I simply adore anything baked by Emilia Strazzanti and her Sicilian pistachio cake is one of my favourites from her collection. Now you can cook Emilia’s most loved signature dishes at home with her recipe parcels “Il Piccolo Pacchetto”, a culinary discovery of Sicily in a little parcel delivered directly to your door. Included in this parcel is the secret Strazzanti Sicilian nut flour blend used in the Sicilian Bakery and my favourite Sicilian Pistachio cream made with 60% Sicilian pistachios. There are also crushed pistachios, freeze dried raspberries and the Strazzanti logo disk to help your cake look as close to the original as possible.
Along with the package comes a recipe card and Emilia’s personal tips. I’m a fairly experienced home baker and the recipe was clear to understand with helpful guidance along the way. The result was surprisingly a cake that looked almost identical to Emilia’s. The Sicilian pistachio used in her cakes is one of the finest varieties in the world harvested on the east coast of Sicily and you can taste the difference. This recipe parcel is a perfect way to bake a cake for family or a special occasion when you don’t have the time or experience to bake one from scratch.
