How To Make ALMOND COOKIES Like a Pastry Chef | A Sicilian Tradition

Күн бұрын

Almond biscuits are traditional to the Southern region of Sicily and they are often decorated beautifully and served on platters for special occasions.
This particular recipe is rich with history, dating back more than 80 years and was brought to Australia by Italian immigrant and renowned pastry-chef, Giorgio - now 94 years old. These almond biscuits are sold by Brunetti Classico in Melbourne and are one of their most popular delicacies.
Aside from their irresistible almond flavour, their unique quality is the delicate crunch on the outside and soft centre. Once you add a flaked almond or a small dollop of your favourite jam, you will find it hard to resist making these on repeat. Plus, they’re gluten free!

How amazing to see a 94 year old guy making my favorite cookies!!!! And thank you so much Kenny for your wonderful instructions and friendliness and for helping keep our traditional food alive!! This is so important...nobody can ever get enough of those cookies and omg the cannoli look amazing too! I wish i didn't live so far away (Quebec!)..but I just made them and they were fab except they needed longer in the oven but I think it's because i didn't pinch them enough so they were a bit too thick in the inside to cook a bit better...my bad but hey... live and learn! I learned a lot from this video to take into all my future amaretti and ricciarelli making and yours look so amazing i will remember this video foreverrrrr! GRAZIE VINCENZO, GIORGIO AND KENNYYYY! XOXOXO

Italian cuisine - so simple, yet delicious. What I love the most about the process of cooking italian dishes is the explanation why some recipes are done in a particular way, which makes it easy to follow if you try to recreate it at home.

@aris1956 7 ай бұрын

But I wouldn't say….”so simple, yet delicious”. Instead, I would say that just because our Italian cuisine is simple, it is so good ! Complicated and very elaborate dishes is not that they are automatically special and delicious dishes. It is often just the opposite, as our Italian cuisine shows us. Where it is enough to simply take two ingredients (just to give an example "spaghetti aglio e olio") to get an exquisite dish. The motto of Italian cuisine is precisely.... “less is more” ! Which is exactly the opposite of, for example, American cuisine, where instead they think that only “more is more” ! Filling then the plates with a lot of ingredients.

@carlososic4783 7 ай бұрын

ive been making these biscuits for a few years now. There are many recipes out there, I found that they all vary with ratio between sugar and almond meal. I think adding citrus zest improves the taste and brings it up next level. This video introduced cinnamon and some honey. This is fantastic. i had to try this combination. I did make a batch and only used sprinkle of cinnamon and half teaspoon honey, it definately makes a difference. i would use a little so not to overpower the flavor of the biscuits. I even tried it with jam filling and they came out very good, They are my favourite biscuits. Something so simple can be this good. thanks for the videos. BTW i added more almond meal to get the right consistancy.

I got the same recipe from my mother (she can make them exactly like that, they are really beautiful... I can make them, but mine are a lot more simple shape... I'm not really good with shapes). They are amazing and a big plus is that after all the carbonara, gelato, panettone that need only yolk with these we can finally use egg whites.

@hansdampf4055 7 ай бұрын

Vincenzo - you have to be very strong now! "Guanciale, egg, pepper and pecorino. These are the cornerstones of a good carbonara. At least that's the case so far. Luca Cesari, a food historian from Bologna, believes that the classic of Italian cuisine has not been implemented correctly. In a video he uploaded to his Instagram channel, he presents the alleged original version of the carbonara. According to this, garlic, bacon, beaten eggs and Swiss cheese belong in the sauce - and Gruyère. "I simply recreated the carbonara from 1954, which was the first to be published in the magazine 'Cucina Italiana'. It's not my fault if this was the carbonara recipe," the Italian told Reuters. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@gabriellabaka 7 ай бұрын

Vincenzo, I have a question for you! I have made Maria's almond biscuits from your channel and twice I made them with icing sugar instead of caster sugar and they became very hard - almost inedible! I thought it was because of the starch in the icing sugar. My question is: How come these biscuits did not become hard in spite of the fact that they were made with icing sugar. Was the sugar used in THIS video real icing sugar or just finely ground normal sugar without starch? I am asking because I don't want to experiment again. Thank you for your answer in advance.
