aubergine with mozzarella and prune
Sorry, but I cannot do anything about this. All the things that i have wanted to eat lately are small snacks and more importantly, they must be quick to prepare. I therefore apologize to those who live in Australia or elsewhere where it is not summer time, but here [...]
beef fillet to up with green beans and pistachios pesto
Do you remember my famous freezer? It’s the big investment we made during the spring and it’s also the reason why this summer, my mission will not be to go on holiday , but to fill it up with all the wonderful vegetables [...]
chicken and green beans roll in crispy sesame seeds
Yesterday I went with my basket to shop in my vegetable garden!! I got what I needed for dinner then I closed the little gate and went straight to the kitchen. The reason why we decided to put the net around the vegetables was to [...]
mortadella and prunes finger food
Here it is a finger food, quick to make and incredibly good. The idea was to put at the base a slice of prune and to use a glazed balsamic vinegar as a final drop on top. I know you think I’m crazy, and maybe you’re right, maybe all [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
finger food of Cacio e Pepe
In Italy we say – NON TUTTE LE CIAMBELLE ESCONO CON L BUCO – which literally means – not all donuts come with a hole in the middle. The meaning is obviously, that things do not always come out as you wish. Do you have this saying, in [...]
chickpeas ball
My mood has not changed, maybe it’s the sun, the heat and fatigue to working in the garden. But for today I thought to make a quick finger food that once prepared can go in the fridge. Ready for 7.00 p.m. when a glass of chilled white wine is waiting for me [...]
sausage on creamed saffron risotto
The whole village is excited, everyone has a task. There are those who prepare the games, who organize the list of the ladies who are going to make the cakes, those who buy the ingredients for the “farmers “menu and those who buy gallons of wine. I was assigned [...]
cannoli with strawberries and ricotta cheese
Everyone knows that Italians really like to talk about two things: food and weather! I confirm this is true and then and to be on the same page, here I am complaining about the weather , but I am also speaking of a food delicacy which I am [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
spoons of mortadella and pistachios
For this finger food I decided to literally follow the recipe from Viviana Lapertosa. This woman is a talented chef, from my point of view. When I read this recipe I was very curious and I decided to try it. Honestly once the pistachio and parmesan wafer is prepared [...]
