This is another of my favourite cocktails, a classic but very simple drink that you can serve in many occasions, parties, luncheon cocktails, brunch etc... it's light compared to many other cocktails. You need, gin, dry Martini, red Italian vermouth and fresh orange juice (from red "sanguine" in my case). You need a shaker and a martini cocktail glass, ice cubes and in few minutes the Bronx cocktail will be ready!

Ingredients:
6 parts of gin (3cl-1oz)
3 parts orange juice (1,5 cl- 1/2oz)
3 parts of red Italian vermouth (1,5 cl-1/2oz)
2 parts of dry Martini (1cl- 1/3oz)
In a shaker, shake all ingredients together with ice cubes till cold, serve immediately in a martini cocktail glass.  If you like, you can garnish with an orange twist. Enjoy you Bronx cocktail!

Neapolitan "Sfogliatella Frolla" (sfogliatella frolla napoletana)

By my Italian cuisine
 The content and pictures of this post are copyright registered & protected ©myitaliancuisine I miss Italy tremendously... so today I will propose you something very traditional from Naple: the Sfogliatella! Neapolitan most famous pastry:"Sfogliatella"comes in two styles: "riccia", with a crust of many crisp, papery layers, and "frolla", with a thicker pastry crust. The riccia's tender exterior (made with flour, water, and lard) consists of concentric squashed rings. The frolla shell (made with flour, sugar, and butter or lard) is like the best sweet piecrust. Both hold fillings of sweetened ricotta and cooked semolina flavored with vanilla, "millefiori" flavour and mixed candied fruits. I propose you the Sfogliatella frolla, much easier to make at home....but terrific as well as the Riccia! The filling is, anyway, always the same. Makes about 20 Sfogliatelle Ingredients for the pastry crust: 500gr Pastry flour 180gr

 The content and pictures of this post are copyright registered & protected ©myitaliancuisine The Pastiera is the most famous Neapolitan Easter traditional pastry. Prepared since centuries, in the region of Campania almost every family own his special Pastiera recipe. It's a pie crust with a filling of boiled grains (grano cotto), milk, ricotta, candied fruits (cedro, zucca e arancia candita), orange blossoms water (acqua di fiori d'arancio). The  Pastiera is so famous to deserve its own website: www.pastiera.com, I have got Pastiera from the Italian bakeries since I was a child.... and now I've finally baked it myself, a few times, trying to get the good recipe.... finally I think I got it!
