CHRISTMAS WITH YOURS, EASTER WITH WHOEVER YOU WANT!!
published on 20/03/2023Here another party is coming! Unlike Christmas period, people don’t start eating typical sweets a month before (fortunately), but it’s always good to choose the right ones and puntting attention on ingredients lists of products we buy!
“It’s better the darker one with chili pepper, because it’s made with LOT of spciy cocoa and LITTLE sugar!”
Do you really prefer dark chocolate egg?
Everyone says it, but when we are in front of egg shelf, we re more tempted to buy the white one or we stop just at the word “dark” (bacause if you read carefully behind the package, you’ll find 40%-50% of cocoa against, while the real dark contains 80%-90%).
This happens because unfortunately we are influenced by our brain, but above all by the extreme quantity of sugar we take daily.
Do you know how many other typical Easter sweets we have in Tuscany? Here, I want to list a few and suggest you to choose the more attractive for you, savor it bite after bite using all of yours papillas. TASTE the flavour and try to guess some ingredients and some aroma by smelling, with closed eyes.
This means eating, non just swallowing, evething we find in front of us!

The traditional recipe includes as ingredients flour , sugar, eggs, orange juice and peel, lemon, anise seeds and yeast.In order to make the sweets more digestible, a pinch of JalapLemon spice woulnd’t hurt.
