I love Italy by Giovanna Enjoy cooking, enjoy eating, enjoy life! Godere cucinando, godere mangiando, godersi vivere!

嗯! 大學讀了義大利文系, 工作後進義大利辦事處, 出社會後交了義大利男友, 現在就這麼陰錯陽差的嫁到義大利來了. 我的生活周圍除了義大利還是義大利. 這個國家有太多吸引人的地方了, 他的藝術,建築, 時尚, 著名電影的場景..... 而我, 卻愛上義大利的美食! 這個講究"吃"的國家,食物占了他們生活中很重要的一個部分.

以前住在台北時, 總覺得時間不夠用, 上班時間占據了大部分的時間, 下班後更別提想自己動手做菜, 在路邊攤快速解決就好了 , 剛搬到義大利來時, 人生地不熟, 到哪都不太習慣, 有一陣子, 開始習慣一個人關在家裡. 偶然間買了一本料理雜誌, 開始從一顆星的菜做起. 我才發現原來做菜可以這麼有趣. 我開始養成寫筆記的習慣, 看到看起來好吃的食譜,一定會抄下來自己做一次,或是在朋友家作客吃到好吃的, 就一定要記起來回家依樣畫葫蘆一下. 這個習慣就這樣重複了六年. 我的筆

記本也多到四五本了,且持續增加中. 雖然現在工作很忙碌, 在廚房裡做菜還真的能舒壓呢!

常常我的朋友會跟我要食譜, 既然facebook上有一個這樣的功能, 我決定跟大家分享我做義大利菜的心得, 也希望各位也可以跟我分享你們的. 祝大家都可以開心的享用自己準備的義大利菜!

做出一個完美的潘那朵尼除了考驗麵包師/甜點師的技術經驗之外,他的靈魂就是天然酵母以及麵粉,能夠一直擁有一個健康的酵母 他需要持續的有無添加的天然麵粉餵養,一個好吃的潘那朵尼,需要有一個可以持續攪拌,注入大量的奶油、糖、蛋黃還能夠保留麵糰鬆軟以及彈性,更重要的是麵粉本身的麥香。
這隻一同與molino colombo研發的潘那朵尼麵粉OPERA, 承襲了麵粉廠低溫慢磨的24道研磨功法,讓Opera保留了完整小麥香氣。精準的選擇小麥品種,完全不需要添加額外添加劑輔助,這是一隻可以從養酵母直到做出潘那朵尼ㄧ包到底的麵粉。
我早已愛上OPERA,喜歡天然酵母發酵的朋友絕對要試試。
全球上市中!
Creating the perfect Panettone is not only a test of a baker’s or pastry chef’s technique and experience — its true soul lies in the pasta madre and the flour.

Keeping a pasta madre healthy requires constant feeding with pure, additive-free flour. And a truly exceptional Panettone needs a flour strong enough to withstand long mixing and large amounts of butter, sugar, and egg yolks, while still preserving a soft, elastic crumb and, most importantly, the natural aroma of wheat itself.

Developed together with Molino Colombo, the Panettone flour OPERA carries on the mill’s signature 24-step low-temperature milling process, preserving the full fragrance and flavor of the wheat. Carefully selected wheat varieties make it possible to achieve outstanding results without any additional improvers or additives.

OPERA is truly an all-in-one flour — from nurturing your pasta madre to baking the final Panettone.

I’ve completely fallen in love with OPERA. If you love naturally leavened baking, this is a flour you absolutely have to try.

Now launching worldwide!

第一次拉丁美洲初體驗!
從來沒想過會來中南美洲工作,當我年初接到這個邀約時還以為是詐騙集團,怎麼可能厄瓜多有人想學潘那朵尼。我的學生為了證明他不是詐騙,還特別跟我視訊,讓我看他真的有開麵包店,雖然這幾個月的溝通我們都靠著翻譯軟體,但他保證我到厄瓜多時一定會有一位義大利文-西班牙文的翻譯隨行。
從我來的第一天,我就受到很暖心的對待,學生每天開防彈車接送我(他說讓我安心用,被他嚇死😅)
最常跟我說的話就是mucho gusto, mucho feliz. 不管我教學多嚴肅,他總是微笑告訴我他很高興我教導他。厄瓜多不容易找到義大利的食材,他還要坐飛機去載回來,但厄瓜多有很棒的巧克力!這次直接跟le republica del caocao總部的人認識,他們特別提供給我們很多種巧克力,讓我們可以試風味。我的學生即將要代表厄瓜多去比世界盃的潘那朵尼比賽,翻譯Miguel是個虔誠的教徒,他特別幫我的學生祈禱,也順便為我祈禱,祈求我在自己的人生道路上不迷失方向。
我在厄瓜多還會待幾天,但光現在我就已經感受到當我離開時,我會想念這裡的一切!
My first experience in Latin America! ✨

I never imagined I would come to Central and South America for work. When I first received this invitation earlier this year, I honestly thought it was a scam. How could someone in Ecuador possibly want to learn panettone from me? To prove he was real, my student even video-called me and showed me his bakery. For the past few months, we’ve communicated entirely through translation apps, but he promised that once I arrived in Ecuador, there would be an Italian–Spanish interpreter accompanying us.

From the very first day here, I’ve been welcomed with so much warmth and kindness. Every day, my student picks me up in a bulletproof car (he said it was to make me feel safe… which honestly scared me even more 😅).

The phrases I hear most often are “mucho gusto” and “mucho feliz.” No matter how serious my teaching gets, he always smiles and tells me how happy he is to learn from me.

It’s not easy to find Italian ingredients in Ecuador, and sometimes he even has to fly somewhere else just to bring them back. But Ecuador has incredible chocolate! During this trip, I also had the chance to meet the team from Le República del Cacao, who generously provided us with many different chocolates so we could explore and taste their unique flavors.

My student will soon represent Ecuador in the Panettone World Championship. Our interpreter, Miguel, is a deeply faithful person. He prayed not only for my student, but also for me — hoping that I will never lose my direction in life’s journey.

I’ll still be in Ecuador for a few more days, but even now, I already know that when it’s time to leave, I’ll miss everything about this place so much. 💛

這一天我等了好久! 我與義大利麵粉廠Molino Colombo一起研發的「完全無添加」潘那朵尼專用粉終於在5/11日於義大利米蘭的食品重要展會tutto food上舉辦了全球上市發表會。
非常謝謝當天有非常多位義大利當地重要媒體出席,italia gourmet, pasticceria internazionale, dolceesalato, italia a tavola,很謝謝麵粉廠對這次麵粉上市的重要性,畢竟這是一支可以從續養酵母開始到可以完美做出潘那朵尼、潘多羅以及歐式麵包的乾淨麵粉。 據我了解,麵粉除了第一個在台灣販售之外已經在美國、西班牙、法國、新加坡、香港開始販售,希望很快的可以在全世界都看得到這支麵粉的蹤影。相信我,只要用過的人就回不去了!

I’ve been waiting for this day for so long!
The “completely additive-free” Panettone flour that I co-developed with Molino Colombo was officially launched globally on May 11 at the important food exhibition TuttoFood in Milan.

A huge thank you to all the major Italian media outlets that attended the launch, including Italia Gourmet, Pasticceria Internazionale, Dolce e Salato, and Italia a Tavola. I’m truly grateful for how much importance the flour mill placed on this launch, because this flour is something special — a clean-label flour that can support everything from sourdough starter maintenance to producing perfect Panettone, Pandoro, and rustic breads.

As far as I know, besides being first launched in Taiwan, the flour is already available in the United States, Spain, France, Singapore, and Hong Kong. I hope it won’t be long before this flour can be found all around the world.

Trust me — once you use it, there’s no going back.

麵粉的品質從怎麼磨麵粉就已經決定了!這是我第一次看到一個麵粉廠犧牲量而只為了追求品質。
謝謝Molino Colombo! 因為你們的堅持我才能有這
個機會一起做出這款即將在全球發表的麵粉OPERA!
歡迎你們來參加發表會,時間5/12 11:00 Tutto Food 12館 展位B34

The quality of flour is determined from the very moment it’s milled.
This is the first time I’ve seen a flour mill willing to sacrifice production quantity in pursuit of quality.

Thank you, Molino Colombo.
Because of your dedication, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate on creating OPERA — a flour that will soon be launched worldwide on May 12 at 11:00 at Tutto Food! Come to see us at pavilion 12 stand B34

太開心跟大家分享這個好消息! 我與義大利麵粉廠Molino Colombo 共同研發的一款專門為潘那朵尼、潘多羅、續養天然酵母的完全無添加的麵粉,我一直在尋找一款有小麥天然香氣又同時擁有天然的筋性以及完美延展性的麵粉,很謝謝Molino Colombo願意接下這個重要的工作。沒有一個在意品質的麵粉廠,我們不可能做出”OPERA” !
如果你們剛好5月11-14會來米蘭參加Tutto food的食品展,歡迎你們在5/12 11:00 來參加OPERA的發表會!
See you soon !

I’m so happy and excited to finally share this wonderful news with everyone!

Together with Molino Colombo, we have developed a completely additive-free flour specially created for Panettone, Pandoro, and natural sourdough refreshments

For a very long time, I have been searching for a flour that could offer both the natural aroma of wheat, as well as naturally strong gluten structure and perfect extensibility. I’m truly grateful that Molino Colombo was willing to take on this important project with me.

Without a flour mill that genuinely cares about quality, “OPERA” would never have been possible.

If you’ll be in Milan for TuttoFood from May 11–14, we warmly invite you to join the official launch presentation of OPERA on May 12 at 11:00 AM.

See you soon!

3月初我與隊友Esther I Lai首次在南港Amber手作同台上課, 除了我對大家示範這次得到世界冠軍的兩款潘那朵尼,傳統米蘭以及巧克力口味之外,Lai也是第一次對外公開他得到個人尺寸小蛋糕世界冠軍的作品vaso fiorito 古董花瓶的完整製作過程。這個需要有7個層次堆疊的甜點真的很值得學習。
3天的課程精實的學習到三個世界冠軍作品。
大家還想上這堂課嗎?請繼續關注下堂課的資訊!

At the beginning of March, my teammate Esther I Lai and I had the opportunity to teach together for the first time at Amber Handmade in Nangang.

During the class, I demonstrated the two Panettone recipes that won the world championship this time — the traditional Milanese and the chocolate version. Meanwhile, Lai also publicly shared, for the very first time, the full process behind her world champion-winning mono portion “Vaso Fiorito “ (Antique Flower Vase).

This stunning dessert, built with 7 intricate layers, is truly something worth learning.

Over these 3 intensive days, participants gained hands-on experience with three world champion-winning items

Would you be interested in joining this class? Stay tuned for updates on the next session!

4月初我去了一趟新加坡,受classic fine food的邀請,示範了此次在世界盃聖誕麵包大賽得到冠軍的兩個品項傳統米蘭以及巧克力口味潘那朵尼,另外也做了創意的兩款分別是地中海鹹口味、栗子焦糖巧克力口味。
主辦方是一間非常專業的食材進口商,在這裡上課完全不用擔心找不到好食材,這也是我第一次使用Weiss的巧克力跟casiglia 的栗子,我們幾乎把巧克力都試過一輪來選擇想使用的巧克力種類。
這也是我第一次全英文教學,學生來自法國、西班牙、新加坡、印度、馬來西亞的五星級飯店甜點主廚以及知名麵包店的主廚。 很高興能夠完整呈現每個作品。 最要感謝的是我的學生Karen ,她是我的新加坡超級幫手!還有Jose ,非常專業的pastry chef.
我們明年見!

At the beginning of April, I traveled to Singapore at the invitation of Classic Fine Foods, where I demonstrated the two Panettone that won the panettone World Championship: the traditional Milanese and the chocolate version. I also presented two creative flavors — a savory Mediterranean version and a chestnut caramel chocolate Panettone.

The organizer is an extremely professional ingredient importer, and teaching there meant never having to worry about sourcing top-quality ingredients. It was also my first time working with Weiss chocolate and Casiglia chestnuts. We practically tasted our way through the entire chocolate range to select the perfect ones for our creations.

This was also my first time teaching entirely in English. The students came from France, Spain, Singapore, India, and Malaysia — all executive pastry chefs from five-star hotels and renowned bakeries. I’m truly happy I was able to fully present each creation.

Special thanks to my student Karen (), my amazing support in Singapore, and Jose (), an incredibly professional pastry chef.

See you all again next year!
