zucchero di canna

A tradition that is always alive,: to stay together with my family and cook: adults and children knead, shape cookies and sweets to share at Christmas. In the kitchen, the atmosphere is warm and we have the occasion to meet each other, to listen to music, to sing Christmas songs, to talk and stay in silence and get in touch with the real Christmas atmosphere. Today I share with you a traditional family recipe: black and white cookies that I have slightly revised, using a type “1” flour, ghee instead of butter and brown cane sugar. I wish you to be able to spend happy holidays and to feel the beauty that is behind the simplest gestures and the most authentic encounters. Merry Christmas.

I’ve met pancakes for the first time during a study holiday in England, many years ago ☺ Since then they have become a very special way to start a day.

Pancakes represent in our family a really “Special” breakfast. Generally, I prepare them with my children, on Sunday mornings, when there’s no school and the awakening is more gradual …. This is a vegan version, accompanied by the first strawberries of the season and some mint leaves. I will certainly publish many other variations … Meanwhile try this and tell me if you like 😉

Christmas is coming and there is a memory in my mind, so clear and pleasant: when I was a child, during this period of the year, my mother and my grandmother, used to prepare a lot of cookies to give as present to friends and relatives…since I have a family, I keep alive this tradition preparing cookies with my children and it’s a very nice experience for everybody.

One cookie leads to another, so for this recipe, I’ve decided to use only light ingredients so you will be free to eat one more 😉
