The playlist for cooking the biscuits and lemon cream cake – Italian Cuisine

The kitchen is a symphony of smells, colors and flavors. So, while we are on the stove, it is nice to listen to the music that we like and that matches with our recipe. Here is the soundtrack that will keep us company while we prepare the cake with biscuits and lemon cream

When you decide to make a dessert, it's always a wonderful day. That's why we chose Blasco to open the playlist that will be our soundtrack during the preparation of this solar Cookies cake and lemon cream. Okay, peering out of the window there is only the grayness of winter and the rain that falls as if there was no tomorrow. But the yellow of the lemons that we are cutting and the orange of the eggs that we mix with the sugar and the flour awaken our most beautiful memories: the glow of the summer and the warmth of the sun that descends from an increasingly blue sky. We can also hear the sound of the sea, a few steps away from us. And over there, on the horizon, maybe we also see a strange yellow submarine peeping out from the blue surface.

So, while we mix our compound on the stove for ten minutes, it will not be difficult to even imagine the warmth of the tropical countries; fantasize a trip to Mexico, among clouds, beaches and Aztec pyramids; or dream of our bright Italian south dancing the taranta. And then, handling the biscuits to be rolled out and crumbled, we unleash ourselves in small, quick little steps in the narrow confines of a few tiles in our kitchen. But for us, it's like dancing on the world!

What if it was a love triangle? Why not? Adam, Eve and the Cookies cake and lemons cream to act as a convict, as a trait d'union. After all, eros and throat are almost one thing, right? This is also told by the visionary Dante, who in his Inferno puts lustful and greedy ones next to each other (II and III circle). But do not worry: there is only winter out there, not hell, and some sins we can even give it to us, come on! For today, the motto is: free everyone!

Well, the cake is in front of us, in all its splendor. You just have to wait for it to cool. We look at you pleased and satisfied. And it does not matter if it did not come out perfect: for us it's beautiful, like every buckskin it's nice to mom soja. And then we raise our arms as a sign of victory and at the top of our lungs: "We are the champions, we are the champions …".

How the lemon has conquered our director (and the cover) – Italian Cuisine

They do well and are happy: the lemons are the protagonists of our February cover with an unmissable cake

There Winter cake February, made with biscuits, lemon cream and decorated with fresh lemons, is a simple and effective recipe. How did he become the trends Of this month?

Let's start from the principal prince, the lemon. There are reasons to choose too: it is rich in vitamin C, cleanses the body and you can use every part of it, from the juice to the rind. Making them irresistible is very easy with the Winter Cake recipe.

It is not difficult, therefore, to imagine how this citrus fruit did to conquer our director Maddalena Fossati and to earn the leading role on the February cover. Let's find out with 5 curiosities.

5 questions to Maddalena Fossati on the Winter Cake

1. Often lemons are associated with the summer. Why were they chosen for the month of February?

We can also look at it from another point of view: we went into the colder period of the year and we need a good dose of vitamins. The lemons are full and their season has begun. That's why we have chosen them, to do well to our body, without giving up gluttony!

2. Why was this cake chosen for the cover?

Lemon is good for health, but it is also good for our mood, with the joy of its beautiful yellow color. It is an ingredient that appeals to most people and that most likely everyone has at home, just like the other ingredients needed to prepare cake. And what's better than cooking without shopping?

3. The cake is an explosion of yellow. When you think about this color in which place would you like to travel instantly?

Yellow makes me think of a bikini: I imagine a bright sun on the beach, maybe in Brazil, in Rio de Janeiro.

4. What is the personal twist that you would add to this recipe?

A small addition to give a little more perfume: a leaf of mint or basil.

5. The cake has 5 slices. Who would you offer them to?

Obviously to my son Leonardo and my partner Giacomo. A little bit also to Oga, our little dog! Finally one to my mayor Beppe Sala and another to the nice rapper I just met, Emis Killa.
