Apple & Cheese Crostini

Crostini is an Italian appetizer, which consists of small slices of toasted bread, coated with a variety of many different ingredients, usually salty.
The proposal here is a sweet version, with caramelized apple sauce and raisins in sweet and sour tonnes, adding balsamic cream, honey and pepper. The neutral cheese cream works coherently adding a mild taste to accept the strength of the sauce. The touch in the culinary climax of this excellent bite is fresh, chopped rosemary, with a very strong flavor and aroma.

Smoked Salmon Tagliatelle

Tagliatelle with delicious, creamy, white sauce from cream cheese, pieces of smoked salmon and freshly ground black pepper wrap tagliatelle. Salmon leaves the smoky and salty flavor on the whole dish. Vodka amplifies its taste and is a great match for the saltiness of salted fish.
A dish simple and with quick preparation but exploding from taste and will appeal to all lovers (or not) of pasta.

Pumpkin Soup

Hearty and delicious Pumpkin Soup, made from a large slice of a huge pumpkin, which was cut, and some pieces arrived in my Kitchen. A Pumpkin Soup was made, for the cold days and evenings of winter:

• When we need comforting food, with warm tones and textures.
• When we need a soup detoxifying, from the gustatory binge, and…
• When there are pumpkins in the grocery shop!

Then enjoy it with large, overflowing tablespoons that burn the palate and tongue and warm our insides.
An orange, velvety, and thick Pumpkin Soup, with intensity in taste and in the presence of crunching, bread chunks (croutons), crisp bacon, and cheddar flakes for extra flavor. All garnish makes a very rich flavor. Thyme is the perfect fragrance eliminating the pumpkin aftertaste.
It comes with a red dry wine for the apotheosis of simplicity, taste, and enjoyment.
Be assured that you will repeat very soon, pumpkins are undefeated…

Persimmon Panna Cotta

White and light panna cotta cream with coconut milk, vanilla and persimmon sauce. The flavors are balanced and combined together to allow us to enjoy the delicate taste of coconut, the essential aromas of natural vanilla and the particular flavor of mature, edible Persimmon.
Try this exquisite and easy dessert, free of sugar after the addition of stevia to sweeten excellently without removing the dessert flavor and substance.
… And not to forget, the modern Greek name of the fruit persimmon is "Lotus" which leads us to the assumption that this fruit is mentioned in Homer's Odyssey.
