yeah, no, it s incredible. these lucky lemons are an ancient hybrid of bitter and sweet citrus fruits and the locals put them in everything they can. thank you. cheers. we head down to sal s shop on the shore where every year thousands of tourists take a break from the natural wonders of the coast to gasp at some man-made culinary marvels. beautiful!
the storm has passed. the natural order has been restored and it s another heavenly day here on the amalfi coast. i ve traveled along to the little town of minori known for one of the most beloved desserts in italy, a blast of southern sunshine in a creamy light cake. it s called delizia al limone, or lemon delight, and to make it, you need to head for the hills. yes, incredible. up in the lemon groves above minori i m meeting the man who introduced the unique amalfi lemons to the dessert and became one of the most famous pastry chefs in italy as a result, sal de riso.
at a time when italian desserts were dominated by northern and french creations, sal put the south of italy firmly on the map by capturing the essence of this place in one particular cake, lemon delight. so, we know where the lemons come from but how do you get the delight? oh jesus, alright. of course! cream. three creams, in fact. and for good measure, you fill the cake with cream. you just stick it right in. and when the creams are mixed you add more cream. and more cream. and more cream.
