Eggs and Asparagus

Wash the asparagus carefully and remove the “wooden” part of the stem. Divide and tie them (with a kitchen twine) in small bunches, put them in a high and narrow pot full of salted and boiling water (keep the tips outside the water so the steam can softly cook them).
Let them boil for 15 min and then remove them from the water and wrap them with a cloth.
Boil the eggs for 8 min, cool them off under water and shell them.
Put carefully a bunch of asparagus on each dish (without the kitchen twine) and two eggs.
By tradition, every dinner must smash the eggs with the fork and flavour them with some Extra Virgin Olive Oil, salt, black pepper and a drop of vinegar.

Linz Tart

Anyone engaging in a serious search for the true origin of the Linzer Torte soon finds him or herself travelling between Egypt, Verona and Milwaukee in the American state of Wisconsin. The oldest recorded tart recipe in the world which was written down by a countess in Verona is to be found today in the monastery library in Admont and even became popular in America during the mid-19th century. A cake-maker who moved to Linz in 1822 used the recipe to create the “Linzer Masse”, which was the basis for the grandiose Linz tart. Today it is the culinary emblem of the capital city of Upper Austria.

Speculoos

Speculoos is a type of shortcrust biscuit, traditionally baked for consumption on or just before St Nicholas’ feast (December 6th) in the Belgium, the Netherlands and Northern France. In recent decades it has become available all year round. Speculoos are thin, very crunchy, slightly browned and, most significantly, have some image or figure (often from the traditional stories about St. Nicholas) stamped on the front side before baking; the back is flat. The Lotus brand is one of the most popular. You can also find them covered in chocolate…a real Belgian treat!
