bread with grapes Every year I think the same thing: it would be nice if, during the grape harvest ,after we’ve cook our lunch in the wood burning oven , I baked some homemade bread with grapes. But, every year is the same, I do think about it, but actually never do it! In [...] 
sausage in grape
We’ve been very lucky. The weather was beautiful and in two days we managed to collect almost 4 tons of grapes! Many friends arrived from Rome on Saturday and others from Allerona village. The Romans took their time to arrive and of course were wearing super-trendy clothes. So after they changed [...] 
chicken with grapes Now is the time we start the harvest. The grapes are many and the strength of the sugar in the grapes is perfect. Nick and I are happy because many of the low clusters have resisted the wild boar attacks . Yes I know that sounds strange but It is [...] 
Marinade prawns While the fresh prawns were marinating, I wrote a list of things to do: 
beef with pistachios and fig roll The season of figs has arrived, it’s official . In every house in the Allerona village every woman is busy making fig jam. A friend of mine who lives a couple of hills away from me, has already brought me a precious jar of fig jam to use [...] 
pork fillet with blackberries
Believe it or not, it all started with an old gentleman from the village who resembles a circus strong man. Barrel chested and shaven head, the only thing missing is the mustache and leotard. Over the last month, every morning I went running I saw this man equipped with [...] 
Moscardini in red sauce and wine
This week they came from London my mother in law and her friend for their holiday. Sun, relaxation, Italian food, good wine, a nice view of the green Umbrian hills and nothing more. One of the most interesting things when we have guests from U.K. is for me [...] 
fish pie
No, I could not do it! It been a lovely and sunny weekend here in Umbria, it seemed that summer had returned even if only for a day. The mountain of firewood was still there, I watched the 8 tons … and no, I was not quite ready. I preferred to enjoy [...] 
salty tart with green beans and cheese This is the last picture for this year where you will see a sunflower. At the moment in the fields can be found only wild ones, solitary individual flowers , away from the regimented mass we so often see them in. Even sunflowers have completely finished their [...] 
Pasta alla norma
Today I think I made the last harvest of tomatoes for this season. I’m speaking of tomatoes good for making sauce. For the rest , in the vegetable garden I still have : cherry tomatoes, tomatoes good for salad, aubergines and peppers. Some courgette flowers have appeared , but whether they [...] 
fish and apricot During these month’s I’ve had the opportunity to enjoy eating 100% seasonally . In addition to using what my vegetable garden generously gave me, I also had the good fortune to have neighbors who were super happy to give me, fruits and vegetables from their gardens and trees. So, as in [...]
CIAO , I’m back. Did you miss me? I hope so….anyway , after a month of a relatively relaxing holiday, here I am again. August has been very productive. My vegetable garden has been generous this summer and demanded quite a lot of work…… MAMMA MIA. So let’s start: with [...] |
