Originally from Siena, Panforte comes from a time, the middle ages, when sugar was not really used in Italy (except for Sicily, where the Arabs brought it already in the 9th Century). To sweeten Panforte, honey and dried fruits were used instead. The recipe I have dates from the 1930's and has the same amount of sugar and honey. Panforte is called 'pangiallo' in Rome and here in Sabina. The only difference is the shape: spherical in Rome, thin and round in Siena. When I offer a slice of my panforte to my friends, I always serve it with a small glass of sweet wine, such us Vin Santo or Passito di Pantelleria. Buon appetito e Buon Natale a tutti!<br /><br /><b>Panforte Recipe - Serves 10</b>.<br /><br /><u>Ingredients: </u>100g (3.5oz) of peeled almonds, 100g (3.5oz) of peeled hazelnuts, 30g (1.0 oz) of cocoa powder, 15g (0.53 oz) of cinnamon, 50g (1.75g) of flour, 300g (10.6oz) of mixed candied citrus peel, 125g (4.41 oz) of icing sugar </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">(or confectionery sugar), 125g </span><span style="font-family: arial;">(4.41 oz)</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> of honey.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><u>Method:</u> Lightly roast almonds and hazelnuts. Put almonds, hazelnuts, cocoa powder, cinnamon, flour and mixed candied citrus peel in a bowl. Put sugar and honey in a pot and let the mix melt on a low heat, always stirring.

The leaves are changing colour and falling from our local fig and walnut trees, near our home in the Sabine Hills. There is a crispness in the air in the mornings and evenings but the days are still warm, so a wonderful time to enjoy living in the countryside.<br /><br />Autumn (also called Fall) is a natural time of letting go and getting organised (think of trees dropping their leaves and animals getting organised for hibernation), and being Italian, we also think of the wonderful seasonal foods we can now enjoy.<br /><br />Today, I want to share my favourite family recipe for pumpkin risotto, with you. I am sure you will love it.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdXwlc7lMbcFeGMWQhT4unCZzhMwZRVZqQii5Vtm3_qwfvjkgHsV-RUADiXd_aKOHobEqqoIB7QBgbcX3tisrkCPxMTz2mh1V5nhfM9X2uRDw8xEIXzv6P4UP816y14tANnFf9wllkQXY/s1600/pumpkin+risotto.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="478" data-original-width="638" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdXwlc7lMbcFeGMWQhT4unCZzhMwZRVZqQii5Vtm3_qwfvjkgHsV-RUADiXd_aKOHobEqqoIB7QBgbcX3tisrkCPxMTz2mh1V5nhfM9X2uRDw8xEIXzv6P4UP816y14tANnFf9wllkQXY/w400-h299/pumpkin+risotto.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><u>Risotto alla zucca e rosmarino - Serves 6-8</u></b><br /><b>Ingredients</b>:<br />500 g of 'Arborio' or 'Carnaroli' rice, slice of pumpkin, 50g of butter, 1 cup of grated grana cheese, a small onion, white wine, fresh rosemary*, grana padano cheese.<br /><br /><b>Method</b>:<br />Make your own vegetable stock by placing a peeled whole onion, whole carrot and a stick of celery in a separate large pot and bring to the boil. Keep this vegetable stock simmering as you make your risotto.<br />Finely chop the onion and gently fry it in butter. Add diced pumpkin. Add rice and let it fry with all other ingredients for a minute or two, always stirring. Pour in a little white wine and let it evaporate. Pour enough boiling vegetable stock to cover rice. Add a little salt. Stir rice occasionally. Add more boiling stock when necessary. Check salt and add more if necessary. Add chopped rosemary* (sage* can be used instead, if you wish - amount to your taste).

Harvest time happens just once a year, when the olives turn from green to black and at their best with the highest amount of anti-oxidants. The local farmers are currently harvesting their olives to make their own D.O.P. extra virgin olive oil. (D.O.P. means that the olives are grown, picked, pressed and bottled in the same region, in this case, in Sabina). <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi75i7E5UK79-1Zl99KOIkZYxh3v0N367vEl61_1J-CjJLCKVNVnLmKDrTr41oYW9x4FbCYvStMq5K_fLGbw057lkXsqM6-79ZzR1Qr99vx1PHNxhplI45Brsz1kZQEzK8mCZdhqSW-O45GYvsp7PVwQ1MYukqC2CJbmTiffjBhIG6VL_9LysI_LZf8-DQ/s319/olive%20harvest.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="239" data-original-width="319" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi75i7E5UK79-1Zl99KOIkZYxh3v0N367vEl61_1J-CjJLCKVNVnLmKDrTr41oYW9x4FbCYvStMq5K_fLGbw057lkXsqM6-79ZzR1Qr99vx1PHNxhplI45Brsz1kZQEzK8mCZdhqSW-O45GYvsp7PVwQ1MYukqC2CJbmTiffjBhIG6VL_9LysI_LZf8-DQ/s1600/olive%20harvest.jpg" width="319" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>If you want to find out what good olive oil is all about, Convivio Rome conducts 2 types of Olive Tours: </div><div>1/ A Half Day (3.5 hour) Olive Oil Tour: operating all year round</div><div><br /></div><div>2/ An afternoon Olive Grove Tour during our 4 and 5 Day Italian Cooking Holidays. </div><div><br /></div><div>To find out more

<p><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica'; font-size: 12pt;">With history beginning 2,600 years ago and its unspoiled landscape dotted with
ancient medieval villages and monasteries, the Rieti Province, part of the Lazio
Region directly north of Rome, is an exciting destination for the independent traveller.
Part of its charm is due to the lack of mass tourism which you often encounter in
other Italian areas. Authenticity is what the Rieti Province is all about.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica'; font-size: 12pt;">The early inhabitants of this area of Italy were the 'Sabines', a highly civilised
population that thrived in this region, east of the River Tiber. The Sabines left some
truly refined art from 600 BC, including gold jewellery, greek-inspired pottery and
bronze chariots. Most of these precious items are today found in Fara Sabina
Archaeological Museum. The Romans took over the Rieti province and the Sabine
Hills in 290 BC. Cities were built or improved and still today this is one of the most
interesting areas of Lazio from an archaeological point of view. During the middle
ages the Rieti province grew prosperous and became densely populated, which
explains why there are so many 1,000 year old villages built on hilltops for defence.

<p><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica'; font-size: 12pt;">The culture of olive oil is all important for the Rieti province and there is evidence that
people have been producing the "green gold" here for at least 2000 years. Olive
groves literally cover each and every hillside, with windy roads and pathways making
their way between the old, majestic trees. The beauty of the landscape is often
associated with Umbria, and in fact Rieti and its territory was once considered part of
this region and under Perugia's rule until the 1930's. The Rieti province and the
Sabine Hills are amongst the greenest areas of Italy, due to the abundance of water
springs, rivers and lakes. It's main aqueduct, called "Peschiera" is one of the largest
in Europe and provides pure spring water to three quarters of the City of Rome and
of course to the Rieti province as well. The large availability of pure clean water is a
blessing for those working in agriculture, and in particular to a young generation of
'neo-rurals', who have recently moved from the city to start organic agriculture in this
area.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="891" data-original-width="2037" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfLIWiTb9A--uTRLe_MT8jeHnAoi63hL5-eGdILUlUY-viCY6YWey6vwz6GqYMqePm6ph8-R8I3xzaWCbED7zu0BEd_AC2XUSiVeTHw99k9qA2lKLXYOTQDTuhtOq5FhHNiX7oBySC_cHjyw9f8suBBUEHqn_soWCj5y0xtb5jfWNtZZp5FYjcYRyB/w400-h175/Rome%20Olive%20Tour%20all%20year%202.jpg" width="400" /></div><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Lakes are mostly to be found in the east part of the province, the most popular one
being the lake Turano. Its clean water makes Turano a great destination for day
excursions especially in summer where you can swim, take a rest on the shores and
enjoy lunch or dinner on the lakeside.</span></p></span><p></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica'; font-size: 12pt;">While the climate is generally mediterranean with mild winters and warm, sunny
summers. As you move towards the east of the region the territory becomes more
mountainous, with the highest point reaching Monte Terminillo, 2,217 metres above
sea level. Terminillo is a winter resort that is fully equipped for ski holidays during
winter, while in summer it can be a refreshing escape from the heat, and is
especially popular with Rome's inhabitants. Because of the variety offered by its
geography, this province of Italy is a hiker's heaven. You can chose easier walks
through valleys or more challenging hikes to the top of hills and mountains from
where you can enjoy majestic views over the whole region.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica'; font-size: 12pt;">Last but not least, the Rieti province has great culinary traditions. Apart from the
DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) olive oil which is light and flavoursome at the
same time, this is the land of pecorino cheese and ricotta, produced from fresh
sheep's milk. The local producers also take pride in their cured meats, including
prosciutto, capocollo and, above all, guanciale (cured pork cheek), an essential </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">ingredient of Carbonara and Amatriciana pasta sauces. Wine production is also gaining momentum in terms of high quality, popularity and awards.</span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

It's a very traditional dish in Central Italy and it's sometimes called Acqua Cotta ('cooked water'). I made Ribollita yesterday and had it today for lunch with a bunch of friends. Delicious! Here is the recipe. You'll need a big pot.<br /><br /><b>Ribollita (serves 6 or more)</b><br />800g of fresh borlotti or cannellini beans (or 300g of dried borlotti or cannellini beans), 400g of fresh, ripe tomatoes or tinned tomatoes, 1 black cauliflower (almost impossible to find!) or 1 quarter of a regular one, 1 quarter of a cabbage, 500g of beet (similar to spinach but milder flavoured), 1 carrot, 1 celery stick, 1 red onion, parsley, basil, extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, parmigiano reggiano (parmesan) cheese.<br /><br />If you are using dried beans, they need to be soaked for 24 hours, then boiled in 2 litres of water, a pinch of salt and a little olive oil. Finely chop the onion and fry in oil until translucent, then add tomatoes, beans (if fresh with 1 litre of water, if dried add with its own cooking water). Chop all the remaining vegetables roughly and add the to the soup. Add salt and boil for at least two hours. Add more water if necessary. Serve in a bowl on top of a slice of toasted country bread. Finish off with parmigiano, a little olive oil, pepper and chopped parsley and basil (if available).

The usually warm weather has continued throughout October and into November so the olive farmers are picking as soon as they can and taking this precious fruit to be pressed at the olive mills as soon as possible.</p></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">What a great time of year to visit <b>the Roman countryside</b> and especially the Sabine Hills. The Sabina region, just 40 kms north of Rome is famous for it's <b>extra virgin olive oil</b> and with over 2,5000,000 trees squeezed into hilly terrain you can understand why it is so important. The olive farmers make sure that the quality of the olive oil is at its best by picking the olives just as they are turning from green to black in colour. This is when <b>the anti-oxidants are at their highest</b>. The olive producers really concentrate on <b>quality</b>, not quantity and the Sabine Hills are now 'alive with the sound of music' of olive pickers. It is an exciting time to visit.</span></p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6QzBqXqkW8K_-ovpulhv_HxRhJKODMwGqMwfYjJBgmU5VntSqMTv_8OAaH_Z_f3mze5uRdjCR7_oaWMqEMc6Pk8G-tlwO5ohhWGmreOKp0ELzuqRBzArVLTDJ8jVadGHnocEBMGUS3s0/s1600/olive+picking+canneto.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6QzBqXqkW8K_-ovpulhv_HxRhJKODMwGqMwfYjJBgmU5VntSqMTv_8OAaH_Z_f3mze5uRdjCR7_oaWMqEMc6Pk8G-tlwO5ohhWGmreOKp0ELzuqRBzArVLTDJ8jVadGHnocEBMGUS3s0/s320/olive+picking+canneto.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption"><span style="font-family: arial;">Olive picking with crates of olives already picked</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: arial;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6o8FV42qhTqtBpUVq1NTqHpufCacofjab8f-VkqNOUOQDV8pujXS6HAzCHbvg4OFmbWelELtk51lA763iDT6ksQQjm8VgzuUSM7b4AHaT0e_PI6FuXhPvhzS7GEysoY5hLxilfggfbJw/s1600/olive+picking+trees+ready.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6o8FV42qhTqtBpUVq1NTqHpufCacofjab8f-VkqNOUOQDV8pujXS6HAzCHbvg4OFmbWelELtk51lA763iDT6ksQQjm8VgzuUSM7b4AHaT0e_PI6FuXhPvhzS7GEysoY5hLxilfggfbJw/s320/olive+picking+trees+ready.jpg" width="320" /></span></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6o8FV42qhTqtBpUVq1NTqHpufCacofjab8f-VkqNOUOQDV8pujXS6HAzCHbvg4OFmbWelELtk51lA763iDT6ksQQjm8VgzuUSM7b4AHaT0e_PI6FuXhPvhzS7GEysoY5hLxilfggfbJw/s1600/olive+picking+trees+ready.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1NLcftn7h9CVs6sF7vkBhSUqAlm8Ef8QZxNAet5V0J4WtR-J8C51RqpNhAdm1Gfj0AnkHhRrsWNal0FwmEGWX1ZnsFaG00OTBPL2FrkgLW5zMhrTYk8Z_qOzf9mlwcbsJwsDyUCvZSKafGvcO5vB2ZxYY0mU0boObgZkA4PuC1Zu9jwwSvchhAobY/s2560/20181111_113638.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2560" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1NLcftn7h9CVs6sF7vkBhSUqAlm8Ef8QZxNAet5V0J4WtR-J8C51RqpNhAdm1Gfj0AnkHhRrsWNal0FwmEGWX1ZnsFaG00OTBPL2FrkgLW5zMhrTYk8Z_qOzf9mlwcbsJwsDyUCvZSKafGvcO5vB2ZxYY0mU0boObgZkA4PuC1Zu9jwwSvchhAobY/s320/20181111_113638.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCu0IPO3SkeQ8l0TXlRbIqfjFs8B6oW220JYnJ7x7PC_B43UoA5ESwX_dOPBMxYxF7U8VB_nIHaGeV2AG62QHgNRKBV_89DHvlq9gPSqCXxrhZpyTI0SmIpruAhyrfQJbK3TcKsdkpzmvP5g6sD6kgNgBzm5b-3bvUb_nj9TFZSqcodYj7j7yVQ4Qv/s2560/20181121_084012.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2560" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCu0IPO3SkeQ8l0TXlRbIqfjFs8B6oW220JYnJ7x7PC_B43UoA5ESwX_dOPBMxYxF7U8VB_nIHaGeV2AG62QHgNRKBV_89DHvlq9gPSqCXxrhZpyTI0SmIpruAhyrfQJbK3TcKsdkpzmvP5g6sD6kgNgBzm5b-3bvUb_nj9TFZSqcodYj7j7yVQ4Qv/s320/20181121_084012.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption">Olive Harvest has been going for 1000's of years here in the Sabine Hills</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><style type="text/css">

text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">While this year has been the toughest the travel industry has ever faced, we endeavour to recognise those who deserve praise and to promote the hard work of tenacious travel businesses. Recipients of Travel & Hospitality awards in 2022 were scrupulously selected based on the aggregation of reviews from multiple third-party sources. Selected by a panel of experts who analyse submission material, review customer feedback and compare the facilities of each entrant. Our winners are those who can demonstrate their uniqueness, quality of services and facilities and exceptional levels of customer care across a number of categories.</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(39, 39, 39, 0.74); font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">In this extraordinary year of the awards over 22,000 nominations were received for this years programme, and the standard of entries was incredibly high. The judging panel had great difficulty in narrowing down the entries but the winners reflect the very best in travel and hospitality standards. The team at Travel & Hospitality Awards, said: “We were overwhelmed by the quality of entries this year. We hope this guide will be a useful tool for discerning travellers planning their next luxury getaway. Congratulations once again to all our winners.”</p><p style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgba(39, 39, 39, 0.74); font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">The full list of winners will be included in the annual awards publication that will be available for digital download in July.

It is La Befana, instead, who comes down through the chimney, bringing a stocking with sweets and small presents. She is a sort of good witch and a bit of an eccentric elderly lady, flying on her old broomstick through the sky at night. She comes on the 6th of January bearing gifts of sweets for those that are good and bits of charcoal for those naughty children. Adults have great fun with this tradition by setting the scene and building up the anticipation for their children and grandchildren the night before.</span><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">The origins of La Befana can be linked to the Goddess Diana in ancient Roman times, and could even date back as far as 4,000 years ago.<br /></span><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br />In Rome, there is a traditional Christmas market in Piazza Navona, that I remember going to as a child. Still today has plenty of Befane strolling around the piazza, while children eat zucchero filato (fairy floss) or mostaccioli, traditional Roman biscuits simply made out of flour, honey and walnuts.</span></div></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia;"><b>Chef Guido, Sally from Convivio Rome</b> have been offering Rome Day Trips, Rome Olive Tours, Rome Wine Tours, Italian Cooking Classes and Italian Culinary Vacations in the Sabine Hills since 2006 and also Virtual online Italian Cooking Classes since March 2020.

<span style="font-family: arial;"><br />
A lot of my clients and friends from different parts of the world often ask me why they should buy the more expensive extra virgin olive oil, as opposed to simply olive oil. Extra virgin olive oils are the pure juice of cold pressed olives. 'Olive oil', apart from a small percentage of extra virgin, is oil extracted with the help of harmful chemicals, which of course end up in the bottle. To make things more confusing, I have seen cheap olive oil marketed as 'light' , which doesn't change the result: harmful chemicals.</span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />

The best extra virgin olive oils are 'single estate' ones, from small producers such us the ones here in Sabina, who harvest the olives at the right time, when they are turning from green to black. This ensures low acidity and plenty of antioxidants. The quantity produced might be less from each tree, but the quality is at its highest. This explains why good extra virgin olive oil is not cheap.<br />
Moreover, would you buy olive oil from a huge company that also make washing powder and underarm deodorant? I wouldn't, even if their marketing image screams 'Italian-authentic-traditional'.</span><br />

The best kept wine secret of Italy is, without any doubt, Sagrantino di Montefalco. This wine is made of 100% Sagrantino grape from the hills and valleys around the tiny village of Montefalco, in southern Umbria. What makes this Italian native grape so special is that people simply forgot about it for many, many decades. In fact, the Sagrantino grape' history is well documented since medieval times. This allowed a group of passionate, small local wine makers to search for abandoned and overgrown vineyards, in search of the perfect Sagrantino. Seeds were collected, new vineyards were planted so today we can drink this precious wine again. Still today, there are only 30 Sagrantino producers.<br />
<br /><b>
Sagrantino di Montefalco</b> is in the same league as Brunello di Montalcino or Barolo, with a similar price tag but with even more character. Sagrantino has a very, very strong personality, is extremely aromatic, very tannic, spicy, with a definite taste of wild berries and, yes, chocolate. The notes of chocolate and spices come from ageing for at least 12 months in old oak barrels (according to Italian law). Of course, none of those 'barriques' that the French like so much.<br />
<br />
If you want full alcohol content (14,5%) get a 2003 vintage bottle (remember how hot the summer of 2003 was?). Otherwise, we are usually around 13.5%, with vintage 2004 gaining popularity. Have Sagrantino with strong cheese and black olives, not necessarily with a full meal. I always offer Sagrantino di Montefalco during our wine tasting evenings, part of our 5 Day Italian cooking holiday programme. It's great to share such a special and different wine with my clients (and watch their reaction to it!)<br />
<br />
Sagrantino di Montefalco is awarded <b>DOCG</b> ('Di Origine Controllata e Garantita', 'Of protected and Guaranteed Origin') denomination from the European Union, a seal of absolute quality. It exist in a sweet, dessert version called '<b>Sagrantino Passito</b>', delicious and very, very expensive.</span><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><p style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>Chef Guido and Sally</b><br /><strong>Founders</strong> of Convivio Rome Italian Cooking Holidays, Virtual and In- person Italian Cooking Classes and Guido’s Cook Club Monthly Membership, Winery Tours and Olive Tours</span></span></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Convivio Rome Italian Cooking Holidays</a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/one-day/one-day-cooking-classes.html" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">One Day Italian Cooking Classes</a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/olive-tour.html" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Half Day Rome Olive Tours</a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://www.winetoursrome.com/" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Half Day Rome Winery and Wine Tasting Tours</a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/virtual-cooking-class/virtual-Italian-cooking-party.html" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Virtual Italian Cooking Parties</a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/virtual-cooking-class/one-to-one-virtual-cooking.html" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Online Cooking Classes with Chef Guido</a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/virtual-cooking-class/corporate-team-building.html" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Corporate Virtual Cooking Events</a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/guidos-cook-club-monthly.html" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Guido's Cook Club Monthly Membership</span></a></div><p style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></span></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/virtual-cooking-class/online-cooking-package/" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Online Video Italian Cooking Package</a></span></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">www.conviviorome.com

I was asked to bring dessert, so I put together a very simple but delicious chocolate tart, made of orange flavoured short crust filled with chocolate ganache, which is dark chocolate melted in cream. I've used classic ganache proportions, which produce a brilliant, soft but firm, almost spreadable layer of delicious chocolate. I actually made two identical tarts by doubling the ingredients: they were both finished in no time!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">I wanted to share this popular recipe for my Crostata al Cioccolato e Arancia, with you!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br />

Crostata di Cioccolato e Arancio - Chocolate and Orange Tart</b><br /><u>Ingredients</u>: For the pastry: 150g of butter, 300g of flour, 150g of sugar, 3 egg yolks, orange zest, salt. For the filling: 200g of dark chocolate, 150g of fresh cream.
<br /><u>Method:</u> For the short pastry, mix flour with softened butter, add sugar, 3 egg yolks, orange zest, and a pinch of salt. Make the dough in to a ball, wrap it in film and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Roll the pastry and line a cake tin with it. Prepare the ganache sauce by melting chocolate and cream. Pour the ganache sauce in the tart. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes at 170 C (no need to 'blind bake'). Decorate with orange zest in the middle.<br />

Because of the olive trees and other evergreen Mediterranean plants, the Sabine hills are very green all year round. A visit to one of the many hilltop villages in the area will reveal beautiful views over valleys and mountains in the far distance.</span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm7BqRkV3EyOipmkVIxLP4lpSwRNUJwZF8cNtAhWF4LAZM-4HLlupVcJf1dnBkqJorIcp2DdbJW3YH7SXXUr6knTwbhq-DuId84XMoMyOgxFbp784LUCyUOwn-EgJFTWOMoqwii4pC0Jw/s2048/3_bruschette_+garlic_tomato_+olives.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1484" data-original-width="2048" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm7BqRkV3EyOipmkVIxLP4lpSwRNUJwZF8cNtAhWF4LAZM-4HLlupVcJf1dnBkqJorIcp2DdbJW3YH7SXXUr6knTwbhq-DuId84XMoMyOgxFbp784LUCyUOwn-EgJFTWOMoqwii4pC0Jw/w400-h290/3_bruschette_+garlic_tomato_+olives.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Bruschette with Sabine Hill's olive oil</td></tr></tbody></table><p><b><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br />Food in the Sabine Hills</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Sabina is famous for its extra virgin olive oil, the very first in Italy to receive the DOP denomination. Olive oil has been produced here for millennia (there is an olive tree that's 2000 years old) and is known for being light and flavorful at the same time. The area is also well known for pecorino cheese, olives, salami and of course guanciale (cured pork cheek), necessary for any amatriciana or carbonara pasta sauce. <a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/one-day/" target="_blank">Cooking classes</a>, ranging from half day to 5 nights, are run in Toffia by <a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/" target="_blank">Convivio Rome</a> as well as half-day <a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/olive-tour.html" target="_blank">olive oil tours</a> and <a href="https://www.winetoursrome.com/" target="_blank">wine tours</a>.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #757575; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span>Sally and Chef Guido</span><br /><strong>Founders</strong> of Convivio Rome Italian Cooking Holidays, Virtual Cooking Classes and Guido’s Cook Club Monthly Membership</span></span></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Convivio Rome Italian Cooking Holidays</a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/one-day/one-day-cooking-classes.html" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">One Day Italian Cooking Classes</a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/olive-tour.html" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Half Day Rome Olive Tours</a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.winetoursrome.com/" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Half Day Rome Winery and Wine Tasting Tours</a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/virtual-cooking-class/virtual-Italian-cooking-party.html" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Virtual Italian Cooking Parties</a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/virtual-cooking-class/one-to-one-virtual-cooking.html" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Online Cooking Classes with Chef Guido</a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/virtual-cooking-class/corporate-team-building.html" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Corporate Virtual Cooking Events</a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/guidos-cook-club-monthly.html" target="_blank">Guido's Cook Club Monthly Membership</a></div><p style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia, times, "times new roman", serif;"></span></span></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/virtual-cooking-class/online-cooking-package/" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Online Video Italian Cooking Package</a></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">www.conviviorome.com

My nonna was from Genova, therefore every year she would make a whole lot of these delicious ‘torte’ not only for the family but also as a gift for friends. </span></span></span></p><p style="color: #757575; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: georgia, times, "times new roman", serif;">I would love to share this very traditional recipe with you. Easter Monday, for most Italians, is picnic day out in parks or in the countryside or even in your own garden. Torta Pasqualina is therefore perfect for this celebration with family and friends. For this pie, you can make your own puff pastry or buy it ready made.

Drain and cool. Once cool, squeeze out as much water as you can from the spinach, then place it into a large bowl. Mix with the ricotta and add the olive oil, 1 tbsp at a time. Add marjoram and salt to your taste. Line the bottom and the sides of a cake pan (measuring about 23 cm or 9.0 inches) with the first puff pastry sheet. Put the spinach and ricotta mixture on top of the pastry in the pan. Create 5 little indentations in the mixture, using your hands or a tablespoon, to accommodate for the eggs. Brake the eggs and pour them into the 5 spaces you’ve created. Sprinkle with grated parmigiano cheese. Then top with the second puff pastry sheet, making sure it seals together with the first one. Bake at 160º C (320º F) for 45 minutes or until golden.</span></span><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-family: georgia, times, "times new roman", serif;">Buona Pasqua a tutti, Happy Easter<em> e A Presto!</em></span></strong><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="font-family: georgia, times, "times new roman", serif;">Sally and Chef Guido</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia, times, "times new roman", serif;"><strong>Founders</strong> of Convivio Rome Italian Cooking Holidays, Virtual Cooking Classes and Guido’s Cook Club Monthly Membership</span></span></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Convivio Rome Italian Cooking Holidays</a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/one-day/one-day-cooking-classes.html" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">One Day Italian Cooking Classes</a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/olive-tour.html" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Half Day Rome Olive Tours</a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.winetoursrome.com/" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Half Day Rome Winery and Wine Tasting Tours</a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/virtual-cooking-class/virtual-Italian-cooking-party.html" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Virtual Italian Cooking Parties</a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/virtual-cooking-class/one-to-one-virtual-cooking.html" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Online Cooking Classes with Chef Guido</a></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/virtual-cooking-class/corporate-team-building.html" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Corporate Virtual Cooking Events</a></span></div><p style="color: #757575; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: georgia, times, "times new roman", serif;"></span></span></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.conviviorome.com/virtual-cooking-class/online-cooking-package/" style="color: #992211; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Online Video Italian Cooking Package</a></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">www.conviviorome.com

A Zoom Italian cooking party is also a wonderful way to celebrate a special occasion, such as birthdays, anniversaries and other significant life events. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Over this past year, the number of live virtual cooking classes has multiplied and it seems the market it's flooded with seemingly good offers. Choosing a live, virtual Italian cooking class that's right for you is not easy. So, how do you choose a virtual online Italian Cooking Class on Zoom?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">1) <b>Experience. </b>First of all, it's good to look for a cooking school with many years of experience in giving cooking classes <u>in person</u>. This will make your Zoom Italian cooking class online a smooth and relaxed experience that will make you feel like you are cooking together with your teacher/chef, interacting and engaging in a friendly and comfortable manner.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">2) <b>Is the Teacher/Chef Italian, and living in Italy? </b>When choosing<b> </b>a<b> </b>virtual online Italian cooking class on Zoom, it's important to select a native Italian teacher/chef that was born and grew up in Italy and speaks clear English. There is no substitute for the authenticity that only comes with being born and living in Italy, surrounded by its culinary traditions and cultural experiences everyday. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">3) <b>Professionalism, awards and reviews. </b>Another great way to choose a virtual online Italian cooking class on Zoom is noticing the care that's taken in responding to your enquiry quickly, thoroughly and professionally, as your first impressions count. Checking a cooking school's awards and reviews on Google, Trip Advisor and Social Media helps you understand the experience that previous guests have had. It is also a good idea to read how the cooking school responded to the reviews.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">At Convivio Rome, we have been running Italian cooking classes in central Italy near Rome for 16 years. We started offering virtual online Italian cooking classes on Zoom since March 2020. As soon as we started, we transferred all our in person experience online. Our aim is to quickly make our guests feel comfortable and feel like they are part of a real-life cooking experience and welcomed into our Italian family home. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="background-color: white;">Here is what a recent<i> </i>cooking class guests wrote about her<i> </i></span></span>virtual online Italian cooking class experience:</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">"Hi Sally and Chef Guido, </span><span style="color: #222222;">Thank you again for such a wonderful cooking experience. We had "chefs" of all different experience levels in our party and each one had a great time following along with Chef Guido! Those who were nervous to tackle such a traditional italian dish quickly became comfortable due to how welcoming you two are. You have mastered the "art of zoom" and love that you all go the extra mile to ensure everyone is at the right step and nobody is left behind. I know the ladies appreciated how comfortable it was to ask questions throughout. </span></i></span><i style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: verdana;">I am certainly looking forward to making this again in the future! </i></p><p style="background-color: white;

So far, we could only watch the first 'Naples' episode as the others apparently are not released in Italy yet. However, I think the show is clever and fun, it's never stereotypical and it shows you an 'off the beaten track' side of Italy and its food and culture.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Tucci really takes you through the backstreets of Italy and his show is miles away from the usual 'postcard' approach to my home country. He talks to real people with a passion for cooking and to those producing the best ingredients for their regional cuisine. Simplicity of the Italian dishes and the importance of the quality (rather than the quantity) of ingredients is well demonstrated, a main aspect of Italian cuisine I also like to highlight in my Italian Cooking Classes. </span><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">'Searching for Italy' really shows you the true diversity of the Italian regions and their traditions: this was a pleasant surprise for me.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Tucci speaks good Italian and I was very impressed by the way he interacts and engages with the locals in their own language. </span><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">As an 8th generation Roman, I am really looking forward to seeing the Rome episode!</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #222222; font-family: verdana;">- Guido</span></p><p><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="color: #222222;
