ROMaSCO romesco PESTO sauce

ROMaSCO romesco PESTO sauce by Foodessa

A savoury nut - tomato based specialty...which has originated in Spain has now been taken over by an Italian. Aromatic, rich and incredibly flavourful is exactly how I would describe this pesto. I took the classic 'Catalan' red-rusty colored pesto from the Spaniards and whipped an Italian version of my own.

Cheddar scalloped POTATO gratin simile DAUPHINOIS

Cheddar scalloped POTATO gratin simile DAUPHINOIS by Foodessa

Very high in flavour...very high on calorie reduction too! I’ve been trying desperately to replicate a 'Potato Dauphinois gratin'...The king of gratinées! After having made these scalloped potatoes...I think I’ve come darn close to realizing my simile version of this great dish. If I may...I'll call her the 'Queen' to her King…

creamy CANNOLI maple syrup RICOTTA filling

creamy CANNOLI maple syrup RICOTTA filling by Foodessa

I'll leave the authenticity to the ones who do it best. In the meantime, I've enjoyed tinkering with this recipe and this is what I've grown to appreciate best. It is a very lightly smooth textured mousse-like creamy filling. Versatile enough to add your own personality to it. For a dedicated post...please refer to:…
