spinach and ricotta cheese gnocchi While I was making these gnocchi, a big storm with wind and rain came crushing down outside my window. The fireplace was on, and although it was only early afternoon it seemed late at night. So in my kitchen the atmosphere was quite depressing . To make matters worse [...] 
Porcini mushrooms fry. We drove an eight hour round trip from Umbria to Abruzzo. The olive harvest was good, my parents produced 58 liters of EVO oil. MAMMA MIA with all this olive oil we could probably shower in it! Nick and I also received a wonderful gift … 2 young Ascolana Olive trees! [...] 
bread and freshly pressed olive oil With these olives it never seems to end! As you surely remember a couple of weeks ago we made our olive harvest. Then, with great satisfaction for two weeks we’ve been watching everyone from the Allerona village picking theirs . I say satisfaction because clearly ,when you know that your work is [...]

pumpkin and linguine pasta Everywhere you look …. There are pumpkins! In stores, supermarkets, magazines, and clearly in all the food blogs. Halloween !!! witches and pumpkins!

For us Italians there is [...] 
Lasagna Porcini mushrooms and Truffles One day not long ago I woke up and filled out the form to participate in the program MasterChef U.K. Ok, I know, I’m no master chef and the chances of being chosen are very small, practically nonexistent. But who cares. Nothing ventured nothing gained ! plus when I [...] 
bread with grapes Every year I think the same thing: it would be nice if, during the grape harvest ,after we’ve cook our lunch in the wood burning oven , I baked some homemade bread with grapes. But, every year is the same, I do think about it, but actually never do it! In [...] 
salty tart with green beans and cheese This is the last picture for this year where you will see a sunflower. At the moment in the fields can be found only wild ones, solitary individual flowers , away from the regimented mass we so often see them in. Even sunflowers have completely finished their [...]
