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 [...]

buffalo and truffle

buffalo and truffle

Maybe it’s because I’m in a good mood, it  maybe all the sun and the smell of summer, it can also be because our aperitif at  7:00 pm in the winter time , has now become an aperitif of 8:00 pm, and more importantly we can also drink it in the [...]

There are days when around 5 p.m. I start to crave something sweet but not too sweet … ..do  you understand the feeling? I’m not a great lover of chocolate, I’d rather have cookies or cakes with cream. However, when I have these days it’s extremely dangerous for me to enter into [...]

Nonna knows best

parmigiana

parmigiana

 

My Neapolitan grandmother always told me that the origin of Parmigiana di melanzane (eggplant parmigiana) there was no doubt, came from  Napoli. Yes, because with this recipe there is a real dispute between two regions  Campania and Sicily. I’m biased because my grandmother from my mother’s side ,was from Naples , if you [...]

Happy Birthday

pasta shell

To paraphrase George Clooney, no finger food, no party ! In my opinion, parties should always start from 7.00 pm. Moreover, if the party exceeds the number of 8 people, I do not think the sitting dinner  is the best thing, The reason is that people can barely communicate, and you [...]

Forgotten beauty

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 [...]

The days of the fireplace are almost finished, and frankly I am very happy! To bring the wood in and light the fire every day is heavy. But at last the sun is high and the days are starting to be long. The months in front will be spent  in the vegetables [...]
