[Sca-cooks] Special diet friendly sweets - the results

[Susanne Mayer]

Hello, just now clearing up my backlog. I have been on vacation in Apulia, Italy and just a small detail to beet tops:

They are still used down there as vegetable, just sauteed in olive oil and mixed with noodles, we had that as a primi piati in one of the hotels.

btw Apulia is all Castellos, medieval village centers, Byzantine Romanesque or Romanesques churches and beautifull landscape, (well in between are some modern cities but almost all have retained their historic city centers as teh have been)

Regards
