Celery risotto
Imagine a risotto, deliciously creamy of course, but made with diced celery instead of rice.

You follow the classic risotto preparation process, cooking gently and gradually stirring in stock, but at the end you add a little mascarpone, and you'll be amazed at the delicious result.

"Psychedelic" sandwich bread
This amazing-looking loaf uses a basic sandwich bread recipe, but half the dough is coloured yellow with turmeric, the other half black with squid ink. The two colours are then rolled up together to give the spiral effect you can see in the photo. The outside is coated with sesame seeds. This surprising bread is full of flavour and, with its "psychedelic" look, it makes spectacular sandwiches and canapés.
