caprese
Nothing is faster to prepare, fresh and tasty to eat as a good CAPRESE, especially for a summer lunch. Also at this time of year tomatoes are delicious and the basil is abundant. I started to collect the first cherry tomatoes from my vegetable garden and feel the taste of a freshly picked [...]
watermelon and feta cheese salad
Just over a year ago, I saw a recipe for a salad made with watermelon and feta. I remember very well thinking …., MAMMA MIA strange mix. Then last week , this recipe came back in my mind and I thought to do a little research on the [...]
crispy fried vegetable
Clearly all this time my zucchini continue to grow. I’ve already had enough to freeze a couple of bags , simply cut into cubes. With the others i made a new version of Parmigiana, in which I substituted eggplants for zucchini and have frozen these too. But, to my delight, in [...]
mini frittatas with ham and sesame seeds
In these days we’ve been swimming at the Allerona village pool. The pool is not bad at all, it’s big enough to do serious swimming and the beauty is that it’s surrounded by vineyards. The only problem is that if we want to swim and have a [...]
octopus and green beans salad
Another recipe with green beans. However…. this time with a touch of class. I’ve used fresh octopus also! A seafood salad to serve in small portions as an appetizer or a nice bowl as a main dish. This octopus salad and green beans is a true rainbow of [...]
finger food with tuna
Here is my apotheosis for the most delicious finger food . There are three reasons that make this dish wonderful. First of all the fact that it’s a finger food , in my opinion, gives it top marks. Secondly, it’s made with fresh tuna (which here costs normally 27 euros [...]

No, not the savory croissants, again! This was the comment by Nick! But let’s start from the beginning. As I wrote in my blog a long time ago, the savory croissants are a classic at my house, they are something fast to make so I do them often …. in Nick’s view, too [...]
bruschetta with tomatoes
Bruschetta with tomatoes is certainly one of those dishess that, I believe , represents Italy. Bruschetta seems like a simple thing to do, and in reality it is, but you must be extremely careful with a few things. 1: The bread must be Casareccio bread, baked in a wood oven, [...]
zucchini flowers
This dish I could not live without . I have spoken to you before about these delicious zucchini flowers cook in the Roman way. Now that my vegetable garden is filled with zucchini , I think it’s the right time to do it. Each region has it’s own way to cook [...]
lasagna express
This is one of those brilliant ideas that gave me so much satisfaction. In the afternoon I went to my local supermarket to buy something for dinner. I am sure that this happens to you too , there are evenings when you do not know what to eat, you do not want [...]
prosciutto e melone
I am one of those people who eat the ham but leaves the melon. … you’re probably thinking , what’s the point of putting it on the blog if I never eat it! So here it is, it’s the Antipasto that Italians go crazy for….! Prosciutto and melon is prepared in [...]
humus
Eventually I decided to cut the grass, so I donned my very fashionable work clothes and armed with the strimmer started to cut … …., and here we are.. the wires in the strimmer sent a small stone with great speed against the glass of my car and BBHHOOMMM. Believe me I was [...]
fry artichokes
One thing I immediately noticed when I came to live in the countryside, is the habit of planting roses or artichokes at the beginning of each row of grapes. The meaning of roses was then explained to me, the rose plant serves as a wake-up call, being in fact a very [...]
polpetta with eggplant and potatoes
I’d do Polpette in every way, I love meatballs cooked with the tomato sauce , also when these are fried , of course or baked (for a lighter version), then there are the fish balls ( in the Italian version, but they are also super good the Thai fish cake [...]
