280 gr flour 00 100 gr butter 80 gr sugar + 2 tbps 20 gr dark cocoa 2 tsps baking powder 1 pinch of salt 1 egg + 1 yolk 250 gr philadelphia 125 gr powdered sugar (not vanilled) 250 gr berries
Cocoa tart with cream cheese and frosted berries by Valentina Petirro
08
Into a bowl pour flour, 80 gr of sugar, cocoa, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Soften the butter in a microwave until nearly melted, then pour it into the bowl with the dry ingredients and add the egg and the yolk. Mix briefly with a fork, then transfer everything onto a floured working surface. Work the dough with your hands until the dough gets soft, smooth and homogeneous. Roll out the dough so to get a thickness of around 1 cm, coat the inside of a light aluminum pan and hole with a fork the bottom of the dough. Cut a foil of baking paper, wrinkle it up with your hands, in order to make it soft and place it over the dough, then place over it something stiff and heavy (like dried vegetables, pieces of pasta or other things in order to create a weight that prevents the dough shell from losing its shape or to grow in excess when in the oven). Bake for about 30 minutes at 180째C. Remove from the oven, remove the paper and all the heavy weighing stuff and allow the pastry to cool. Beat the whipping Philadelphia cheese cream with an electric mixer for a few minutes with icing sugar. Fill the tart with the cream and finish by covering the entire surface with berries, previously mixed in a bowl with two tablespoons of sugar. The sugar will soak partially with the moisture released from the fruits and, when dry, the berries will get a frosted-like appearance. Put the tart in the fridge for at least 4 hours and take it out half an hour before serving.

(for one loaf)
100 150 50 350 12 2 1 2
gr manitoba gr spelt flour gr di whole wheat flour gr water approximately gr fresh yeast tbsps extra virgin olive oil tsp muscovado sugar or barley malt tsps integral salt
Mix all the flours in a large bowl. Separately, dissolve the yeast in a cup with sugar and 200g of warm water. Add the dissolved yeast in the center of the flour mixture. Add olive oil and salt, making sure that the salt does not come into direct contact with the yeast. Begin mixing with a fork and add the remaining water slowly. When the dough is firm, begin kneading with your hands. Mix and add water a teaspoon at a time until the dough absorbs it. The dough is ready when it will no longer be any resistance in your hands. As you knead, put on the fire an aluminum pan-without plastic parts-full of water until the water comes to a boil. As the water warms up, form a ball with the dough and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a cloth soaked in warm water and wrung out, and place it in the oven off. Put on the lowest shelf of the oven the pan with boiling water. Let rise for half an hour. Take the dough and without working too much, make a loaf and put it in a loaf pan previously lined with parchment paper. Cut the loaf surface as you wish, cover with wet cloth and put it in the oven off for another half an hour. At this point, remove the bread from the oven, cover it with a cloth and turn the oven fan-mode to 200째C leaving the pan with the water in the last shelf. The pan with water will yield a crispy crust. Bake the bread for about an hour until the top is golden and the center is dry by inserting a toothpick. Note: This bread can be kept in paper bag for a week or more.

Cook tuna steaks for 10 seconds in boiling water. Remove from the water and cool in a bowl with water and ice cubes. In this way, cooking will stop and the tuna surface will act as a sponge for the marinade. Place soy sauce and mirin in a bowl, mix, then add tuna steaks and let them rest in the fridge for half a day. Cook the rice covered with two inches of water (no salt) until all the water will be absorbed. Add some water if the rice is too dry and not cooked yet. Wash spinach leaves, then cut into thin strips. Put a little rice in each bowl. Remove the tuna from the marinade, cut each fillet into slices about 1.5 cm thick and arrange them fillets in each bowl. Add a few tablespoons of the marinade, sprinkle with sesame seeds, spinach and serve. * fresh fish must be kept for 4-5 days at -18째C at least before it can be eaten raw

Valeria Fusco
author of the blog www.ultimotocco.com
ThreeF
43 years, lived with no regrets. A mother, a wife, an architect, a blogger, a communications manager and a ballet dancer missed by chance. These are some of the things about me, not necessarily in the right order.
70
Incredibly optimistic, tending to hyper, sort of messy, I live my life trying to work out family, job, commitments and leaving no space to normal routine, i.e. my worst enemy. I always look forward to new ideas as Art has an incredibly beneficial effect on me, much more and better than any other medical cure. And I love to appreciate it in all its expressions: with no schemes and concept, I love at the same way and time, classic art and avant-garde theater and I appreciate Bach Preludes as well as Nirvana’s heavy rock. I am the art director of Archiviva, an all-female communication agency. We develop integrated communications strategies and plans for corporations and business, with a particular attention to the web; we organize events of cultural promotion and territorial marketing. A definitely interesting job that takes time and energy but, to be honest, I enjoy it so much for it gives me, every day, new stimulations and inspirations. Of course, I could have never be so committed in all these interests and activities, if I had no one I love to share all this and much more with. Indeed, my parents have always supported me and I owe them the happiness and the determination which accompany me in my every day steps; then there are my husband and my two daughters, what I define as my deep roots in a world that spins far too fast, as the reason and the desire for which I try to run home every single day.
ThreeF
For the rest, there are no certainties, things change and I always try to grasp the positive side of everything, thus accepting new challenges: this is probably the reason why I’ve found myself, in the middle of this life journey of mine, starting and writing a blog.“Ultimo tocco” is a net corner where, more or less seriously, I talk about design, home decor, interior design, communications and more. It’s an experience that has given me the opportunity to compare myself with many people, to establish contacts and recognize natural affinities, beyond any geographic and temporal limits. Till one day, that day, the day I received an e-mail from three blasting foodbloggers asking me to join the design project of a food and atmosphere web magazine. I am no foodblogger but I have put into the play the ingredients I am keen with: lines, shapes, colors and fonts. I’ve mixed them all together, looking for the due balance and now, here I am, talking about that idea, the idea I fell in love with, immediately, at the first sight and at the first glance, ThreeF.

gr demerara sugar gr muscovado sugar ml fresh cream milk as needed
Coffee cake with caramel topping by Benedetta Marchi Beat eggs with sugar, salt and vanilla and mix thoroughly for 5-6 minutes until the mixture is smooth. In a separate bowl, mix flour and the baking powder, sift them and pour in the previous mixture continuing to mix. Then add coffee, little by little, stirring so that it’s blended well. Separately, in a food processor, blend together hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds, dark chocolate and oatmeal to obtain a compound similar to muesli. Lined a 22cm diameter springform pan with parchment paper on the bottom, butter and flour the sides and pour in two thirds of the coffee compound. Now, with a teaspoon pour two thirds of the mixture of dried fruit, chocolate and oats (set aside the rest) over the dough to cover it up to 1cm from the edge of the mold. Pour the left mixture over all and form a spiral with a fork so that the grain is mixed unevenly with the dough. Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the cake for 50-60 minutes. Do not open the oven before 45 minutes and then check the cooking by dipping a toothpick into the cake (if it comes out clean, the cake is ready). About 15-20 minutes before your cake is ready, prepare the caramel topping. Put demerara and muscovado sugar in a pan with high sides and put it on fire with a flame spreader so that the sugar does not stick. Gradually add fresh cream and let it thicken, stirring constantly. If the mixture thickens too much, add some milk. The consistency should be liquid but not too much. The sauce thickens when cooled, so it’s better to remove it from the heat a bit liquid rather too thick. When the cake is warm, pour over it the caramel topping followed by the muesli grain you kept aside in the previous preparation. The cake is good for breakfast or as simple after dinner.

Carbonara spaghetti with wild asparagus by Maria Elena Ghelardi Thoroughly clean and wash asparagus. Cut them into small pieces separating the tips from the more woody stems. Soak them in a pan with a little cold water without salt and cook for about 5 minutes, then add the tips. Once asparagus are soft and the water is evaporated, let to cool in the pan. Salt water to cook pasta, then cook spaghetti. In the meanwhile, in a large bowl beat eggs (or just yolks) with a pinch of salt, pepper and grated cheese. Remove pasta from the heat once cooked al dente, set aside a ladle of cooking water if the final dish is too dry and then drain spaghetti. Immediately pour pasta in the pan (now warm and fire off) with asparagus and add eggs, stirring quickly. Beaten eggs should never be combined with pasta on fire, to avoid getting a “pancake effect�. In fact the eggs must be joined immediately after draining pasta, trying to avoid them come into contact with too hot pots. If the sauce is too thin, slightly heat all in the pan. If the sauce is too dry add a little cooking water previously set aside. Serve immediately.

Allow to cool, then dilute with a little dash stock and filter. Peel the shrimp, removing also the black dirt thread along the back and rinse them well. Wipe gently with a paper towel. In the meantime prepare the tempura batter by mixing flour and baking powder in a bowl. In another bowl mix the beaten egg with about 120 ml of ice-cold water, pour into the bowl with flour and mix well until a smooth and thick batter is formed. In a pan heat peanut oil in order to fry shrimps covering them all.

Serve with the sauce tentsuyu. * in tempura batter there is no salt deliberately. The flavor is given by the soy sauce and dashi.

Chicken nuggets in teriyaki sauce by Valentina Petirro 100
Chop chicken breast rather small. In a small pan toast a tablespoon of sesame seeds and set aside. High heat a frying pan with peanut oil and, when hot stir fry the nuggets until they turn brown. Hot, sautee the nuggets making them quickly browning over the entire surface. When done, add directly into the pan teriyaki sauce, rice vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt. Keep stir frying the chicken at high heat so to reduce and thicken the sauce and cover the nuggets with the outcoming dark and shiny glazy sauce. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the nuggets (that have been previously kept aside) and serve warm. Best when served with basmati rice, seasoned with sesame oil and chopped cilantro.

Thai stir-fry egg noodles by Vatinee Suvimol
107
[img_77] Noodles are the Eastern version of the most popular Italian pasta. Indeed, it is said that Marco Polo introduced it in Italy on his way back from China. In Thailand, there are different types of noodles according to rice flour, wheat flour or mung bean flour and in different varieties: sen yai are wide flat noodles, sen lek are thin flat rice noodles, and sen mi (also known as rice vermicelli). Therefore, don’t forget when ordering to specify your choice! These are egg noodles stir fried with chicken, vegetables and eggs, ready in just a few minutes.
Soak the noodles into luke warm water for at least 15 minutes or follow package cooking directions. In a wok, heat oil and stir fry the garlic. Add the eggs and stir fry thoroughly. After 1 minute, add the chicken, the vegetables and one tablespoon of soy sauce. Stir fry well then add the drained noodles, other 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, sugar and keep frying till the noodles are done (otherwise keep frying and, if still “hard”, add some water). Finally, season with pepper and garnish with cilantro/parsley. Serve with additional soy sauce according to taste.

gr warm water gr bread flour gr dark chocolate, cut into small pieces gr extra virgin olive oil gr dry yeast tsp malt tsps salt generous tsp lard (optional)
In a bowl dissolve malt and yeast in the water. Slowly add the flour to the water with one hand and with the other mix until you have a smooth batter. Cover with a cloth, preferably wet and warm, and let rise for about 2 hours. After rest, start to add flour to the dough, add salt, oil, lard and chocolate and continue to mix with the hands, adding flour until you have a smooth and soft dough, but not sticky. Wash a bowl with hot water to make it warm, dry and grease it with oil. Put the dough in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise in the refrigerator for 24 hours. The day after pull out the dough from the fridge and let it return to room temperature for 3-4 hours. After this time, flour the work surface, pour the dough and gently shape the loaf in a rectangle with your fingertips. Take one side of the rectangle and fold it toward the center, then take the other side and take it to the strip of dough already folded, closing the wallet. Turn the dough and, after enlarged the dough again, repeat the folds avoiding to pinch the dough too much. Cut the dough into smaller portions, give them a long shape and place on a well floured cloth. Dust the baguette with more flour and cover with another towel. Let stand for a few hours in a warm place, away from drafts, then turn the oven to 180째C and bake once the temperature is reached, taking care to put a bowl of water in the oven to increase the moisture. The cooking time varies depending on the thickness of the baguette, it will take 30/40 minutes at least, in any case the baguettes must be well browned on the surface, then they can be churned out.

Whip the whites with the help of an electric mixer. While continuing to whisk, gradually add the sugar until the mixture is smooth, firm and glossy. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper, place a pastry ring the size you want and with the help of a spatula, pour in a little of the mixture leveling well. Remove the pastry rings and repeat the operation (in another pan if the circle does not fit into the first). Bake at 100째C for about 3 hours. Remove gently the disks from the oven and with the help of a pastry rings fill one with ice cream. Overlap another disk and continue to fill with ice cream until you have a turret. You can make 1, 2 or more layers of ice cream, or using smaller molds you can make single servings. Put the meringue in the freezer and cover with dark melted chocolate before serving.

Apricots and roses tart by Daniela Balzano Prepare the pastry using a mixer or kneading by hand. Combine flour, almond flour and sugar. Add cold butter into small pieces and yolk. Work quickly with fingertips to avoid heating the pastry. Add two tablespoons of ice-cold water if the dough becomes too dry. Form a ball, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 170°C. Roll out the dough on a floured work surface and proceed to the lining of a tart mold, buttered and floured. Prick with a fork and bake “in bianco” for 18 minutes. Wash apricots, cut in half and remove stones. Pour rose syrup in a thick-bottomed saucepan, add 30 cl of water, the apricots and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes. Arrange the apricots on the bottom of the tart, well aligned and slightly crossed. Sprinkle with the cooking syrup. Melt the butter and use it to brush apricots. Sprinkle with demerara sugar and bake for 25 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream or a puff of whipped cream.
