About Vanilla

Vanilla is available in the market in the form of sticks or pods, similar to wooden sticks also in brown color. It is also available in a much more convenient powder form. The delicate and sweet aroma is given by the presence of vanillin, which forms after the drying and fermentation of the fruit produces this aromatic component. Vanilla is used in pastry to flavor creams, spoon desserts, syrups, and naturally shortcrust cakes and cookies.

in cucina con pina

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
