Babà

Babà is a typical Neapolitan pastry dessert. This dessert was born from the revisitation of a Polish dessert, which exploited above all the leavening procedure which guarantees an extremely frothy and soft consistency. This dessert, called babka ponczowa, became simply babà, a much more pronounceable term. Soaked in rum, today this dessert has managed to conquer not only the hearts of Neapolitans, but of all of Italy, becoming a sweet symbol of the city. This dessert is prepared either in a single version, with the classic mushroom-shaped babà, or in the shape of a cake which is sliced and served in a similar way to a panettone. It is enjoyed alone, but is often also garnished with custard, whipped cream and fresh fruit.

Green Lasagna Bolognese

Green lasagna alla bolognese is a dish known to all and very famous, not only throughout Emilia, but also throughout the world.

The preparation of this dish is more than difficult and long and laborious, however the results will greatly reward the effort in preparing it!
