			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Regarding the origins of sponge cake, you go back in <strong>the mid 1700s</strong> when the <strong>Genoese cook Giobatta Cabona</strong>, sent to Spain in the wake of the Marquis and Ambasador Dominic Pallavicini, on the occasion of a banquet, <strong>presented a cake of incredible lightness</strong> that took the name of <em><strong>Sponge cake</strong></em> to honor the Spanish court.</p>
<p><strong>Ingredients:</strong></p>
<p><strong>75 gr</strong> of <strong>flour</strong><br />
<strong>1 pinch</strong> of <strong>salt</strong><br />
<strong>1 vanillin packet</strong><br />
<strong>150 gr</strong> of <strong>sugar</strong><br />
<strong>75 gr</strong> of <strong>potato starch</strong><br />
<strong>5 eggs</strong></p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 405px"><img title="Pan di Spagna" src="http://www.buttalapasta.it/img/pan-di-spagna.jpg" alt="Sponge cake" width="395" height="287" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sponge cake</p></div>
<p><strong>Preparation: </strong></p>
<p><strong>Put the eggs</strong>, <strong>sugar</strong> and a <strong>pinch of salt</strong> in a bowl and, with the help of a mixer, <strong>whip all for at least 15 minutes</strong>, always in the same direction, until you obtain a frothy and swollen mixture of yellow color.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.giallozafferano.it/images/ricette/pandispagna_1_ric.jpg" alt="" width="486" height="125" />Now <strong>add the flour and potato starch</strong> mixed together (if you want even the vanillin), <strong>pouring them</strong> into the mixture <strong>through a sieve</strong> to avoid to make lumps.<br />
<strong>Mix everything </strong>with a wooden spoon until mixture is smooth.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.giallozafferano.it/images/ricette/pandispagna_2_ric.jpg" alt="" width="486" height="125" /><strong>Grease a rounded baking pan with butter and flour </strong>and <strong>pour the mixture in the center of the mold</strong>.<br />
<strong>Preheat the oven to 180 degrees</strong> and <strong>bake </strong>your sponge cake <strong>for at least 35-40 minutes</strong> without ever opening the oven in the first half hour of cooking.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.giallozafferano.it/images/ricette/pandispagna_3_ric.jpg" alt="" width="486" height="125" /></p>
<p><strong>Passed the 40 minutes</strong>, <strong>pierce the center of the cake with a toothpick</strong>: if the dough will stick to the toothpick, then it means that the sponge is not yet cooked.<br />
<strong>Once cooked</strong>, <strong>let cool for 10 minutes</strong> <strong>in the oven off</strong> to avoid of deflating the cake.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Ingredients:</strong></p>
<p>500 gr. of Stockfish<br />
1 onion<br />
2 cloves of garlic<br />
1 bunch of parsley<br />
4 tomatoes<br />
4 potatoes<br />
50 gr. of pine nuts<br />

<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-300" title="stoccafisso" src="http://www.goingthroughitaly.com/wp-content/uploads/stoccafisso.bmp" alt="Stoccafisso alla Genovese" width="292" height="199" /></p>
<p><strong>Preparation</strong></p>
<p>The <strong>whole Stockfish</strong>, must be soaked for 4-6 days, changing the water once a day. For the codfish, which can be cut to pieces, are sufficient <strong>24-36 hours</strong>, on condition that water is often changed.</p>
<p>Take the stockfish and if it is a whole piece, put it in <strong>boiling water</strong> for several minutes so you can remove skin and fishbones. <strong>Peel</strong> and<strong> cut </strong>potatoes into large cubes. <strong>Fry lightly</strong> onion, garlic and parsley in extra virgin olive oil and then add stockfish and tomatoes cut to pieces, two tablespoons of tomato sauce, olives and finally pine nuts.</p>
<p><strong>Cook </strong>on moderate heat for 20 minutes by adding, if necessary, a little of water. At this point <strong>salt</strong>, <strong>add</strong> potatoes and <strong>cook</strong> for another 15 minutes with the lid. At the end you can <strong>garnish</strong> with chopped parsley.</p>
