caprese
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
tonnarelli and green beans pesto
Time for green beans!! Even with these I think I have exaggerated. I planted 20 plants and so now I have to create some ‘recipes. Talking with the ladies of Allerona, just to be safe, I have checked a bit ‘about the possibility of freezing some of the beans, [...]
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 [...]
ravioli filled with ricotta and asparagus
One of the beautiful things about living in the country is that we have many people who come to visit us . Friends and family directly from England or here in Italy. As I’ve said before here in the green hills of Umbria there is always work to be [...]
capunata
Scusate, I apologize . When I started this blog, I thought to share the joys of living in the country with you, but unfortunately there is another side to the coin … .. the ingredients in the kitchen are almost always decided by what’s in season. So ladies and gentleman, today for your [...]
stuffed calamaro
I had never seen a squid so big!! 600 grams in weight. I imagine that the fisherman who has caught it must have been an enormous man. I remember when I was little, my parents, for years ,toke me and my brothers on holiday in Sardinia. We did free camping (in those [...]
bbq lamb
The assessment we made was this: considering the quantity of vegetables we produce every summer from the vegetable garden , the 20 kg of beef we buy fresh from a local producer, plus the meat my father buys from Abruzzo … … …. we need a bigger freezer! So there it is, [...]

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 [...]
stuffed zucchini
Zucchini, eggplant and stuffed tomatoes are dishes that are used often in Mediterranean cooking. I had the pleasure of eating zucchini and stuffed tomatoes in Greece and I must say that they were very good . Now this is a recipe that, like many others in my blog came to me, passed [...]
