Sacher Turi

Abstract
Sacher cake or "Sacher Torte" was created by eponymous nel1832 Franz Sacher, Austrian pastry chef at the court of Prince von Metternich Winnesburg, who invented just 16 years one of the world's most famous cakes. The secrets are jealously guarded Sacher cake from the pastry shop of the Hotel Sacher in Vienna, which produces handmade over 270,000 units per year. It consists of a chocolate sponge cake that is stuffed with a thin layer of apricot jam and coated surface by a layer of dark chocolate. The Sacher torte is served at a temperature of 16-18 degrees, served with unsweetened whipped cream and a cup of coffee or tea. The " Sacher Turi "is not an imitation of the" Sacher Torte "but an evolution. Here are the quantities of raw materials and operating procedures necessary to be able to prepare without any difficulty.

Ingredients needed ( Photo No. 1)
a) sponge

  1. No. 5 eggs
  2. 300 g Sugar
  3. 75 g Frumina
  4. 75 g flour 00
  5. 50 g Cocoa powder
  6. 1 packet of yeast "Bread of Angels"
  7. 50 g butter
b) & Filling Finishing
  1. Cream 1 liter
  2. 50 g Cocoa powder
  3. icing sugar to taste
  4. dark chocolate taste
  5. Candied Fruit qb

Break the eggs, separating whites from yolks. In a bowl large enough to put an egg and add to them half teaspoon of salt with a mixer mounted until the mass is obtained by adhering to the blades. Then, add the egg yolks (Photo n ° 2) and mixed with egg whites.

Add sugar and stir for a long time until it is completely dissolved. To verify that this was done, dip the tip of a finger in the ground and rubbing with the finger to another finger should not be feel the presence of sugar crystals.
At this point, add the yeast that, until the mass is not very viscous, it dissolves very well. Add, little by little, stirring the flour and frumina, stir together previously and finally, in small doses, cocoa (Photo No. 3). After homogenized very well cocoa, put 50 g of butter, the recipe in a small saucepan over medium heat and melt them. Pour the melted butter, stirring, preparation, and finished the addition, stir for a long time until it's seen more streaks of grease on the surface.

Butter a baking pan, preferably aluminum which conducts heat well, and after he had sprinkled flour and have shaken the excess, pour in the mixture (Photo n ° 4) .


Preheat oven to adjust the intensity of the flame temperature of 225 ° C. Introduce the pan and check the progress of cooking as follows: when the mass firing was inflated to its maximum expansion, it forms a perfect dome. Shake the oven without opening it. If cooking is not yet complete, we can see that the top of the dome vibrates. When it does not vibrate more, turn the oven off and leave in the pan for 15 minutes.

Remove the pan from the oven (Photo No. 5) and let it cool, but not completely. The temperature of the pan, for a good mold of sponge cake without flaws, must be higher than the melting point of butter which has been preparing the release agent. Invert the pan, and shake the sponge is removed automatically (Picture No. 6).

When the sponge is well cooled, take back the clean glass bowl and put in the cream. With the mixer whip the cream following a few tips: the cream must be very cold and stop to mount only when it remains attached to the blades of the mixer (Photo No. 7) .

Add a spoon, the icing sugar. Mix and adjust the quantity initially in an approximate way. Gradually add cocoa, mix powdered sugar again and finally, adjusting the amount to add according to taste.

With a very sharp knife and big enough, cut the sponge cake, from the bottom, so you get three discs (Photo No. 8). To do this, easily, to rotate on the same sponge. Better if this happens with a rotating base on which to place the sponge.

Take a pie plate, put on the " tortenring " and inserting the third disc of sponge cake (Picture No. 9), wet it with a liqueur , diluted and sweetened to taste and, done that, load half of the whipped cream (Photo No. 10).

Continue to alternate layers with sponge cake and cream, making sure to put the disc of sponge cake, which was the bottom of it, finally. Put in refrigerator for several hours so that the cake will harden well and that the parties are well interpenetrate each other. If time is available, the better for a whole night. Remove the " tortenring " and proceed to peel off the top of the cake with a small spatula. This may be due to having wet the top with a liquid (Photo No. 11).

After that, take a small pot and bring it within about 3 / 4 stick of dark chocolate and about 10 g of butter (Photo No. 12). Place the pot on the stove and heat slowly until its contents to get a creamy paste.

With a spatula, spread melted chocolate on the cake and spread evenly (Photo No. 13). The amount of chocolate to make depends on your taste. It 'best not to exceed, otherwise it is formed, above the cake, one layer too hard. Keep in mind that the cake, the presence of cream inside, is served at about 10 ° C.

for smoothing the surface of the cake, use the back of a long knife or metal spatula, after being slightly warmed on the fire. To decorate the cake, You can use canned cherries and other fruits which consistently guests, which is offered, discarded.

As 2009 is the year of "blacks" because Obama did not dedicate this cake? The cake is entirely black. Including the figurine.

Good Luck Obama!

Note: " tortenring " you can buy in one of the "Stores" or as Kaufof Hertie in Germany. In Italy is at the Metro, and sometimes even from Lidl.

Mix the ground, dry, knead with your hands. At the end add the eggs, four big if, if five small (Photo n ° 2).

Mix all ingredients well, until a homogeneous mass. Make a cut in the middle of the dough, you can calculate the amount needed to prepare a "Meatloaf" (Picture No. 3).

Spread half of the dough on a cutting board and put plastic over half of the filling (Photo No. 4).

Lift the edges of the blade with a large knife and start closing the meatloaf
(Photo No. 5).

E 'well, at this point, wet hands with water in a bowl placed near where you work. Wetting, thus, the outside of the meatloaf encourages the adhesive action of the bread crumbs. Eventually, you get an external weight so elastic as to allow the posting of the meatloaf platter (Photo No. 6).

Turquoise Saddles For Sale

jam Quinces

Today we speak of quince jam, also known as quince.
Needed:

  1. Quinces mature (Picture)

  2. Sugar

  3. Lemons .

Proceedings

If the fruits do not give off any odor of chemicals, which may have been used for storage, put the quinces to cook as they are, otherwise, proceed to peel ( elimination of peel). The latter is somewhat problematic because the fruits are very tough, so it is good at the time of purchase, the fruit and smell good in bad odor, the purchase. Wash the fruit before putting it in a pot big enough to hold about 8 large fruit. Add water to completely dominate the fruit and start cooking. Check the degree of progress of the firing, stabbing a fork in the fruits. When a fork penetrates easily, the cooking is done. Be careful not to be fooled by the stalk of fruits that is very hard even after cooking. Been cooked, remove the fruit and let it cool, but not completely. This measure should be taken because the fruits, after being separated from the core, must be passed with the mill in order to obtain a homogeneous pulp. If you have a mixer, it is best to mix the pieces of fruit with that equipment, so as to facilitate the operation described above. Obtained the pulp, weigh it and put it in a pot of suitable volume. Add 100 ml of lemon juice and bring the mass all'ebolliszione, stirring constantly. Other lemon juice (200 ml) should be ready to use it after cooking. At this early stage, we must try to eliminate as much water as possible to avoid having to cook, then the mixture for a long time. Adding to the mass of an equal weight of sugar, adjusting the flame at first slowly and then to be increased. During the cooking operation, do not stop stirring because there is a danger of a mass of browning on the bottom of the pot. As soon as the fruit mixture begins to boil, wait 5-10 minutes, take a sample, cool it quickly and observe their consistency. If it is fairly viscous and extinguish the fire. Now you are ready to pay the quince in the appropriate molds. If you do not have aluminum or terracotta tiles - the latter famous the Caltagirone, of which possess some dating back to the 800 - to use the cups for the fruit salad. Put in each mold, about 5 ml of lemon juice squeezed in above and then, with a ladle, colarvi boiling the quince. Put the panels to rest for 48 hours before throw, pulling, first with his fingers, the edges of jam into the center of the panel. As soon as the jam breaks away from the edges, put the tile upside down and drop the jam on the palm of your hand. Place the jam in a big pot, or on a tray, which was placed baking paper. Put the quince to air dry. The time required for drying depends on the latitude in which we work and the chance to put the jam in the open air to dry, preferably in the sun. In this case, be careful on drill wasps! In cold climates it is favored by home heating. If you have furniture high (greater than 2.5 meters) put the trays with jam on them to dry. At worst, pezzattura large enough, it takes about a couple of months to completely dry it, which is manifested by the appearance of a layer of sugar on its surface.

Caution: If there is was an error of assessment, the consistency of quince cooked, can cause mold problems in it. In this case, fear not. Put the quince in to dry the panels themselves. The mold can also be done several days later. Even after a month or more. Finally, protect, during cooking, hand and arm splash of jam that occur due to the boil. Taking into account that the temperarure the fruit mixture is well above 100 ° C. If you have done good, that's it!

Paying Ontario Tax On A Used Boat

65th Venice Film

Reflections Photography 24 hot
attend Exhibition of the Venice Film Festival since its rebirth, and that is from 1979 (Photo No. 1).

Photo # 1

At that time, was enough to be enrolled in a cultural club (I was writing at the Cine Club Venezia) in order to be accredited to the Festival. The Show-goers who were around at the Palazzo del Cinema was not more than one hundred. I still remember the press conferences that were held in the Great Hall, open to the public without formality, and with few people present. Leaving the Palazzo del Cinema, you could meet Alberto Sordi (Photo No. 2) or Bernardo Bertolucci (Photo n ° 3) that could be approached without any difficulty.


Photo # 2 Photo # 3

Over the years, the Festival has returned to its usual one: a film festival where you go for your product before being sold. But what is presented? A series of films selected by Festival Director Marco Muller and his associates. So, actually, is a special competition which involves only the films that appeal to recruiters. It would be logical, however, that the selectors were film critics in each country, invited to attend the show. And what have the stars in all this? They are like the quality stickers that are used to entice the purchase product. Each year the appearance of the Palazzo del Cinema (Photo No. 4) is renewed and, ultimately, the "look" is treated by the set designer Dante Ferretti, the Lions this year it was invented fleeing in her nightgown (Photo n 5).

Photo No. 4

Photo No. 5

you'll wonder why they flee. They flee because it was the first stone of the new movie palace (Photo No. 6), which will be called the "Rock".

Photo No. 6

Imagine a building shaped like a stone, dark gray, which will be compared with the old Palace Cinema which will be reported to the original style 30s "in the middle with the" ex-Palace Casino "style" empire. " The stars are thrown to the public at the time of presentation of the movie, then disappear into luxury hotels, inaccessible to ordinary mortals, such as De Bains or even inaccessible as the Hotel Cipriani (unless you go to swimming). And the famous terrace of the 'Excelsior Hotel? It is attended only by those who want to be seen. And so you can meet famous journalists such as Paul Honey and Carlo Rossella (Photo No. 7), RAI men and old players, ultra-seventies, as Jacques Sernas (Photo No. 8) who allow themselves to take pictures while pleased with each other they think: Oh! look! He recognized me!

Photo No. 7 Photo No. 8

Sometimes you can also meet some wonderful Actress, but it is a fairly rare event. Then there are those who do not want to be seen, such as film producers and managers of distribution companies, who once entered the Hall of Excelsior, disappeared inside the suite, on the first floor, where you have placed their headquarters. The atmosphere of the Terrace is not as simple as it seems at first sight. In it were obtained in areas off-limits that can be accessed only if equipped with a pass or an invitation. The best known of them is that a couple of years has been established as the "Lancia Café, where before it was called" Terrazza Martini. " It 'not only changed the name of the sponsor but also the quality and quantity of "beverages" offered. Sometimes, access to the Lancia Café "is also forbidden to pass holders, because they are going into it of exclusive interviews with actors. Then, there is little to be done. We must keep the thirst for a bit 'of time, unless you make up (beg) a bottle of water somewhere else inside the booth. With the powerful means of Tuscola Rino Film have succeeded again this year for the eighth consecutive time, to be accredited as a journalist at the Festival. This allowed me to gain access to all related activities: watching movies, access to the Hotel Excelsior and its beach, and press conferences with the prohibition, however, in the latter, you can take pictures or filming video, otherwise the withdrawal of credit. For power, therefore, take some pictures or do some filming had to mingle among the audience of film lovers. These

The walkway of the stars is the only public event that gives a little 'liveliness of the show. The remainder of the exhibition is a funeral not to be believed. The people you meet are like goggled. They, after seeing, on average, four to six films a day, after, for each of them, a queue of at least half an hour (Photo No. 13), passing from light to dark and from dark to light, do not understand whether it is day or night ....

Celebrities arrive at the Palazzo del Cinema, and to give themselves to the public, provided by car, this year, the sponsor Lancia. The cars are equipped with tinted glass, should not hide who knows what. They parade under the watchful eye of staff at the service of order (Photo No. 14) that are connected with a microphone and headset, with a private security operations center.

After waiting, pushing and anything else that might, in these cases happen, the only thing to do is hide the "Lancia Café" or some other party to cool ideas, the uvula, hoping to make some interesting meeting. Fortunately, with the same powerful tools, I managed to get hold of the pass necessary (Photo No. 18).

The Lancia Café "is generally not very clogged with people, except at times when there is a hint of power to put something in your teeth. And this happens every day, happy hour (Photo No. 19) or if there is an ongoing cocktail offered by someone (Photo No. 20).

When you have an inkling that there around some "party" to which access is necessary to arrive on time, perhaps with a few minutes in advance, otherwise there is the danger of staying in the cold.

will be the fact that at the Lido, near the Palazzo del Cinema, there is only one bar (apart from temporary stalls 2) or that the prices of what is offered in them is too high, or because something is free when people rushed en masse, the fact is that the result of my thinking is that the locusts are less voracious cinephiles. Going up and down disconsolate on the Lido in search of photographic scoop of the year, see who we meet in front of Hotel Excelsior: Valeria Marini (Photo No. 22).
