Could there be a better way to end a good meal?

Fresh fruit in the covered market of La Boqueria in Barcelona.
Dragonfruit, mango, papaya… but also cherries, strawberries, coconut, lilies and almost every seasonal and non-seasonal goodness.
These are the fruit stalls, magically set up, that attract tourists for a very healthy take-away.

Here's where the market is located:
La Boqueria is the most famous market in Spain and one of the largest in Catalonia with its 2,583 square meters and more than 300 stalls. It is also one of the oldest markets in Spain: born at the beginning of the 17th century at the gates of the city in the plain of Pla de la Boqueria (which today is a small square in front of the current market) to avoid paying taxes on goods, it was inaugurated later, in 1836, where it is still located halfway along the popular Rambla, between the Palau de la Virreina and the Liceu Theater.

A slice of cake with strawberries.
When we are in strawberry season (even though we can find any type of fruit all year round) it is the best to make a dessert that takes advantage of its scents and why not even its colors.
This strawberry cake made by my mother very simple with shortcrust pastry and custard is among the best in my house. Although, I must admit, I prefer the tart with jam (strictly strawberry).

Strawberry seeds.
Today I enjoyed macro photography of fruit. I had some strawberries at home so here they are.
Despite the large magnification you can see the great softness of this fruit, don't you think?
As I just discovered these seeds are called achenes, I didn't know that!
Have you ever seen them so close up?

Although strawberries are considered fruits from a nutritional point of view, they are not from a botanical point of view, as the actual fruits are the so-called achenes, or the yellow seeds that can be seen on the surface of the strawberry.

Risotto with strawberries and champagne.
A very good dish eaten on board the Costa Fascinosa included in the gala menu and prepared with rice, strawberries and champagne.
In addition to the delicate and rounded taste, an eye also to the aesthetics with a little flower as a garnish!

Of course, there are dozens of online recipes on how to prepare it: giallozafferano.it, misya.info or davidezambelli.com.
Risotto is a typical first course of Italian cuisine, originally from Lombardy, then spread throughout northern Italy and today spread in numerous versions throughout the country. Its main characteristic is the maintenance of the starch, which, gelatinized due to cooking, binds the grains together in a creamy compound.

Fragole dolcissime di zucchero fotografate a Venezia.
Delle fragole dolcissime fotografate in una vetrina di una pasticceria di Venezia (di cui purtroppo però non ho segnato il nome).
Dal momento che erano in vetrina non so dirvi di cosa erano fatte; forse marzapane? Ditemelo voi se lo sapete.
Erano decisamente invitanti e solo perché non sono un dipendente da zuccheri non ne ho provata una.

Una bella ricetta per fare le fragole di marzapane la potete trovare su Giallozafferano.it.

A nice basket of strawberries.
An excellent basket of strawberries (which as you can read from the label come from Basilicata).
They are one of my favorite fruits.
I usually eat them cut into small pieces and left to macerate with a little water and sugar. Many also add a little red wine.

Strawberry refers to the fruits of plants of the genus Fragaria to which many different species belong. In reality, it is a false fruit or aggregate fruit. This term is commonly used to refer to the edible (composted) part of the plant: even if strawberries are considered fruits from a nutritional point of view, they are not from a botanical point of view: the actual fruits are the so-called achenes, or the yellow seeds that can be seen on the surface of the strawberry. The strawberry is considered an aggregate fruit because it is nothing more than the enlarged receptacle of an inflorescence, usually positioned on a special stem.

Per fragola si intendono i frutti delle piante del genere Fragaria a cui appartengono molte specie differenti.
In realtà si tratta di un falso frutto o frutto aggregato.
Comunemente con questo termine si intende la parte edibile (commestibile) della pianta: anche se le fragole sono considerate dei frutti dal punto di vista nutrizionale, non lo sono dal punto di vista botanico: i frutti veri e propri sono i cosiddetti acheni ossia i semini gialli che si vedono sulla superficie della fragola. La fragola viene considerata come un frutto aggregato perché non è altro che il ricettacolo ingrossato di un’infiorescenza, posizionata di norma su un apposito stelo.

Cestini di fragole.
Ormai non esiste più una stagione precisa per la frutta e costantemente si possono trovare tutti i tipi di frutta in ogni momento dell’anno.
Questi bei cestini di fragole infatti (le cui dimensioni appaiono quasi innaturali) erano in bella mostra su un banco del mercato coperto di Barcellona.
