little story about petit fours


To continue on the community oven's path
PETIT FOURS
means little ovens
at the time when there were only a community oven
for a all village,
people where cooking smaller pieces once the oven
was cooling down.
Temperature less hot, the small pieces were cooking
evenly and perfectly
In our days
exixt petit fours sales (salted)
petit fours sucre (sweet)
selections and  qualities are fantastic
Specially in Italy and France


another italian dinner when you dont want to cook for dinner


That is called TORCETTO
It is a specialty from where I from :Piemonte
Before that everyone had a stove or an oven people were cooking the bread in the community ovens.
Torcetti wre created with the bread dough, rolled in the honey or a lot of sugar and than cooked at the front of the oven and that give away to the childre while waiting their parents cooking the bread loaf.
At Rivarolo Canavese, where my aunt leave you ca buy them in big size and that is what you can eat with a caffe latte some night if lazy to cook
