Sorry to burst your bubble, but German chocolate c

Sorry to burst your bubble, but German chocolate cake is actually from Texas!

It's named after Sam German, a man who invented a mild, dark baking chocolate. The first published recipe of German chocolate cake showed up in a Dallas newspaper in 1957 from a Texas homemaker.

The joy of holding Fresh Pasta, seriously the best moments ever.
“Holding fresh pasta is like holding a new born baby , its so fresh, beautiful and so delicate”

Best thing ever

Noodle 101 with Mamma Marzia: ORZO Orzo is actual

Noodle 101 with Mamma Marzia: ORZO

Orzo is actually the Italian word for “barley” and because of this, many people mistake this pasta shape for the actual grain. To add more confusion to mix, the pasta shape resembles large grains of rice, which also looks a bit similar to barley grains. This is probably why (perhaps to lessen some of the confusion) this pasta shape also goes by another name, which is risoni, meaning “big rice” in Italian.

Orzo pasta is not typical to a specific Italian region and is most often used for salads, soups, and baked casseroles. One of the popular Italian dishes you may find orzo in is minestrone.

Check out my cookbook (link in bio) for all sorts of delicious classic Italian recipes to try with your family!

How do you enjoy orzo? 🍝

Though using spun sugar has been around for centuries, William Morrison, a dentist from Tennessee, is credited with inventing the first cotton candy machine.

He partnered with his friend John C. Wharton, who worked as a confectioner, to create a machine that made this delicious "Fairy Floss."

Their cotton candy was first introduced in 1904 at the St. Louis World's Fair, which lasted seven months! Sure enough, it was a hit. The men sold a whopping 65,655 boxes, priced at just 25 cents a box.

Noodle 101 with Mamma Marzia: TROCCOLI A pasta ty

Noodle 101 with Mamma Marzia: TROCCOLI

A pasta typical of the Apulia and Basilicata regions, troccoli is a type of string pasta like spaghetti. However, its cross-section is shaped either like an oval or square, like spaghetti alla chitarra. In fact, it has often been compared to spaghetti alla chitarra. This is not only because of its shape, but also because of the tool used to make them.

Troccoli is made using a striated rolling pin called a troccolo or a troccolaturo. Spaghetti alla chitarra, on the other hand, is made using a special wooden board with strings called a chitarra. However, since the square troccoli pasta looks pretty much like spaghetti alla chitarra, you can probably use either tools to make either of the two pastas. Just remember that if you’re in Abruzzo, it’s spaghetti alla chitarra, but if you’re in Apulia or Basilicata, it’s troccoli.

Have you ever had troccoli noodles before? 🍝

If you don’t like anchiovies just don’t put it in.
Simply delicious 🤤

In Germany, scientist Dan Frost conducted an experiment attempting to simulate the conditions found in the Earth's lower mantle.

While studying these conditions, Frost encountered a way to manufacture diamonds.

Diamonds are made when carbon atoms are under high temperatures and high pressure. Peanut butter contains quite a bit of carbon, so when it is under the right conditions, it can form diamonds.

The process is slow and messy, but it can be done!
