samosa
At the back of the shelf in the refrigerator I found the filo pastry, honestly I can not remember when I bought it. The problem with filo pastry is that you can hardly use it all in one go, because the sheets are so many! I was very happy to find it and [...]
In the Italian tradition frittura is a delicacy that does not require expensive ingredients. We us vegetables such as cauliflower, zucchini, eggplants and many others . Then there is the fish, but only certain types , in parts of Italy they also fry just the batter, it’s called Clouds –Nuvole-, because in [...]
steamed chicken in red pepper cream
Characteristics: good and tasty, relatively easy to do (if you’re patient), not expensive and gluten free. I learned to do this finger food during the Gambero Rosso cooking course. Of course ,considering my character ,I’m a little ‘rebel ,I’ve made some small changes. Just between us, this finger [...]
canapes salmon and rocket
As a tradition in this blog, I decided that on Saturday there is no better recipe than a appetizer for a cocktail. If you have guests for the weekend, this canapès, it will be a great success. The secret is to make these small, so your hand or that of [...]
mini cake with courgettes
The idea of this mini cake came to me during the summer, when I was desperate to use the huge amount of courgettes my vegetable garden produced. With the courgettes its always the same. Every year, when the first ones come along I’m very excited, I also start to make [...]
zucchini roll
This is one of my favorites finger foods , certainly one of the reasons is that during the summer I have lots of zucchini in my vegetable garden and I have to find different ways to cook them, but the real reason why I love this finger food is because it’s incredibly [...]

This is one of those delicious things that can be taken as a snack, picnic in the park or if you do not want to take it out of the house you can eat it for lunch or dinner at home. you can also cut it into strips so it can [...]

Salty cream puffs with cod fish and saffron
Spring has finally arrived, even if this morning the farmer told me that in a couple of days maybe it will snow again!! But I do not want to believe him, I feel good and I want to celebrate the end of this long [...]
Thousand leavs
This is one of those appetizer that can be done with everythings you have in the fridge, the important part is just the right mix of ingredients, so today I propose this to you, but I have other ideas, so the next time who knows?
cutting broccoli
While I was cutting that broccoli I thought that all work in the garden will soon start, preparing the vegetable garden for the summer, armed with a hoe I’ll have to work the soil, fertilize and shortly after sowing. … not a lot of fun, especially hoe! It’s strange to think of [...]
Leek Spring roll
Fortunately, the leek is one of the vegetable that survived the frost and snow that have attacked my vegetable garden this year! I’m not a big fan of the leek but believe me coupled with smoked ham, then sprinkled with corn meal and fried it …. believe me it is fantastic!
Salty croissants
These small salty croissants are a true classic in my house …. I make this often because they are fast and are great for an aperitif. You need only three things to prepare it, 10 minutes to compose and 20 minutes in the oven!
cannoli stuffed with swordfish on cream beans
This recipe comes from Chef Luca Ogliotti , I liked a lot and therefore I propose to you. But I’ve made a small change and instead of tuna, I used swordfish ( the one that I found on sale!). Other small satisfaction was the possibility of using [...]
Goat cheese biscuits
Honestly sweet biscuits with wine are something that I always like at the end of a meal, as in Tuscany in Umbria is a tradition and I do respect traditions! But I wonder…. if the biscuit is salty, way not tasted it as an aperitif. So here I am, if you [...]
