Matteo’s places
Design
The train, the bars and workshops in Milan. I am also fond of Verger, it is a very nordic place where you don’t feel like you’re in Milan. But also pastry shops!
Pastry shops
Panzera in Milan: there is a pastry with a blackberry inside a chocolate basket and mousse.
Poggiana in Vicenza: there is a very similar pastry but it contains blueberry jam and it has a pastry basket.
Fuku
Even the Japanese who live in Milan do not know where to find them! At Kathay in via Rosmini, i recommend the frozen fuku version.
The recipe:
Boil some white rice in salted water, drain the white rice and let it rest for a few minutes, meanwhile toast the black rice in a pan with a little oil, add some water until it is cooked. Mix white and black rice and make some small balls with your hands. Cover with slices of smoked salmon.
Drink:
Soften some tapioca for a few hours. Prepare some hot tea and put some spoons of tapioca in ice tea. drink with a straw.
Matteo Cibic for PICNICING
Cristiano and I created some spherical food to be eaten on a stick. The interesting thing is that you have a take away product you can eat it in open spaces, it has a dual crunchy pattern outside and a soft one inside. These are rice mozzarella and tomato fried arancini, but they can also be steamed or baked, a meatball served with sweet and sour sauce. All these balls have an aluminium support so you can easily eat them as if they were lollipops
