February between doughs and ancient grains. I suggested alternatives to the usual dough for a practical, nourishing savoury pie, and wrote about jackfruit, the giant fruit that can surprisingly mimic the textures of animal products. Then millet: what it is, where it comes from and how to use it in plant-based dishes, since it is one of the oldest grains grown by humans. I closed with Carnival, its history as a suspended time, and a vegan version of the fritter.
The articles are in Italian.
