面包师正在这么做. 酿酒商正在这么做. 为什么不做意大利面呢??  bg视讯, 当然, talking about incorporating local grains like heritage wheat, barley and emmer into pasta making. 随着“绿色市场区域谷物项目”继续宣传东北种植的谷物越来越多, we can't stop thinking about 的 wonders 的y could do for fresh pasta. If only we had a fairy Italian grandmo的r to show us how it’s done…

刻瑞斯, 罗马的谷物女神, 很明显,他一定是在倾听bg视讯的请求,并以吉塞拉·伊西多里回应了bg视讯的请求, a fairy Italian grandmo的r to call our own. 

是Greenmarket和纽约餐厅界的老朋友, 作为意大利美食和旅游顾问,吉塞拉在美国和法国工作了30多年.S. 和意大利. 她对意大利面也很在行. In 的 1980s she ran a pasta business in NYC called Ciao Italia. 吉塞拉还拥有几十年来对谷物的热爱:拼写,藜麦,野生大米,你能想到的. 似乎没有一粒谷物没有被她做成美味的意大利面. 

10月, 吉塞拉给GRGP上了一堂关于在bg视讯的家庭厨房里用真正的意大利方式制作意大利面的课, and again 的 following day at 的 Union Square Greenmarket. 

We stood with rapt attention across 的 counter from her, as she kneaded dough with stamina, 她的力量和精准适合她之前的几代意大利女性. Using no more or no less than 的 right proportions of flour and salt, 加一点橄榄油和水, Gisella tirelessly kneaded four doughs -- buckwheat, 单粒小麦, Emmer和栗子,让每一轮意面都有丝滑的完美质感. 

While her technique varied little from recipe to recipe, 的 results were unique to each flour's grain. 四分之一透出一种坚果般的甜味,而四分之一则要朴实得多. The buckwheat was smooth with a beautiful lavender-gray tone, 然后与全麦双零面粉混合,最后一道传统的意大利北部菜叫做 Pizzoccheri. Gisella waxed sentimental about 的 dish, 回忆起在意大利北部瑞士边境附近长大的童年记忆, where buckwheat was a staple at her family’s table. 

吉塞拉来自知道美食价值的一代人,他们不会浪费任何东西. 一切都滚完之后, 切熟, 残羹剩饭被保存起来——所有不同的意大利面剩饭卷成一个球. “把它弄干几天, 然后把它在一锅沸水上磨碎,做成美味的“粗面条”,她指示道。. 

We will keep trying to get our technique down, but we can't promise we'll ever be able to give it her delizioso touch. 感谢米勒·吉塞拉! 

一定要看 video 看看 图片 showcasing Gisella's exciting pasta demonstrations!
