AmarettiDessertsItalian145'Very easyamarettiMid 1600s Venice, Republic of Venice./'From amaro or bitter'/ Amaretti are all about texture and flavor, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and with a slight bitterness from the almonds. Three core ingredients: almond, sugar, egg whites.20'TrueTrueFalseFalse

Homemade butterOtherFrench120'Very easybutter8000 BC, Africa.Italian butter culture motivated me to do it homemade. In contrast to other European countries, in Italy butter is used more as a cooking ingredient than a core element of breakfast, bread sandwiches and toasts: Italian butter stays hard too long, has almost no flavour and is always unsalted...20'FalseTrueTrueFalse
Pasta alla carbonaraMain coursesItalian115'Very easycarbonara1800s, Italy./'Pasta to the coal seller'/ The name 'Pasta alla carbonara' does not appear before WWII, where it was said to come from the interaction between American troops, rations, food scarcity and Italian cooks. The dish appeared however in the 1800s in Neapolitan cuisine, using lard instead of guanciale.10'TrueFalseFalseFalse

English curryMain coursesEnglish11hEasyenglishCurryMid 1700s London, England.The curry blend of spices as we know it was invented by British traders that brought spices from India to the British Isles. This quite mild mix adapted to the European palate coupled with the use of flour took away the Indian soul of the dish, but produced an interesting result nevertheless.30'FalseTrueFalseFalse

Homemade jam/jellyOtherLatin130'Very easyjam300s Rome, Ancient Rome. (De recoquinaria, Apicius)In Lanzarote we have the best black mulberries I've ever tasted. Unfortunately, I only get the chance to have some in June-July, which prompted me to make jam (and start with the strawberry one) and enjoy them longer. This recipe is not too sweet nor it needs any artificial source for pectin.10'FalseTrueTrueFalse

Not so bitter! Using a mokaOtherItalian13'Very easymokacoffee1933 Piedmont, Italy. (Alfonso Bialetti)Brewing coffee on a moka is easy, everybody does it. Everybody seems to be, however, used to the burnt and bitter flavour. This recipe explains how I do it for the tiramisù since I'm not used to coffee and I really notice the bitterness otherwise. Being less bitter makes it drinkable with less sugar too. The moka is a relatively new invention, in the name of a city in Yemen renowned for its coffee: Mocha.3'TrueTrueTrueTrue
