Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for a few minutes. Pour the cream, vanilla, and 130g of sugar into the Thermomix and cook for 6 minutes at 80°C, speed 4.

Then add the gelatin sheets (previously squeezed) and cook for 10 seconds, speed 4. Pour the mixture into individual molds (or, if preferred, glass jars) and refrigerate for at least 5 hours.

Proceed with the preparation of the berry sauce..

Add the blackberries, blueberries, currants, the remaining 120g of sugar, and the lemon juice and cook at 100°C, low speed, for 8-10 minutes. Make sure the sauce has reached the right consistency; then pour it into a bowl and refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap.

Having guests for dinner and want to impress with an easy and delicious main course? Meat rolls covered in pancetta are the ideal way to bring a tasty dish to the table in just a few minutes.

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 500 g ground beef
• 100 g Parmesan cheese
• 150 g breadcrumbs
• 15 slices of bacon
• 2 eggs
• Salt to taste
• Parsley to taste
• Garlic powder to taste

For the potato cream

• 500 g Potatoes
• 60 g Parmesan cheese
• 60 g Butter
• 1 tablespoon oil
• Parsley to taste
• Salt to taste
• 100 g Black summer truffle

Preparation

Pour the ground meat into a glass bowl, adding the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs vigorously, seasoning with salt, parsley, and garlic. Then pour them into the bowl with the ground meat and mix thoroughly until smooth. Then, shape them into oval-shaped meatballs, covering them with the pancetta. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 12 minutes.

To prepare the cream

Wash, peel, and boil the potatoes. Once they are cooked through, transfer them to a blender; add a tablespoon of oil, the Parmesan cheese, and the butter, and continue blending at medium speed until smooth. 

Then place the rolls on the cream, garnish with shavings of black summer truffle, and serve.

Ingredients (serves 2)

• 4 chicken legs
• 200 g cornflakes
• 2 Eggs
• 30 g Parmesan cheese
• Pepper to taste
• Salt to taste

Mayonnaise ingredients

• 1 Eggs
• 15 ml white wine vinegar
• 200 ml sunflower oil
• Salt to taste

Preparation

For frying the chicken thighs, we recommend using a shallow, round pan with a diameter between 20 and 40 cm.

Pour in plenty of seed oil and heat to 180°C (350°F) before frying.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, finely crush the cornflakes, using a meat tenderizer if necessary.

In another bowl, beat the eggs, adding the Parmesan cheese and salt until smooth. Coat the chicken thighs with the breadcrumbs and fry. Cook two chicken thighs at a time for about 15 minutes (to avoid lowering the oil temperature). To ensure even cooking on all sides, turn the thighs every 2 minutes.

For the mayonnaise, use an immersion blender. Pour all the ingredients into a tall shaker; position the blender blades on the bottom, turn it on high, and hold it there until the mayonnaise begins to foam. Then, blend carefully, using top-to-bottom motions, until the sauce is smooth and lump-free.

Pour the prepared mayonnaise into a small bowl, covering it with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days.

If you want to add a touch of excellence to your mayonnaise, add some fresh black summer truffle.
