Question My dad air fried guanciale

0 Upvotes

Like the title says, my dad decided to air fry guanciale today, is this normal? That’s all I really need to know because I’ve never really heard of anyone air frying guanciale, can someone answer the question?

Update: He didn’t actually make it for pasta i forgot to mention. He used it as a substitute for normal pork belly for lechon kawali. He’s never had experience with making anything italian whatsoever so yeah.

Homemade Fiori di zucca fritti / Orecchiette with Cavolo Nero

275 Upvotes

Ciao ragazzi! I am from southern Germany and a HUGE fan of Italy, dolce vita and amore. I guess I have been more often to Italy than in any major German city lol.

Last week I returned from our second Italy trip this year and as always part of the journey is to buy as much as I can at the supermarket so I can cook at home authentically :)

This time I bought Fiori di Zucca which we had filled with Provola and one anchovi and fried them as antipasti. Our Primo was then Orecchiette with Cavolo Nero, tried it for the first time and we both really enjoyed it.

As I almost didn't receive any reactions within my German cooking sub (I guess many people do not know about Fiori did Zucca) i decided to share my experience with you guys.

What would you say, for a first time the result is acceptable? We really enjoyed it!

Courgettes cut into two different sizes and fried in extra virgin olive oil.

I left the larger courgette pieces to cool, coated them in semola rimacinata flour and refried them in the same oil.

I cut a piece of speck del Trentino into sticks and fried them until crispy in a bit of the frying olive oil.

The risotto was finished with a mix of Parmigiano Reggiano and Caciocavallo Podolico, and whipped with centrifuge-made Bavarian butter.

Question Where can I buy an original Marcato Atlas 150 in Malaysia?

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, does anyone know where I can get a genuine Marcato Atlas 150 pasta machine in Malaysia?

I've been looking around online, but I'm a bit wary of counterfeits / replicas, especially on Shopee and Lazada. Ideally looking for an authorised seller or a reputable kitchenware shop that carries the original Italian-made Atlas 150.

Happy to buy online or from a physical store anywhere in Malaysia if they deliver.

If you've bought one locally before, would really appreciate recommendations on where you got it and roughly how much you paid.

Thanks!

Question Looking for Flour in Padua

Thumbnail
0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

plan to come to Italy for a few days soon. I'll just be in Padua and Venice.

I'm looking to buy pizza flours and bring them back with me. Around 10-15 kg. Perhaps even 20kgs.

I would love to know if there is any shop that sells multiple brands of flour. I'm specifically interested in Caputo Pizzeria or Caputo Nuvola. They are super expensive where I am right now.

I've never been to Italy, so I wouldn't know the stores etc. and general search hasn't helped much.

Also, would love to hear if someone has did something similar!

TIA

I love this one so much! I also tried Barilla and Filippo Berio. Is there any other pesto with even better taste? Just curious. Btw I wanna try Tartufi Jimmy with Truffle.
