In the Kitchen - Meat Samosa
This is one of the all time favorites back home (Kenya)... and everytime I make them here in Italy everyone goes crazy for them! I made them yesterday for a dinner with a couple of friends. Served them, and went back into the kitchen to check on the curry and chapatis. After two minutes or so I came back and there was nothing left! 15 samosas gone! I was happy but I would have loved just another taste after all the hard work! :-D

In the Kitchen - Swiss Roll
I woke up today with a strong desire for Swiss Roll! I hadn't had it in years! I used to love, love, love this cake when I was little! Such fond memories.So i decided to bake it. It's delicious! Made everyone quite happy.
I think it's a great cake.It's great for tea, nice for dessert accompanied with whipped cream or ice creme and good for kids. It's quite easy to make and there are no fats in it. Just eggs, flour, sugar and whatever filling you wish.
In the Kitchen - Tarts (Crostate)
Apple tarts: These pretty looking and yummy tarts were an attempt to get my son to eat fruit.... It worked... but I ended up eating most of them!Ingredienti:
220g di farina
90g di zucchero
90g di burro
3 tuorli
1 presa di sale
Per guarnire
4 mele golden
90g di zucchero
2-3 cucchiai di succo di limone
2-3 cucchiai di brandy (facoltativo)
Imburrate e infarinate una tortiera a cerniera o delle piccole forme come ho fatto io (visto che le ho fatte per il mio bimbo. Con gli ingredienti indicati preparare la pasta frolla disponendo a fontana la farina e il sale. Unite il burro e acqua a sufficienza per ottenere un impasto liscio. Impastare a mano su una superficie leggermente infarinata fino ad ottenere un impasto liscio ed elastico. Mettere da parta un quarto della pasta e poi stendete nella tortiera sul fondo e lungo i bordi il resto della pasta aiutandovi con le ditta e tenete in frigorifero per 30 minuti. Preriscaldate il forno a 190°C. Sbucciate le mele e togliete il torsolo alle mele, poi grattugiatele in una ciotola. Irrorate con succo di limone e lasciate macerare per circa 2-3 minuti. Strizzatele delicatamente e mettete uno strato sulla pasta poi spolverate con lo zucchero, poi un'altro strato di mele. Continuate fino ad esaurire le mele. Livellare la superficie e, se volete, spruzzare il brandy. Decorare con strisce o forme a scelta. Cuocere per 50-60 minuti o fino a quando la pasta sarà dorata. Dopo 40 minuti di cottura spolverate con zucchero. Fate raffredare nella tortiera. Servite caldo o a temperatura ambiente. :-)
Cherry jam tart. I love making tarts. They're easy to make, super scrumptious and great for tea time!
