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 [...]
sun-dried tomatoes and burrata cheese
These were the last of my sun dried tomatoes . Last summer I planted 60 tomato plants, a large part we eat during the summer ,with another part I made jars of tomato passata and some were made into sun-dried tomatoes. Now the stocks are running out and the [...]
Savory panna cotta
The weekend is almost here and I can not wait to enjoy my glass of wine, maybe even two ! This is the nice thing when you commit yourself to trying to be healthy during the week, i.e. drinking lots of water, eating healthily and doing sport …. I know it [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
Rigatoni with ricotta cheese and truffle

Baba Ganoush
This recipe comes from Turkey! There are very few things you need to prepare it: an eggplant, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, coriander or parsley and finally the Thaina sauce, very important for a successful outcome. Once you have done few slices of toasted bread then you are [...]
