Re: Gino's italian escape
So far so good.
He had me with the choc flourless cake.
I was curious about the desert he had.....sounded like delicia alemone. I thought he said cake with custard in it, covered with cream. Anyone have a more correct name for that. Would like to know more about it.
Thanks to all.

Hi. I haven't seen Gino's programme but I think he'll be saying delizioso al limone. The nearest I can find is this recipe (assuming Gino's is in his book):
https://www.manusmenu.com/delizie-al-limone
There's an Italian custard cake that seems to fit what you describe, but it's vanilla not lemon. Maybe Gino's is a cross between the two?

I love custard, so if you make one, please send us a slice

Re: Gino's italian escape
I thought the torta with the almonds looked wonderful. I was interested to see Capri too, as you often hear about it but for some reason seldom see it on TV

Re: Gino's italian escape
I'm kicking myself.
Last year, he was in Southern Italy - Sowthern as he says.
And recommended a sparkling wine that they would all drink rather than prosecco. Which wasn't rated highly.
He had the bottle cooling nicely in the sea, and I believed I'd remember the name. Never did!
Always liked Gino's recipes, so I must catch up on the series.
Hang on, I see it's on youtube ................ back in half an hour.

Re: Gino's italian escape
Jeral, Renee
Thank you for the link. That was indeed it.
Looks Dee-lish but kinda labour intensive too.
It talked about the semisphere tins. Anyone have a clue as to what size. Thanks

Re: Gino's italian escape
mark111757, the tin looks like silicon to me, so is probably one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cavity-Sphere- ... dpSrc=srch
I imagine that the volume of the semispheres is very similar irrespective of which brand. Also that the volume is very similar to a 6-cup muffin tray which is what the baker of the original recipe uses. Presumably the recipe makes the right amount.
I must apologise to Renée for following her earlier. For some reason the screen didn't tell me that a new post had arrived when I posted mine.

Re: Gino's italian escape
Yes, must apologise to Linnet too. I popped my post into hers by mistake - corrected now.
Sue - the wine is on your link. His recommendation is from his Lombardia episode right at the end @ 20mins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDTdLCbk5IE
Franciacorta.
And going over these episodes, I'm really convinced he's a very good chef. He made little stuffed nibbles with cream cheese.
Plus a super tomato & fish dish.
Love the look of that lemon dome dessert too, but I haven't seen his recent episodes yet.

Re: Gino's italian escape
I remember in epi 2 I think of coastal escape,there was a beverage he talked about. It was cooling in a net fastened to the boat he was on. I thought he spoke very highly of it as well
Recipe for lemon desert looked good. A bit labour intensive.
Jeral, thank you for the link to the tins, will check that out.
Here is one example of franciacorta for sale
