We started this project at school and it was supposed to end with a beautiful event in April. "A TASTE OF EXETER " was the name of the event and we were all involved,together with other students from other classes, to present a menu designed upon typical Exeter recipes.
We were excited to be supervised by our SPECIAL GUEST : MARK STOYLE FROM EXETER and we were ready for the Challenge: prepare a typical dessert from Exeter!

We are not happy with this but we want to explain our project in this way. Enjoy the reading.

LET'S TALK ABOUT BRITISH FOOD

2020-04-23 14:10:52 UTC

In Great Britain there are various types of food but in particular I would like to introduce you to some desserts:
"Anglo-Saxon muffins" is what I choose for you.
They are small cakes that are usually eaten for breakfast and can be of various flavors such as blueberries, chocolate etc .... Then we have the pudding which has the consistency of a pudding and is usually a dessert of the Christmas tradition. Then the English pies that are usually contrasted with various flavors between sweet and savory and are often enriched with cheeses and cheese creams. Then the crumble that there are two different versions, both sweet and savory, but the most common version is the sweet one which is prepared with fruit and a crumbly dough. Finally we have the shortcake which is made with of sponge cake or even corn muffins stuffed with strawberries mixed with vanilla sugar.

SCONES

2020-04-23 14:27:41 UTC

For the British, tea is a tradition and this drink is often accompanied by desserts such as scones which are soft rolls stuffed with clotted cream and strawberry jam or if you wish, I can also be stuffed with salty foods (cheese, cold cuts , etc). Originally the word scones referred to a flat and round focaccia. Today this focaccia is called bannock. Over the years they have added ingredients and changed their shape.

Hello everybody,  I'd like  to tell you about the typical desserts of Great Britain
Britain is popular with many desserts, among them there is the Battenberg Cake, a very famous English dessert, created in honor of the wedding between the granddaughter of Queen Victoria and the German prince of the Battenberg family, it is a butter cake coated with marzipan and composed of two colored doughs that are arranged in checkered and held together by apricot jam and traditionally served with afternoon tea. The Carrot Cake is very particular: a high and soft carrot cake enriched with almond flour, hazelnuts or other nuts, packed in several layers and stuffed with fresh creamy cheese mixed with butter, sugar and vanilla, all covered with a delicious icing.
Finally we find the Chelsea Bun, a typical dessert and perhaps one of the best of the English tradition.
It was created in London in the eighteenth century at the Bun House in Chelsea (then demolished in 1839), it is a soft swivel-shaped brioche, made of leavened dough flavored with lemon peel, cinnamon or mixed spices, before being served. the typical spiral shape, the dough is enriched with a mixture of currants, raisins or candied fruit, brown sugar and butter.

BRITISH DESSERTS

English food has always been multicultural, in fact English cuisine was influenced by the Romans and in the Middle Ages by the French, thus discovering new flavors. Desserts have also changed.
English sweets are very tied to religious holidays. An example can be the "hot cross buns" is a spiced sweet bun with raisins, it is used to make it on Good Friday.
The "plum puddings" is made at Christmas has a round shape and is based on eggs, almonds, candied fruit, rum and spice. Usually it is served flambé and decorated with holly.
As we have seen in these desserts in England spices are used a lot to make them more fragrant and good.

BRITISH VS INDIAN DESSERTS...

2020-04-23 20:07:16 UTC

Sweets and desserts are an integral part of Indian cuisine. There’s a wide variety of Indian desserts to choose from, made from all kinds of ingredients, like condensed milk, nuts, fruits, flour, and more. The composition and recipes of the sweets and other ingredients vary by region. One of my favourite is Gurab Jamun the good old delight made with khoya, fried golden and finally dipped in saffron induced sugar syrup. Also a festive favourite! You'll be surprised how easily you can try these at home.

ITALIAN VS BRITISH DESSERTS

2020-04-23 21:47:51 UTC

Sweets of refined flavor, able to make the palate of entire generations dream, from a simple hour of tea in a typical Coffee house or aperitif in the picturesque Piazza Navona, bring to mind millennial traditions characteristic of entire people and historical periods. From Tiramisù to Crumbles, from Amaretti to Victoria Sponge Cakes, to Neapolitan Babà and London Cupcakes recall the essence of these two lands... and you, Great Britain or Italy, which side are you on?

I’m very impressed with the work of the Terracina students. I have learned about some Devon specialities, and want to taste them. The apples from our region are great but so are the figs from Terracina, which I enjoyed when I stayed there. Bravo for your work and Buona Fortuna.
