English soup with Nutella ®: the recipe – Italian Cuisine

English soup with Nutella ®: the recipe


Single portion and suitable for the whole family, our trifle challenges the canons of tradition to find a new form. Without changing the substance

They have never heard of English soup in London, but in Emilia Romagna it is the most typical dessert and together with tortellini and wraps it is part of the identity of a whole reason. The paternity is contended between Ferrara and Florence, where either an English nanny or a cook from the Estense family would have reproduced a trifle with what was found for the hands, that is, cream and biscuits. Both Artusi and modern historians have dealt with it without getting to grips with it yet, a sign that cooking is the result of influences, evolutions, intuitions, and that looking for "the first version" of such ancient stories is really difficult. What matters is the result: you eat it at home and in the restaurant and even if there is no codified "original recipe", everyone would agree in saying that it is a layered spoon cake, made of sponge cake (or ladyfingers, it doesn't matter) , interspersed with custard, chocolate cream, and embellished with a beautiful red color. The credit goes to alchermes, a typical Italian liqueur that colors many typical sweets, but which not everyone likes and always excludes the little ones from the party. That's why our version has one fruit reduction – and obviously layers of creamy Nutella® .

To interpret the trifle we have chosen Catherine and Lorenzo, Belgian and Bolognese by adoption she, Bolognese doc he, perfect interpreters of what tradition means today. Rezdora and the artistic son of a family of sfogline, Lorenzo met his future wife at university and together they made their grandmother's pasta factory evolve into a modern restaurant business with two locations in Bologna and Casalecchio di Reno. the way to pass on the tradition of fresh pasta with a contemporary format, before this knowledge was lost forever and meeting the new generations. With us they did the same thing with the trifle.

They usually eat trifle every Christmas, but their father-in-law prepares it (because Catherine just doesn't like to make it): this time she accepted the challenge and prepared it for us. Will he have beaten the master?
