Crostini alla Fiorentina

Recipe by: nostatic

Be the first to review it!

This is a traditional Italian starter that is, essentially, liver pate served on toasted rustic bread. This is a nice recipe for parties and wine tastings. For vegetarians in attendance, you can also prepare a version with finely chopped (and drained) herbed tomatoes as it is equally delicious. You can serve the dish hot or cold on toasted baguette or ciabatta.

Glace Fruits

Recipe by: Allrecipes staff

Be the first to review it!

Delicious in cakes or biscuits, for garnishes or a snack, glacé fruit is worth the effort. It is the relatively easy process of candying fruit in simple syrup. For this recipe, we will use the example of orange peel, though you can use grapefruit or lemon peel, as well as fresh halved cherries or pineapple pieces. But you don't have to stop with fruit: slivers of candied carrot make a gorgeous garnish for carrot cakes.
