In “corolle” plaited by hand like years ago. Suitable not only for cooking but also to add beauty to the kitchen
or particular rooms. Without forgetting that they are a symbol of fortune and well-being. For example, studious
people tell me that garlic is good for the heart, blood pressure, prevents arterio-sclerosis and it is a powerful
vermifugal etc. In short, “a clove of garlic a day keeps the doctor away”.
Great chefs taught me that with garlic they make extraordinary and simple dishes. Instead, onions are duiretic,
digestive, a laxative and a sedative. It can be used to soothe wasp and bee stings, in merit I know something,
and for many other everyday things in a farmers life. Years ago there were no medicine and facilities of
today and people lived on what nature provided. Cooked or raw, the onion is the Queen in the kitchen for simple dishes and for amazing deserts. Regarding this, if anyone is interested I can give them typical farmer
recipes, today they have become great dishes in famous restaurants.
Garlic and onions are available in plaits, by reservation.
Died lentils and Spelt
From the table-land are very good, appetizing and easy to cook.
I have taken the permission to offer you more than one motive to taste or to give, even during this beginning
of the year, a speciality really exquisite and now not to be found, to your family, friends, relatives and acquaintances.
A genuine gift, appreciated and useful to show a strong and unforgettable gesture of affection and
friendship.
For particular recurrence or occasions I can prepare, by reservation and my confirmation, limited and particular
gift confections, in wicker baskets worked and plaited by hand, by wise and antique farmer knowledge (the
well-known “canestri” round shallow wicker baskets), now almost disappeared, used in the past to pick fruit
and many other products, today replaced by plastic containers much lighter and convenient, but certainly colder,
impersonal and anonymous.
This canestre can be made in one or two colours by reservation.
