My diary
The experimentation of new tastes and particular ingredients, the search for unconventional working methods, have always been the most interesting part of my work.
Since I started with cooking classes I noticed how interested the participants are in these aspects.
So I decided to publish my experiments online.
But you can also find simple recipes for homemade preparation of gelato, with as few ingredients as possible and guides that can help those who didn’t take part in one of my cooking classes.
