Ladies and gentlemen, today is my last recipe for the summer! I feel that for me it is time to take a break, recharge my batteries, to be ready by early September with many new recipes. In the middle time you can check the Sagraincasa archive [...]
cucumber and mozzarella salad
For the first time this year, I decided to plant in my vegetable garden, a couple of different varieties of tomatoes, two kinds that I haven’t eaten before, YELLOW cherry tomatoes (even if they look orange) and BLACK tomatoes . I had the inspiration when I was watching an old [...]
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 [...]

Nothing is faster to prepare, fresh and tasty to eat as a good CAPRESE, especially for a summer lunch. Also at this time of year tomatoes are delicious and the basil is abundant. I started to collect the first cherry tomatoes from my vegetable garden and feel the taste of a freshly picked [...]
watermelon and feta cheese salad
Just over a year ago, I saw a recipe for a salad made with watermelon and feta. I remember very well thinking …., MAMMA MIA strange mix. Then last week , this recipe came back in my mind and I thought to do a little research on the [...]
bbq squid
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 [...]
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 [...]

Yesterday was a great day, Nick and I celebrated our 13 years of marriage … …. My god 13 years! At that time I was a young girl living in London and randomly decided to rent a room in a house near Chalk Farm. The beautiful landlord of the house was [...]
mini frittatas with ham and sesame seeds
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 [...]
bucatini with anchovies
Let’s go to Sicily? Wouldn’t it be nice? Summer is here 100% now, and finally it’s warm, incorrect….it’s backing hot! Unfortunately we don’t have a swimming pool, although a few years ago, we put a beautiful old bath in the garden with a shower head above. Clearly it is forbidden to [...]
