Hello!Today I decided to try a new recipe from Giallo Zafferano... As you see, I'll use Mascarpone cheese. But it doesn't mean it's tiramisu ... (by the way, I can cook tiramisu dessert and I like it very much) 

Let's see!Today I'll need milk chocolate, ladyfingers and coffee... 

Always try something new!

Grape mood

Hello!Today I tried a new recipe;)It is grape focaccia,a kind of Italian pastry.We enjoyed it so much and I decided to share with you!Sure you would like to see the recipe and try to bake it!Here we go!!!

For filling:

Sugar 100 g

Black grapes 800 g

Olive oil extra virgin 8 tbsp

For the bread dough:

Flour 500 g

Water 300 ml

Yeast 12 g (fresh)

Malt (or honey, sugar) 1 tsp

To prepare the grape focaccia, begin by making the bread dough: dissolve the yeast (1) and the malt (2) in a little lukewarm water (taken from the total amount needed), mix and let it rest for a few minutes. In a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the sifted flour with the yeast and malt mixture (3)

and start beating, adding the remaining water in a thin stream (4). When it forms a smooth and soft dough, transfer to a floured pastry board and knead quickly with your hands (5). Form into a ball, place in a bowl, covered with cling film (or with a clean, damp cloth) and let it rise for a couple of hours in the turned off oven, with the light turned on: it should double in volume (6).

When the bread dough has risen, return to the mixer and beat for another 5 minutes, adding ¼ cup (50 g) of sugar and 4 tablespoons of oil (7) (if you prefer, you can knead by hand). Now wash the grapes under cold running water (8) and remove from the stems (9).

Divide the bread dough into 2 parts and roll them out with a rolling pin to a thickness of ½ inch (1 cm) (10). Brush a 12x15-inch (30x40 cm) baking pan with oil (11-12);

place the first sheet of dough on the bottom of the pan, top with half of the grapes (13), sprinkle with a tablespoon of sugar (14) and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil (15).

Now place the second sheet of dough on top (16), add the remaining grapes, then sprinkle with sugar (17) and drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Bake your grape focaccia in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 50-60 minutes (18); once cooked, let it cool and serve sliced.

I took the recipe from Giallo Zafferano app, I find it really exciting and very useful!

More sweet inspiration...

Pasta&planets weekend

Hello!It's finally Sunday, though I'm on holidays now,I was waiting for this day because...My cousin and I decided to go Moscow Planetarium.We were there about two months ago but it was so interesting...

By the way,today I cooked a delicious kind of pasta with tomatoes,cheese and aromatic herbs...

Here it is!Isn't it nice looking?

And then our Planetarium adventure started... 

Here are my brother (left) and my cousin (right) just entering the Planetarium.We three usually go out together,it seems like we are a cool company!

We arrived there in the evening,but it wasn't too dark so...I hope it's possible to see something on the photos:)This place is on the roof of one of the halls.It's just like balcony

We also saw a wonderful film Shawn with a special projector.So, you feel like you're watching the night sky full of stars...To tell the truth the sky in Moscow region is never clear and it's not possible to see any stars.Very sad indeed,when I was younger I dreamed to watch the stars but I was never able to.

The film lasted about an hour,not more.Then we got into on of the Moon halls and view some exciting experiments there.They all were connected to science,and each one was something new...I lovespending time with Georgios (my brother) and Maxim (my cousin)

By the way,when we were just finishing our exursion my dad phoned me and told there was a terrible rain outside and we had to stay inside...But still,we got out,though it was already dark and really raining,we ran quickly to our car and....drove home.

A bit tired,but not exhausted,just happily tired with pleasant reflections.What can I say.I'll be looking forward to having such nice going out again:)

And some photos and a new look 

I'm wearing:
