Silvana are cookies made of cashew meringue or dacqoise, sandwiched and filled with french buttercream. It comes in oval and round shapes. To make it different , I made triangles for this recipe. Silvana is a Gateau Sans Rival cookie to make it simple.

My First Sauerkraut Chronicle
Whenever I will be filming or editing dessert videos I still try to create something that may be used as a good product for selling. Sauerkraut ( fermented vegetables in german) or "atchara" in Filipino is a mixture of vinegar, salt, sugar and white pepper , reduced to half until slightly thick and glossy, which is acutally a simple vinaigrette . Classically unripe papaya or green papaya shreded like cheese mixed with carrots, raisins, sliced chilli peppers. These recipes uses sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds. I didn't have time to cook meals so this is what I usually do, either warm or cold salads that may be consumed with your steamed rice, slices of bread or ramen. This is a good way to give your bottled sauerkruats a new taste . Korean side dishes uses sesame seeds in many of their vegetable sidings. This is healthy and very good too:) Please use a greater amount in weight of your favorite leafy vegetable since this shrinks after it has soaked in our yummy sweet tangy sauce. Enjoy preparing it:
