Bianco mangiare of the Dutchess
The Dutchess Matilde was simple in her habits but refined by education. Tales were recounted over and over again about the exquisite grandeur of her banquettes. This dish, which came perhaps from the Orient, was written about even at the time of the Great Countess Matilde: today, it can be served as a one-course meal, a main course or, in the meatless version, as a dessert.
