PASTRY
A QUESTION OF NUMBERS The mathematical science of confectionery has been around for centuries, as can be seen by Leonardo Di Carlo’s daily work, during which he listens to colleagues and works hard to encode every method, ingredient, and request
Ever since adolescence, Di Carlo’s CV has been a continual training ground. Class of 1974, he was basically born in a laboratory: his parents owned a pasticceria in Rome, which was sold at the start of 2000. And so, after classes, workshops and competitions,
2
Leo, a populariser by nature, with a healthy sense of irony and humour, decided to dedicate himself to consulting, which was based not only on his knowledge of shop life, but also on time dedicated to study, reading, travel, experimentation, and a comparison bet-
ween Italian colleagues and foreign ones. This requires time, making it difficult to run a workshop effectively. This is the basic choice that distinguishes Leonardo, who has an impressive past with numerous significant titles to his name, such as third place at the
2010 - www.pasticceriainternazionale.com - n. 17
Coupe du Monde of Lyons in 2001, during which he also won the prize for best chocolate dessert, and 1st place at the UIPGC World Championship 2004. Through direct consulting and training courses, are you able to measure yourself against many colleagues: what do you feel on a professional level? Most of all, that the pastry chef wants increasingly to become a culturally prepared professional with regards ingredients, in-depth knowledge of raw materials, and recipe procedures. In short, he wants more than just the usual recipe; he wants technical knowledge too. Tell us of the most common questions. Simplicity, rationality and goodness: most colleagues require these three things to be able to take on the logistical organisation of the workshop, demotivated staff, poor technical knowledge of the product, all geared towards obtaining simple and good products that are easy and fast to make for all workers. What weaknesses do you come across most? The young, with their enthusiasm for everything related to aesthetics, tend to neglect the basics, which are a key aspect if you want to develop as a professional. Never let things go to your head and always seek to learn, no matter how old you are. Knowing how to make a good sponge cake or pastry is much more important that the beautiful artistic presentation of a dish or cake. What are your most frequent rewards? Feedback is almost always positive and usually customers call me back after a few days to tell me what happened after the consultation. The best thing they can tell me is that we hit the bull’s-eye and especially that the products presented were appreciated by the customers. Do you believe in confectionery as a science, an idea already known in the 1800s? Confectionery is based on numbers and percentages. I know there is a rule for everything, and that is why I am looking for them. It is important to know the end sweetness of a recipe, to understand its feasibility, the per-
centage of fat, eggs, yeast... everything must be weighed out at the start. Just reading a recipe you get an intuitive feel if it will turn out balanced, but you must know how to do it. After all, the simpler the recipe the more the product will be sold. So you develop the concept of recipes while clearing the myth of secret formulas, right? The recipe is secondary and is not the main part of the consultancy (you can email it). I call them technical cards because I list all details such as cooking, depending on the client's oven, average weights, duration, packaging, storage... For me the recipe is worth nothing when compared to the transmission of knowledge and the motivation of staff. Regardless of international trends, how do you see the future of the sector? I am a positive thinker, although right now we need a good dose of extra optimism. I believe that those who invest in quality raw materials and keeping up to date, in order to offer quality and original products, through testing and appropriate laboratory organization, will come out a winner. Those who seek to save, while offering a poor display, lacking any ability to generate the impulse buy, are destined to suffer because the clientele will not keep an artisan company alive on price alone. Looking ahead, what are the techniques used little today that will be able to make a difference? Surely rationalization in production, or being able to make a versatile semi-finished product. For example: I study a baked dough that I will combine with different types of fillings or toppings of different tastes. Storing it in the best hygienic conditions, helped by the technology of the cold chain, I can work quietly, offering a wide range of products and have time to experiment with new ones. Will the future of the sector see increasing synergy between sweet, cooking, and gelato: what do you envisage and how do you interpret this? Very good synergy, but we must never improvise. Each combination requires a previous study, whereby it is tested and then offered to

desserts based on? Since I started as a pastry chef, I like to see what I can take from confectionery and place on a plate, without falling into the easy mistake of using a monoportion with the usual sauce. In terms of flavours and consistency it is important that there are at least three contrasts. For me the plate is a canvas on which the chef, like the painter, applies his imagination. I can not deny that many inspirations come to me while travelling, looking at or tasting new products.
customers, providing the right knowledge to grasp even the most delicate of details. With recipes, are you more for tradition or for a fusion of foreign cultures? Usually my recipes contain a lot of tradition and, especially when I have to present a sweet abroad, I let all my Italian culture come out. But I do not disdain a foreign recipe; I might modify it with more Italian tastes, but I am happy to make cakes of other nations in my classes: it is like giving bits of culture from another country to people who can not travel or can only take these recipes from books. What does understanding a recipe and making it your own mean for you? Having my recipe understood is one of my primary objectives. Only once it is understood can it be worked on. My mission is to convey knowledge, so every new recipe of mine becomes that of my colleagues if I am
able to adapt it to their way of working. “The true essence of knowledge, once you have it, is to convey it": Confucius and I were of like mind! What philosophy are your restaurant
What is the difference between lab and kitchen? Catering gives a more open vision: the cook has different ingredients such as oil, vinegar and olives, which in confectionery are normally used for savoury products. Not only in terms of ingredients, but also with regards presentation, plated desserts offers more possibilities. For example, for some of the desserts I use a wall tile instead of a plate, an airtight jar for a glassed sweet, a plate of

of refractory stone that keeps the heat, and other containers with special shapes. What are your favourite ingredients? First of all olive oil, which I often use instead of butter. I also make an olive-oil based short pastry, adopting special practices such as preparing the dough between two sheets of baking paper, given that its consistency makes it much harder to work than a traditional pastry. Other ingredients that I like are dried fruit (hazelnuts, almonds) and chestnuts. In general I prefer Italian ingredients, but with a very personal touch.
“Beauty passes but taste remains, which is what makes the customer come back for more”
What are the biggest problems a chef faces in preparing a dessert? Time, which is always missing, and also space, which is usually insufficient.
Do you want to give any advice? Use high quality raw materials. If you have a basic knowledge and good raw materials you can achieve whatever you want. Clearly you also need to take care over presentation; for some this may come naturally, for others it is more difficult. Can you give us a final suggestion. I have no secret. My strength is that I love what I do. Coming back to Confucius: “If you love what you do, it will never be work”. Livia Chiriotti

Duciezio is the Sicilian confectionery and gelato Association presided over by journalist and photographer Salvatore Farina, and supported by a group of well known local pastry chefs. With the aim to promote the historical and cultural heritage of the region, they organized in April the first edition of Mostra del Dolce Siciliano (Sicilian Sweet Expo) in Randazzo, near Etna volcano, so that people could discover traditional sweets coming from all over the island. A competition among students took place too, and participants had to give their own interpretation of the typical Sicilian Cassata. A jury chaired by Milena Novarino (“Pasticceria Internazionale”) and composed by pastry chefs – Isidoro Bonarrigo, Luca Caviezel, Nuccio Daidone, Santi Palazzolo, Saretto Pappalardo and Salvatore Scarpulla – declared Claudio Anzolone of San Rocco institute, Caltanissetta, the winner. During the event, the Pupaccena Prize (Pupaccena are traditional figures of men and women made of sugar for the Day of the Dead, representing relatives who have passed away) was awarded to the four people that most helped to promote the identity, culture and image of Sicily: Luca Caviezel, for his studies about gelato science and tecnology; Giovanni Sollima, cellist and music composer; Francesco Condorelli, in memory for his nougat, and Don Santino Spartà, journalist.

IDENTITÀ LONDON RETURNS WITH A MORE INTERNATIONAL TASTE
Identità London is back stronger than ever and concentrates on a more international assembly of the world’s most fascinating chefs. The focus of the 2010 congress – taking place in Vinopolis, Southbank, 7th and 8th June – is themed around The Luxury of Simplicity, which centers on creatively being driven from the ingredient and its seasonality. It showcases the creation of dishes using less celebrated produce that require the intuition and creativity of the chefs, as well as their skill and artistry, to elevate the flavours of each component ingredient. This reflects the international trend towards more simple and natural cuisines, with a growing emphasis on specific raw foods. The list of international chefs includes Daniel Patterson (Coi, San Francisco), Wylie Dufresne (WD50, New York), Alex Stupak (WD50, New York), David Chang (Momofuku, New York), Alvin Leung (Bo Innovation, Hong Kong), Alexandre Gauthier (La Grenouillere, Montreuil-sur-Mer, France), Heinz Beck (Apsley, London & La Pergola, Rome). Among the British chefs there are Ashley Palmer-Watts (The Fat Duck, Bray), Jason Atherton (Maze, London).
The Italian group is composed by Massimo Bottura (Osteria Francescana, Modena), Gennaro Esposito (Torre del Saracino, Naples), Davide Scabin (Combal Zero, Torino), Niko Romito (Reale, L’Aquila), Andrea Berton (Trussardi alla Scala, Milano), Enrico and Roberto Cerea (Da Vittorio, Bergamo). Founder and Italian food editor, Paolo Marchi said - who this year will be co-hosting with Tom Parker Bowles, “After the astounding success of Identità London 2009 – the first Identità venture outside Italy – I’m delighted that chefs from New York to Hong Kong are joining us to celebrate this year’s theme. This of course is underpinned by the core spirit of the congress, as an ambassadorial platform to promote the depth and diversity of Italian cuisine beyond its association with pizza and pasta”. As well as the main stage events, the venue also exhibits a selection of specialist artisan producers, showcasing the very best in Italian produce, wines and spirits. The following recipes were presented during the 2009 edition of Identità London. www.identitalondon.com

1 Preheat the oven as high as it will go. 2 Blanch the spinach leaves in boiling salted water for the briefest time – 5-10 seconds only – then drain and squeeze out the excess water.
3 Mix the herbs together.
Put the sea salt into a food processor and crack it a little, then add the herbs and blitz until they are very finely chopped.
4 If you have a Magimix put the flour, egg whites, and the salt and herb
mixture into it, and reduce to a green dough. Otherwise, mix the flour and the salt and herb mixture well in a mixing bowl, then transfer to a clean work surface, pile up like a small mountain and make a hole in the middle. Beat the egg white lightly in a bowl, then pour it into the hole in the flour. Put in your hand and slowly and gently turn it, working in a little of the flour mix at a time, so that the egg white is absorbed gradually and forms a dough.
5 Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes. If it feels too hard as you work it, wet
7 Roll the dough out about 3 mm thick. You need to cut this into 8 rough
squares of dough – 4 to go beneath the fillets (make these about 2 cm bigger all round than the fish) and another 4 to go over the top of each fillet to enclose them completely (these top squares will need to be about 3 cm bigger all round than the fish). Each fillet will be slightly different, so use them as a guide when you are cutting out your dough.
8 Lay out the four squares of dough that will go underneath the fish and
place a fillet on top of each, skin side facing upwards then brush the edges with egg wash and put the top square on top. Seal tightly and trim the edges neatly. Make sure there are no holes in the dough; if there are any, take a piece of the dough trimmings, wet it with water and use it to patch the hole. Brush with more egg yolk.
9 Line a flat ovenproof tray with baking paper, put the sea bass ‘parcels’ on it and place in the preheated oven. The length of cooking time will depend entirely on the thickness of the fish, so start testing after about 7 minutes (but you might need up to 10 minutes or so more). Take one of the sea bass out – the crust will now be golden and hard – and, with a sharp knife, cut around three sides, so you can lift up the crust like a lid, and check the fish inside. Press your finger against the fillet: if it is soft, then it is ready; if the flesh of the fish is resistant, then replace your ‘lid’ and put back in the oven. Test again after a couple of minutes or so. 10 When the sea bass is ready, take it out of the oven and leave it in its
crust, while you warm up the spinach in a saucepan with the butter and the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange in the middle of your plates.
your hands, which should help to loosen it. The dough needs to be firm and elastic enough to enclose the fish without breaking but not too loose, otherwise when it cooks it will release too much moisture, and the fish won’t cook properly. Wrap the dough in cling film and keep to one side.
11 With a knife, cut the crusts all the way round and lift off the tops. With a spatula, lift out the fish and put on top of the spinach. Finish with the balsamic dressing and serve.

PRIPRIOCA is a plant found in the Brazilian rainforest. Its essential oils have been used by indigenous people for many centuries and recently by the cosmetic industry. Atala has introduced it in gastronomy after researches, in order to stimulate local farmers and increase the selection of available wild food. BANANA OURO is a Brazilian variety of the tropical fruit, which is very small (max 10 cm) and sweet. It has a cylindrical shape and a golden yellow skin.
KIKURAGE MUSHROOMS grow on trees in wet tropical climates. The word kikurage means “wooden ear”, which comes from the shape of the mushroom, and also “wooden jellyfish”, because of its texture. It is highly appreciated in Japan. Rich of vitamins, it is known for “cleansing” the body, preventing some diseases (high blood pressure, hardening of the arteries, ulcers, etc.) and for skin care treatments.

GELATO
WHEN
MOJITO BECOMES GELATO Mojito is a long alcoholic drink that has the colour of the sun, created to quench your thirst in the shade of a palm tree; it should be sipped to the rhythm of a Caribbean song. The drink comes from Cuba and its name comes from the word voodoo mojo, meaning spell. Mojito therefore means ‘a small spell’. The ingredients are mint, rum, brown sugar cane, lime and sparkling water (or soda). It is served cold and has a pungent taste due to the combination of fresh mint and the strong taste of rum. In the absence of original limes, a small green lime will do. Many use crushed ice, but this tends to melt too quickly so I prefer cubes. Although the original recipe includes white rum, a better variant is dark rum, which is more fragrant and stronger on the palate.
To make this little spell even more delightful, I recommend a Mojito flavoured gelato cocktail which can be served with the Mojito cocktail itself. Presentation is crucial in creating interest, which is why I suggest placing the gelato on a trasparent sugar disk, on top of the cocktail in the classic glass tumbler. Another possible presentation is to have two similar small glasses of different size, the smaller one being for the gelato. It is important to pay a lot of attention to the presentation of the tray in the display cabinet. Decorations made with slices of lime, brown cane sugar and mint leaves can be enriched with sugar cup molds, suggesting the idea of the original cocktail to those who only want a gelato.

2010 ICE ART WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP Ice carving activities and competitions have grown in popularity and since the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympic Games, there has been the inclusion of Olympic Ice Art Championships as part of the cultural activities and Olympic Art Festivals. With participating teams from different countries, these championships share the same objectives as the Olympic Winter Games. During the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games in Canada, the 2010 Ice Art World Championship took place in Richmond, British Columbia. The competition lasted two days and Usa won, followed by two Japanese teams. The member of the Italian team – Amelio Mazzella di Regnella and Fabio Momolo – came out fourth. The theme they chose was Hope or Dream, inspired to the theory of Pangea (i.e. the unique supercontinent that existed about 250 million years ago, before the component continents were separated into their current configuration). The first day they were required to carve 12 ice blocks (1.5 tons) to obtain a monumental sculpture, which represented “five eggs – they explained – as symbols of purity, beauty and hope, with five ice ‘children’ inside. Each of them represented one continent of the five Olympic rings, and they were all supported by a paper roll with the engraved map of the beginning of the world, where we all hope some day to return to live together in peace”. The second day teams had two hours of time to carve another sculpture inspired to their chosen theme. The 2010 edition was also an important meeeting for the ice carving associations from all over the world, aiming at coming together in a unique federation. Their purpose is the official recognition by the CIO (Comité International Olympique) in order to participate to the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. www.icegallery.it
EXCELLENCE “À LA FRANÇAISE” An ambassador of French culinary professions and exclusive gourmet products, Fauchon inaugurated in January a concept store and restaurant in Casablanca, Morocco, i.e. the first one in the North African area. Fauchon Paris - Le Café is placed in the heart of Anfa's quarter, with the new graphical and architectural codes of the brand and the internal fittings by Costa Group. The pure Parisian-style 1.200 m2 shop includes a bakery-patisserie zone, with a counter for horizontal display standing out with its top in white corian and a golden perimetrical coating. In the back counter the products seems suspended thanks to special shelves in polished embossed glass. Moreover, two refrigerated showcases for macarons have been expressly designed, with a golden coating and the top in white corian. The whole zone is towered by a ceiling with irregular vaults. The atmosphere recreates the luxury of a jeweller’s shop, because of both the golden color and the way to display products. Fauchon’s colors appear in the self service and in the chocolate areas: furniture changes from black to white, matching with the floors and ceilings; the refrigerated chocolate showcase made of fuchsia corian show products in scenographical crystal drawers. The café zone is carved in a silver monobloc which seems separated from the selfservice zone by a fuchsia glass wall. The lounge, restaurant and terrace can seat 126 people. www.costagroup.net

CHOCOLATE
IN PRAISE OF SIMPLICITY “A cake must be a temptation": with this premise, Graziano Giovannini of Montecatini Terme, near Pistoia, presents some cakes from his daily repertoire, which thanks to their simplicity and neatness make you want to eat even the photograph. “They are not modern cakes,” specifies the renowned Tuscan confectioner in the humble tone that is his hallmark, “I always use traditional chantilly cream in various flavours and I do not use special biscuits; instead I prefer a good sponge that has been soaked without too strong a flavour, in keeping with our traditions."
Graziano Giovannini in his lab in Montecatini Terme. A large chocolate flower embellishes this cake made using sponge soaked in Grand Marnier, with chocolate bavaroise filling, with praline almonds and pine kernels all around.

ASIAGO CHEESE
is an Italian cheese with different textures, according to its aging (from smooth for the fresh Asiago Pressato, to a crumbly texture for the Asiago d'Allevo). The aged cheese is often grated in salads, soups, pastas, and sauces, while the fresh one is sliced to prepare sandwiches; it can also be melted on a variety of dishes. It has a protected designation of origin (Denominazione di Origine Protetta or DOP) and the only “official” Asiago is produced in the Alpine area of the town of Asiago, province of Vicenza, in the Veneto region, and now it is also made in the Alpine region of the Province of Trento.

RADICCHIO
is a leaf chicory (Cichorium intybus, Asteraceae). It is grown as a leaf vegetable which usually has white-veined red leaves and a bitter and spicy taste, which mellows when it is grilled or roasted. The varieties are named after the areas where they originate. Radicchio Rosso di Treviso comes in two varieties: Precoce, which comes first and has fleshy red leaves with white ribs that form a compact bunch, and Tardivo, which has more pronounced ribs and splayed leaves. Both now enjoy IGP (Indicazione Geografica Protetta) status, which means that they can only be sold as such if they are produced around Treviso, in Veneto region, under the supervision of the Consorzio Radicchio di Treviso.

HISTORYCAL PLACES
A STEP BACK IN TIME Since 1763 Turin's Al Bicerin has been a meeting place for intellectuals, gourmets, and tourists A stop at Al Bicerin is a step back in time. It seems incredible that the moment you enter this historic premises in Turin, at the same time there are people in New York shuffling about like ants on Fifth Avenue while the French drive their cars around the Arc de Triomphe of Paris. We are in the twenty-first century, yet time seems to have come to a standstill when, having gone beyond the advertising board and the insignia, you walk through the old iron door complete with small columns and capitals. Inside, the wall clock no longer seems to tick. The low ceiling, the timeworn herringbone floor, woodpanelled walls, mirrors and eight white marble Liberty tables set the mood. The shop windows are small with handmade white lace curtains behind them, and glass containers with assorted sweets, bottles of rosolio and vermouth in full view. The coffee machine on the counter represents the limit beyond which you cannot go because there is the entrance to the workshop where the chocolate cooks for hours before being ready for a bicerin. The premises are frequented by passersby,

intellectuals, tourists, and people who come to see "how we used to be". The service is unhurried, there is no noise, only the aroma of the chocolate, made using an old recipe handed down from Signora Cavalli to the current owner of the shop Maritè (Maria Teresa) Costa. This is no ordinary shop. The warm colours, dimmed lights, and a candle on every table make you feel like one of the family, thanks also to the all-female staff, out of respect for the tradition that allowed the madame to come here in all tranquillity. There is no privacy at Al Bicerin because the tables are so close to each other that clients can hear each other's con-
versations. Thanks to guide books and websites that speak about the premises as a must visit, some Spanish tourists ask for a hot chocolate; an actor, working in the evenings at the Teatro Carignano, reads a book, while a girl with a foreign accent looks around inquisitively. Il Bicerin was established in 1763 by the citron-drink maker and confectioner Giuseppe Dentis, who, in large glasses would serve the bavareisa, a mixed drink of coffee, chocolate and milk: the same ingredients that are served separately in the drink of the same name. www.bicerin.it

A NEW FOOD GRADE SILICONE MOULD
The 100% food grade silicone SteccoFlex mould by Silikomart has been invented to make artisan gelato on a stick as an alternative to the gelato cone. This new mould comprises two silicone sections with 6 hollows, each one in a classic “gelato on a stick� shape, on a transparent food-grade plastic tray (size 30x40 cm), making product removal easy. The mould does not need to be warmed in water and the organoleptic qualities of the product are preserved, above all flavours, as silicone prevents ice crystals from forming on the surface. Moreover, it offers the competitive advantages of silicone moulds: reduced production times (today, the gelato producer can serially make artisan gelato on a stick in less than two hours), compatibility with any type of gelato maker, easy storage, simple and perfect removal at any temperature (up to 230°C) and high quality standards. Gelato made using Steccoflex can be produced and stored extremely easily. It is possible to fill the hollows in the mould with pasteurised whipped gelato, cover the product, vacuum pack and then store it in appropriate refrigerated cells, in order to use it when required. SteccoFlex can be combined with the latest technology providing additional and more versatile uses. Last but not least, the product can be also personalised, offering customers a gelato on a stick with glazes, multi-flavoured toppings, decorations... www.silikomart.it
