At the end of 2010 I spent Xmas time in Paris with some friends : one evening I was invited for dinner at Antoinette's home and there I met Theresa : I can still remember the tarte she brought , the best "sbrisolona" I ever ate , luxury almonds melting in my mouth , I could hardly stop eating .The amazing thing is that this cake is a traditional recipe from Italy and Theresa comes frm USA. After a few months she wrote me and I invited her to come and see me in Provence . We had the chance there were beautiful,sunny days and we went looking for wild edible herbs: I showed her my " secret garden " in Gordes ( I never show it to anybody ) where we found "blettes" and so I told her about an ancient recipe of Nice I discovered on a book and how I was wishing to try it . Then we decided to cook together , but for this and for the recipe in english I'll send you here : Theresa writes much better than me ! Anyway we had so much fun cooking and shooting together , and the quinques were faboulous. If you happen to be in Paris and you have an interest in natural & vegetarian cooking and in discovering the city in a different way search for her site :she's a wonderful cook also !
