Con B1: Both groups

Hope you're having a good vacation. I'm publishing Marisa's very good summary of the next to the last class ( which I didn't see until nowand was the same for both groups) and Betsa's wonderful recipe for Tiramisú.


Hello! I’m going to tell you what we did on Wednesday. Some partners read love histories of famous people. We had to guess who was this famous person. After this we made a survey about food and restaurants. Then we talked about food and learnt new words. It’s helpful if we go to a restaurant in England for example. You have to know what you’re going to eat.
And Betsa's recipe:

  1. Hi Kate and everyone!!

    Here comes my recipe: Tiramisú for 4

    Ingredients: 2 eggs, a packAGE of mascarpone cheese, finger biscuits (bizcochos), sugar, vanilla eXtract, coffe and some liquor (rum, coñac or wiskey as you prefer), NesQuik or other powdered cocoa.

    You will need: 3 bowls, presentation plate, whisk, collander, spoons, and coffEe pot.

    FIRST: take THe eggs and separate the yolks from the whites, put each one in a diFferent bowl. Beat very good the yolks VERY WELL with 2 spoons of sugar (one for each yolk)and mix with the mascarpone cheese, mix slowly until you have a homogenic HOMOGENOUS soft cream, add some vanilla eXtract. Taste it and add some sugar if you want.

    Meanwhile: make the coffeE, put in on a bowl and mix with the liquor (normally half little COFFEE cup) and some sugar, taste it and add liquor or sugar if you prefer it stronger).

    Leave cream and the coffEe out waiting for a while.

    NOW: take the whites and beat very fast and strong until they stiffEN like a soft snow.
    Finally mix the stiffenED whites with the cream, and Important!! very slowly trYing to retain the foamy texture. Better if you don't add sugar in this moment cause we can lose the texture (taste the sweet before, with the cream).

    FINALLY: make layers!
    Take the biscuits and give them a bath in the bowl with the coffeE -only a moment, you can see if they smash  BREAK OR MELT  but the coffe must get in the bisquits- make a layer of bisquits on the plate.
    Take the cream and make a layer with cream (be generous) and cover with the powdered cocoa. Do it again making anothRe layer of bisquits and another layer of cream and cover with powdered cocoa.

    Put on the freeze and wait 8-12 hours and enjoy!! (you can eat before but you will see, the texture is not the same if you wait).

    SECRETS of the recipe: mix slowly the cream, in the same direction, mix slowly with the stiffen whites. A layer can have 8-9 bisquits (depends on the size). The tub of mascarpone: better if it is 250gr.

    Kisses and Merry Christmas for everyone!!!! enjoy!!!!

  1. Dear classmates,
    this note has no connection with the english class, it´s only to communicate the next one: I´m planning on returning to class for January 16 cause I had a surgery on December 29, I´m getting well and I need keeping at rest. I´ll take a medical certificate to show it to Kate, meanwhile I´ll think about the presentation.
    Have a good week.
    Regards. Victor
