Cooking to overcome (III) – Tiramisú
Since confinement began in our homes, we have seen an incredible growth of live streams about food, families spending hours cooking or just people who have been encouraged to learn to cook. This makes us really happy, because moreover, the kitchen serves as social assistance.
We wanted to contribute our grain of sand, broadcasting every week, gastronomic live streams with our chef Alberto Ferruz and other members of our team. The protagonist of this third part is sweetness, where our pastry chef Laura García prepares a classic:
