of those happy afternoons we spent together. I chose this dish because it’s not just a dessert to me. it’s a piece of my heart.
