February is associated with Valentine’s Day, featuring the romantic Bacio Perugina chocolate, created in 1922 by Luisa Spagnoli. Originally called “Cazzotto” due to its fist-like shape, it combines gianduia chocolate, hazelnuts, and a whole nut, all covered in dark chocolate. Spagnoli's partner, Giovanni Buitoni, proposed the name “Bacio” for a more appealing touch. The iconic design of lovers was crafted by Federico Seneca, inspired by Hayez's "The Kiss."

With the Australian Open well underway, I am astonished by the level of energy and resilience some players display. Obviously, their training routine is key, but so is their diet. Tennis players typically consume complex carbohydrates such as whole grains (like oats, brown rice, and quinoa), whole-wheat pasta, whole-wheat bread, and sweet potatoes. These foods provide a slow release of energy, which helps maintain stable blood glucose levels during physical activity.

Barbajada, a hot and creamy drink, embodies the spirit of a bygone Milan. Once a symbol of elegance and social gathering in the nineteenth century, it has largely faded from memory. Barbajada is a reminder of a more intimate side of Milan, where the simple pleasure of enjoying a steam cup was part of everyday life. Named after its inventor, Domenico Barbaja, a young Neapolitan who worked at Caffè Cambiasi near Teatro alla Scala, this drink is a simple blend of coffee, cocoa and whipped cream.
