Colazione a San Fruttuoso.
Quest’estate è capitato anche di andare a San Fruttuoso e fare una bella colazione con cappuccino, focaccia e la spighetta del borgo in sottofondo.
Colazione a San Fruttuoso
Genoese focaccia, a slice at the bar
Genoese focaccia, a slice at the bar.
Genoese focaccia is the quintessential Ligurian dish.
This photo was taken in the bar in front of my house where a nice cabaret of focaccia slices are ready to be “grabbed” and “dunked” in cappuccino.
The quintessential Ligurian breakfast and the best way to start a Saturday morning.

Focaccia, as I have already written in several posts, is the one with oil; very simple (even if you can find it in thousands of local variations: with olives, rosemary, tomatoes and so on and so forth) the one I like! And here I leave you my recipe.
It can be eaten for breakfast, as a “fast breaker” in the morning or as an aperitif-appetizer. It is traditionally accompanied with a small glass of white wine (or gianchetto in Ligurian). It is customary (not typically Genoese) to dip the focaccia in cappuccino or milk for breakfast.

Colazione a casa alla ligure.
Questa è la mia colazione preferita quando sono a casa: prima di tutto la focaccia all’olio (essendo difficile averla fresca va benissimo anche quella del giorno prima riscaldata nella macchinetta per toast, nel microonde rimane troppo molla); una bella tazza di caffè e latte (molto latte e poco caffè); sigaretta appena finito il caffe.
Un signore!
A little piece of focaccia? Great for breakfast
A little piece of focaccia? Great for breakfast.
As I have already said and written, there is no Genoese breakfast that does not include a little piece of focaccia all'olio.
I already have a nice photo (here) of the focaccia but when I saw this cabaret of focaccia at the bar I couldn't help but take a photo!

Qualche brioches alla crema pronte per la colazione
Qualche brioches alla crema pronte per la colazione.
C’è un modo più dolce che cominciare la giornata? Direi che una bella e buona brioche (cornetto all’italiana) alla crema pasticciera!

Nel 1797, con il trattato di Campoformio e successivamente con l’istituzione del Lombardo Veneto, il kipferl o cornetto, insieme ai krapfen e al gulasch, accrebbe ulteriormente la propria popolarità. L’arte di prepararli divenne patrimonio di maestri fornai veneti.

Frutta fresca tagliata
Una buona e sana colazione non può prescindere dalla frutta fresca (non fraintendetemi: non posto questa foto perché ho appena fatto colazione con questa frutta, io sono per le più classiche e sicuramente meno salutari uova e bacon). Qui un bell’esempio: kiwi, pompelmi, mele cotte e, non si vede bene ma ve le racconto ugualmente, pere cotte.

Gipfel: the typical Swiss savoury brioche
Gipfel: the typical Swiss savoury brioche
I have several Swiss foods that drive me crazy. One of them is definitely the typical Swiss savory croissant: the gipfel. I think it is salty because it is made with butter.
Gipfel, which are nothing more than butter croissants, are easily found in Italy too, even though the classic croissant here is sweet and not salty.
Doing some research I found several recipes but I found very little, in Italian, about the origin.

There are persistent folk tales that mistakenly attribute the origin and shape of the croissant to the celebration of the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the siege of Vienna in 1683 or the siege of Budapest in 1686. According to these stories, a baker who was working at night heard the sound of the Turks digging an underground tunnel. As a reward for saving the city, the baker received the exclusive right to produce crescent-shaped pastries to commemorate the event. However, there are no original contemporary sources to confirm any of these stories.
