Random, coincidence, invisible line, could this be that current that has connected the main features of this autumn issue of Threef ? We do not know. All we know is that all the pictures that our blogger friends granted us were so impressive and inspiring, evocating such Seventeenth centurys paintings, that we could not do anything else than try to continue their work, pursuing that imaginary challenge. The result of all this is an emotional wave represented by this new issue of Threef, an edition designed and figured like a set of paintings, filled with warm tones and autumn atmosphere. Call it a commitment, or just a game, our desire or “need” was just o bind together all these impressive and stunning pictures in order to introduce you softly into this upcoming new season. But in our own way, with our soft and delicate footsteps.

Melt the butter and let cool. Sift the flour with cocoa powder and a pinch of salt. Separate the yolks from the whites. Beat the whites with a pinch of salt until stiff, add the yolks one by one, without stopping to whisk. Add the flour mix to the egg, stirring gently with a spatula. Finally, stir in the melted butter. Split the dough in the three molds, leveling the surface with a spatula. Bake for 20 minutes or until the inside will be dry to the toothpick test.

Pour the puree into a saucepan, add the liqueur, two tablespoons of sugar and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and let thicken for 10 minutes, until the syrup will thick enough. Let cool completely and keep refrigerated until ready to use. Whip the cream with the other two tablespoons of sugar. Place a sponge cake on a serving dish, cover with a third of the remaining berries and a thick layer of cream. Repeat with a second sponge, other berries and cream.

Salt cod and olive zeppoles by Ilaria Ventura Prepare the pre-soaked cod, leaving it further soak in running cold water for an hour. Then place the cod in a pot with cold water, bring to boil and cook for 3 minutes, turn off the heat and let it cool in the cooking water. This short cooking help cleaning the fish. When cool, peel the cod, remove the bones and chop the pulp (the final net weight will be about 250 gr). Prepare the dough for savory zeppoles. Dissolve the yeast in the water and add the flour to form a batter. Add the fish to the batter, along with olives, cut into chunks, and chopped basil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Put the batter to rise one hour at room temperature, covered with plastic wrap. In a pan with high sides, bring the oil to boil for deep frying. Throw the dough by spoonfuls into the pan, little by little, using another spoon. When every zeppole is fried, drain and place it in a bowl with a paper towel, keeping it warm. Proceed in the same way until all the dough is finished. Serve the zeppoles hot, with salt to taste. “Salt cod” is the name of cod preserved in salt, while stockfish is preserved by drying. The soaked salt cod, often referred to as “spider”, reappears in autumn in specialized grocery stores, which grant water changes and daily washings to rehydrate and desalinate the pulp.

Meringue mini tartes with plum jam and blueberry by Patrizia Malomo
[img _24]
Prepare the pastry: mix the two flours with sugar and a pinch of salt in the planetary (or make the fountain on a pastry board). Add the cold butter cut into small cubes and “crumble” with the flour, using a k-beater or your finger tips (pinch butter and flour quickly). When the mixture is crumbly, add the vanilla extract, the yolk and work quickly to get a ball. Knead the dough as little as possible, wrap it in plastic wrap and put in the fridge for an hour at least. Roll out the pastry to a thickness of 3 mm and cut into circles that can line mini tarte molds (10-12cm diameter) buttered and floured. Prick the bottom of the tartes with the tines of a fork and bake, filling the molds with dried beans, at 180°C for 15 minutes. Remove the pastry shells from the oven and let them cool. Melt the plum jam in a saucepan with 2 tablespoons of water and distribute about a spoon on the bottom of each tarte. Cover with fresh blueberries and put in the oven for another 15 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool thoroughly. Prepare the Italian meringue. Bring to a boil sugar and water and at the same time beat the egg whites in the planetary until stiff for 2/3. When the sugar syrup reaches 121°C, pour half of the syrup over the egg whites in one go, maximizing the power of the whips. After a few moments, lower the speed and add slowly the rest of the syrup, continuing to whisk the mass until it cools. The mixture should be shiny, puffy and very compact. Remove the cold tarts from the molds and decorate with small meringue wisps, using a pastry bag with a star nozzle. Brown the meringue only on the tips with a blowpipe. Serve immediately.

Prepare the final dish. In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil and sautÊ cauliflower florets with some salt, until they’re half cooked. It should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Once done, set aside to be used later. In the same pan, add 1 more tablespoon of oil. Heat oil and then add cinnamon stick, nigella seeds and mustard seeds. Let it sizzle for a couple of seconds to release the aroma. Next, add garlic, ginger and sliced onions. Season with salt and give it a toss. Continue cooking until the onion gets softened. Add the pickle spice that was kept aside and give it a mix. Let it cook in medium heat until the spices are cooked through. Once done you should see oil separating from the sides. Keep tossing every now and then to avoid it from getting burnt at the bottom. This should take about 10 minutes. Now add the tomato puree, season with salt and sugar. Continue cooking for another 7 minutes or until the spices is cooked through and tomato puree is coated nicely with rest of the ingredients. Finally add the partially fried cauliflower that was kept aside, give a toss.

Foodblogger for love and for necessity. 36, married, with two different jobs that somehow spin around history, tradition and food. In short, I cannot complain, for sure I am not bored and am always on the go. Two and a half years ago, a blog joined this ride of mine: La Tarte Maison is a virtual home with a French and cosy name and an atmosphere that makes you want to sit and chill out around a table. I wanted to collect all my recipes and play with some creativity and I managed to do this through the blog. Ever changing and never constant, I am always looking for new challenges and have found stability by focusing on my cooking passion into this virtual space. The kitchen has always been the cosiest place for me. Indeed, this blog of mine had the purpose to collect home-made recipes, which were like pinned here and there and, with time, were mixed together with experiments. Little by little, things started to take shape, the recipes were definitively drafted down and pictures shot with care. But I still continue to put that same attention on searching for features and details, a typical ingredient or a specific concern on the preparation. France is the other great passion of mine. I have been visiting it for years, all over and I appreciate not only the French food but also the lifestyle, culture and beauty. I have seen regions as Perigord, Burgundy, amazing Provence, Roussillon and stunning Loire. My heart, however, is devoted to the French capital, where I always try to get back, as soon as I can. I would never get bored of it and it is amazing how each time, I can always discover new places to visit, restaurants and bakeries where to stop by in order to taste all the delights that the Ville Lumière offers. Of course, all these things have been featured on the blog. Eventually, I must confess that La Tarte Maison tells stories that look a lot like own myself: food, local products, trips, restaurants as well as the love for my country, everything is told in a simple and genuine manner, reflecting my very own way of being. La Tarte Maison is me.

Maltagliati and beans soup by Marina Della Pasqua Soak the beans overnight. The next day, cover the beans with a generous liter of water, add the carrot, onion and celery, marjoram, pepper grains and cook for about an hour (or until the beans become tender) . When half cooked, add salt and hot water if necessary. On a pastry board make the fountain with the flour, break the eggs in the center and begin to mix with a fork. When flour and eggs will begin to stick together, use your hands and knead for about ten minutes. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for half an hour. Roll out the dough into a quite thin layer. Let it dry for half an hour on a work surface, then roll it up without squeezing too much and cut in an irregular manner from the corners with a knife, creating lozenges. When the beans are cooked and begin to smash, remove the carrot, onion and celery. Blend some of the beans with an immersion blender to make the soup creamier. Add the pasta, cook for a few minutes and turn off the heat. Let the soup rest for ten minutes before serving, adding abundant extra virgin olive oil and freshly ground pepper.

Prepare the dough by mixing the flour with the egg, oil, salt and some warm water until the mixture is workable. Form a ball and let it rest for half an hour wrapped in plastic wrap. Clean and cut the onions into slices about 1 cm thick. Place the onions in a large frying pan with oil, water and salt. Cover and cook for about an hour, until they become soft and transparent. Remove the lid, let dry any residual water, then add sugar and balsamic vinegar and cook over high heat until the vinegar evaporates. When the sugar begins to caramelize and the mixture becomes like a jam, turn off the heat and let it cool. Roll out the dough into a thin rectangle of about 1 mm in thickness, spread on the onion compote, fold the edges of the short sides inward then roll from the long side forming the strudel. Bake in hot oven (static) at 180°C for 35-40 minutes until golden brown. For the cheese sauce, heat the milk with saffron, without boiling, remove from the heat and add the cheese cut into cubes. Stir until the cheese is completely melted. Let cool and pour the sauce on the strudel.

Chickpea velouté with mushrooms, leek by Laura Adani Soak the chickpeas in cold water for 12 hours, drain and boil them in a large saucepan for about 40 minutes or until they are tender. Meanwhile, wash the leeks, remove the outer leaves and slice them finely. With a brush and a cloth remove the land from the mushrooms and cut into slices not too thin In a pan with a little olive oil stir-fry leek slices for 1-2 minutes, add the sliced mushrooms, a few catmint leaves and cook for 3-4 minutes on low heat. Remove from heat and season with salt. Cut bacon into small cubes and set aside. Divide the nuts in half. When the chickpeas are cooked, drain, retaining a little of their cooking water, put in the bowl of a food processor, pour the milk, add a few catmint leaves, a little oil and blend for a couple of minutes, until creamy, fluid but rather dense. If the cream is too firm, add some milk or cooking water. Season with salt and add the grated Parmesan cheese, incorporating it well. Pour the cream onto dishes and garnish with mushrooms, leeks, diced bacon, hazelnuts, catnip leaves and a rich drizzle of oil.

juice of half a lemon
For the pastry, mix the butter, cold from the fridge, with the sugar using your fingertips, until it is completely absorbed. Let cool the mixture in the fridge (approx 10-15 minutes), then incorporate the yolks and return the dough in the fridge for another 10 minutes. Finally, add the flour and salt and mix well. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for half an hour. Meanwhile prepare the filling. Thoroughly clean the rhubarb, washing and removing the toughest outer filaments, then cut into pieces about half a centimeter. Wash the plums and cut into wedges. Sprinkle rhubarb and plums with lemon juice, sugar and cornstarch and let stand for at least half an hour. Roll out the pastry to a thickness of at least about half a centimeter, sprinkle the bottom with a spoonful of sugar, then pour the filling into the shell along with the juices formed on the bottom of the bowl. Bake at 180째C until the edge is golden brown: it will take about 50 minutes.

Marinate the chicken with salt, turmeric, garlic and ginger and let it rest for a minimum of five hours or overnight in the refrigerator. Using a food processor, puree the onion, fresh cilantro and green chilies. Add 2 tablespoons of yogurt to that and mix once again. Keep it aside to be used later. Next, blend the cashew, almond and poppy seeds to a fine paste and add 1 tablespoon of yogurt to that. Keep it aside to be used later. Dry roast the cumin seeds and coriander seeds. Grind it to a fine dust and keep it aside. In a wok on a deep pan, add 2 tablespoons of ghee and bring it to heat. Add fennel seeds, green cardamoms and let it release the flavor. This should take about 2 seconds. Add onion puree to the wok/pan, add a pinch of salt and cook at a medium heat for about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the marinated chicken and continue cooking for about 5 minutes until the chicken is partially cooked through. Then, add the cumin and coriander powder that was kept aside along with chili powder and freshly cracked pepper. Continue cooking for a couple more minutes. Pour the yogurt and nut blend to the wok and give it a mix. Continue cooking in medium heat until the oil starts to separate. If it gets too sticky, add a little bit of water. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes. Gradually stir in the tomato puree and the rest of yogurt to the wok. Add some water, if the gravy gets too thick. Cook for a couple of minutes more and add cream, if you are using any. Check for salt and once the chicken is cooked through, switch off the heat. Garnish with some freshly chopped cilantro and serve with rice, naan (Indian flat bread) or your choice of bread.

Black beans soup by Sara Ghedina The night before, soak the beans for at least 8 hours. Chop the onion and the garlic cloves, let them dry for a few minutes in a little oil, then add the carrot and pepper diced. Stir and cook for a few minutes, add the drained and rinsed beans, spices (if seeds, first pulverize them), stock cube, salt and pepper. Cover with water, bring to a boil and cook over medium heat for about two hours. Half an hour before the end, add the lime juice and zest, peeled tomatoes (to facilitate the task, dip them 30 seconds in boiling water) cut into pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Blend the soup only for a few seconds, so that it is creamy but with visible pieces. Serve with diced tomato, fresh cucumber and chopped cilantro to taste.

Buckwheat gnocchi with taleggio cheese and grapes by Marina Paris Bring the water to boil with the salt, then turn off the heat and add the flour all at once. Stir until the flour absorbs all the water, then let it rest a few minutes. Take the dough and knead it on the pastry board a few minutes, until it is elastic and smooth. Proceed as for the potato gnocchi, taking a little dough and forming small rolls. Obtain small gnocchi quickly passing them on the back of a fork to give the classic rifled form. Dip the gnocchi in boiling salted water then drain just they rise to the surface. Meanwhile melt the taleggio cheese cut into small pieces over low heat with a little water, stirring. Dress the gnocchi with taleggio cheese sauce, a little butter and grapes, previously washed, cut in half and / or whole.
