I started reading the biography of Gualtiero Marchesi, the founder of the Italian Nouvelle Cuisine.
It’s really an inspirational book. It’s about his life and his love for food and cooking.
My wish is to meet him, and why not, be able to dine at his restaurant.
My next recipe, is a tasty mistake. As I handle different flours contained in different boxes, I made a small mistake.
I used, by mistake, chestnut flour instead of quinoa flour to make the focaccia.
At the end it turned out really delicious!
Perfect for an appetizer or as they call it in Italy “aperitivo”.
Cheers!
PS: unfortunately I have been using olive oil lately, as the grape seed oil is not being delivered to the supermarket where we use to buy it.
