Mille-feuille of potato
Ok ok, you did not come true as it should be and I also had to call it by another name for the original of chamomile , but then I said, even with this flat shape, still 1000foglie of potatoes is also because it took me forever to cut the potatoes into thin slices thin and I really believe that it touched the 1000 and then the error should not have been in the number of 'leaves' but only in the choice of the pan that had to be much smaller! ! (^ _ -) Anyway, apart from these useless excuses for having fake recipe for chamomile, I must admit that even in the kitchen, looks can be deceiving, and in fact what was to be the flop of the night (it's still one of the dishes prepared for dinner with friends that I mentioned in post below) has become SUCCESS: It was appreciated and enjoyed by all so that at the time of the encore, because there was no more, Gianluca has sacrificed a piece of ... his AHAhHAhHAh!

Zucchini roulade
Indecision whether or not to publish this simple appetizer in the end ... Guess? I've posted! (^ _ -) I hope I do not want to picture quality, but as I said in previous post that night taken by the heat of cooking and taking pictures I must have confused the camera for a few precious ingredient and I handled it repeatedly with the greasy and oily hands, dirtying the lens! Sorry! Anyway I could not offer this appetizer that, like the girelline below, are ideal for those who must act in advance, beginning to prepare something the night before, but who still want to taste and delicacies. The idea of this is finger food Misy , which not only has photographed all the steps to prepare, but he also took pictures of this one much more decent that I felt to be published. Misy Thanks!
