Graffe are soft Neapolitan fried sweets that are traditionally prepared for Carnival. It is believed that they were inspired by famous Austrian krapfen. The main characteristic of these leavened, doughnut-shaped fritters with a hole in the middle is their softness, achieved by the addition of moist, cooked potatoes in the dough. After the frying process, graffe are repeatedly tossed in granulated sugar until they are coated in it, and are then enjoyed right away - they taste the best while still warm.

Graham cracker is a sweet American cracker made with graham flour and usually flavored with honey or cinnamon. The crackers date back to the early 1880s, when they were made with graham flour, lard or shortening, salt, molasses, and oil. They were invented by Sylvester Graham, a Presbyterian minister who introduced them in hopes to end masturbation &ndash; he believed that a radical vegetarian diet without white flour and spices would end lustful behaviour. Nowadays, the crackers are used in the preparation of s'mores, while graham cracker crumbs are used for pies, cheesecakes, and moon pies. In the Philippines, an icebox cake known as mango float uses graham crackers, cream, and mangoes.

Grand Marnier souffl&eacute; is a classic French dessert. The souffl&eacute; is made with a combination of Grand Marnier, egg whites, butter, and sugar, while grated orange rind can be used for extra flavor. The bitter is used for rubbing the souffl&eacute; cup on the inside. The mixture is baked on the bottom of the oven and it's then served immediately. It's believed that the key to a good Grand Marnier souffl&eacute; lies in the density of the egg whites &ndash; they should be whipped until the peaks develop a consistency that's firm, but not too full of air.

Bergamot granita is een traditioneel bevroren dessert op smaak gebracht met de essentie van bergamot, een citrusvrucht die voornamelijk in de regio wordt verbouwd en bekend staat om zijn kenmerkende geur en smaak. De bereiding omvat het maken van een eenvoudige siroop door suiker in water op te lossen, die vervolgens wordt gecombineerd met vers geëxtraheerd bergamot sap. Dit mengsel wordt in een metalen container gedaan en bevroren, met periodiek roeren om een korrelige, slushy consistentie te bereiken die kenmerkend is voor granita. Bergamot granita neemt een speciale plaats in in het culinaire erfgoed van Reggio Calabria, vooral tijdens de zwoele zomermaanden. Het zoete, scherpe en complexe smaakprofiel biedt een heerlijke afleiding van de hitte, waardoor het een populaire keuze is onder zowel de lokale bevolking als bezoekers.

Grasmere gingerbread is a traditional biscuit originating from Cumbria. This thin and chewy cookie (although some say it's more like a cake than a biscuit) is the best-known gingerbread in the country, and it dates back to 1854, when Sarah Nelson started to bake the gingerbread in her little cottage. This unique chewy gingerbread is nowadays freshly baked each day according to a secret recipe. However, it&rsquo;s believed that the cookies are made with a mixture of flour, brown sugar, ground ginger and nutmeg, baking soda, sea salt, and butter. Grasmere gingerbread also makes for a great gift, as the biscuits are sold wrapped in parchment and can be bought at the Grasmere Gingerbread Shop, located in the heart of the village.

The tradition of making these sweet treats came from the south with the arrival of cow&rsquo;s milk, so people used leftover egg yolks from the winemaking process.
