3 tips to make desserts like a pro
Today Chef Daniele Paralovo will give us a few tips to turn your desserts in high pastry creations, like real pros!
A perfect custard

Golden Cookies outside and soft inside
Secret is in the steam: put a drippin-pan at the bottom of the oven and pour on it a half glass of water. The steam will maintain the dough moist inside, while outside your cookies will be golden and crispy.
