This maritozzo is a classic Roman pastry — soft bun filled with whipped cream. I've been cleaning them for three and a half hours, but it's worth it. Tony puts the cocoa on top, and it's delicious. Everyone here is loving it, and I'm proud of how it turned out.

Crema di Ceci e Cicoria Ripassata
I made a chickpea cream with sautéed chicory. It's a classic Roman dish — balanced, with the lemon cutting through the richness. The chicory is not too bitter, and the cream is smooth. It's a very balanced plate, and I love it.
