Maroggia’s Mill Cookbook: Rye Beer Burger Buns / Il Ricettario del Mulino di Maroggia: Burger Buns alla birra di segale

Did you know that Maroggia’s Mill sells Beer too?? Oh yes, we are talking about la birra del mugnaio (miller’s beer) and for this recipe for Maroggia Mill’s Cookbook I thought of using this product to invent beer burgers buns! These sandwiches have a delicious flavour of beer that goes well with the finest flavours of meat and all the ingredients that make a good hamburger. Add some proper cheese, fresh tomato and onion and I assure you…you will love them! Burger must be accompanied by a good beer, of course! These sandwiches are so soft I can’t find the words to describe them and in my opinion they are very well suited for breakfast too if you like intense aromatic notes! Have you turned the grill on?

ZZAFF! Gazosa casalinga

Summer time has finally arrived! For the fourth episode of ZZAFF! I decided to try out a classic drink which is very commonly drunk during the warm season: gazosa. It’s sort of a homemade version of Sprite, and it is usally mixed with red wine or beer (this version is called panaché) but flavoured versions of the drink can be found in shops. One of the most common, and my favourite, is tangerine. This has been the first time I tried to make gazosa and I was very pleased about the result. Next time I will try and flavour it with other blends of herbs. Why don’t you try it out too?
