It’s 36 degrees, ok I will not complain, because when it’s winter is too cold and when it’s summer. … So let’s just say that here in Umbria near Orvieto, at 15 minutes walk from the happy village of Allerona , in short in my garden, it’s 36 degrees and is bloody [...]

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 [...]

In these days we’ve been swimming at the  Allerona village pool. The pool is not bad at all, it’s big enough to do serious swimming and the beauty is that it’s surrounded by vineyards. The only problem is that if we want to swim and have a [...]
