Rachael of pizzarossa was our August 2012 Daring Cook hostess and she challenged us to broaden our knowledge of cornmeal! Rachael provided us with some amazing recipes and encouraged us to hunt down other cornmeal recipes that we’d never tried before – opening our eyes to literally 100s of cuisines and 1000s of new-to-us recipes!
I joined last month and this is my first challenge. I must say that I really love it, as I love challenges.
I must say that it was a beautiful coincidence that the challenge was about cornmeal as my blog is about wheat free recipes.
I loved all the recipes that Rachel listed and prepared, and I will try to make them someday soon.
I prepared Sbrisolona, its an Italian cake and its’ origins are from the city of Mantova. You can say that is a crumble without the fruit. It’s delicious, crunchy, easy and quick to prepare.
Today in Italy we celebrate Ferragosto, it’s like celebrating the end of summer. A Lot of people are on vacation and Milan is like a haunted city, EMPTY!!!
I want to wish a happy Ferragosto to everyone!
Cheers!
Ps: I can’t wait for the next challenge
