Tips to prepare Basil Pesto
1) Wash and dry basil leaves
2) Load the mixing tool or a mixer with basil leaves, garlic (a small slice or more), salt (two pinches or more), 1 spoon of pine seeds (or more, according to your taste), olive oil (extra-virgin olive oil, not other kind), and cheese. I recommend Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino (sheep's milk cheese) or a mix of both (70 % Parmesan and 30 % Pecorino)
3) Mix everything with short mixer work (about 1 minute and half, not to burn the leaves)
4) Dump everything in a bowl. Add carefully some more olive oil to make your sauce fluid, smooth. Taste it and add salt if it is necessary.
Add sauce to your hot spaghetti and enjoy it!

According to the original recipe you should work basil leaves and the other ingredients in a mortar and not in a mixer. Doing it in a mixer is a fast way to make it.
So I express my excuses to the people of Liguria and Genova who are the keepers of this food tradition.

Tips to prepare Mashed Potatoes
1) Peel potatoes
2) Put peeled potatoes in cold salted water. Turn on fire and take water to the boiling point. Potatoes will cook within 20 minutes and you will be sure that they are cooked when a knife can pass through them.
3) While potatoes are cooking, put a pot on fire with milk and boil it. When milk is boiling take it away from fire and let it rest.
4) When potatoes are ready, strain and then mash them with the proper tool.
5) Add a knob of butter or more (do it according to your taste), some hot milk (not too much at the beginning) and start to mix.
6) Add some grated Parmesan Cheese (do it according to your taste) and mix. Step by step add the milk to mix it easier
7) Add some salt (do it according to your taste) and mix
8) Add some more milk if you want your mashed potatoes more smooth
Enjoy it with roast, ham or with anything you like!

Tips to prepare a good Tiramisu
1) Prepare coffee (200 ml), pour it in a plate, add 1 spoon of sugar and mix coffee and sugar with a spoon.
2) Take a bowl, add 6 spoons of sugar (100 gr). Separate red and white of 3 eggs. Add the red parts to the sugar in the bowl. Pour the white part (albumen) in another bowl, later you will beat egg whites stiff.
3) Take the bowl with the sugar and red of 3 eggs and work it with a whip or with a mixer as shown in video. Work on eggs until they change colour (from orange to a pale yellow) and double their volume. At this point add mascarpone (250 gr.), step by step and mix it with the egg cream very slowly.
4) Take the other bowl with the white of the eggs and beat them stiff.
5) Take the bowl with cream made of eggs, sugar and mascarpone and add 2 spoons of the white of the eggs stiff. Mix it gently with a whip and add then other 2 spoons of the white of the eggs stiff. Mix it and let it rest for 2 minutes.

7) Soak biscuits very fast in the coffee and do the first layer as seen in the video. Put cream on biscuits, covering them all and then dust it with the cocoa powder. First use a small quantity of bitter cocoa powder and then a large quantity of sweet cocoa powder.
8) Repeat point 7 for the second layer and your Tiramisu is ready
9) Cover your Tiramisu with an aluminium sheet
