Chestnut gnocchi and Porcini mushrooms sauce For generations in the old trattories of Rome, the Thursday menu is dedicated to Gnocchi pasta. I grew up with the saying: gnocchi Thursday ! So , after discovering that even here in Umbria , Thursday is the day for Gnocchi , I thought it was necessary to understand [...] 
bread and freshly pressed olive oil With these olives it never seems to end! As you surely remember a couple of weeks ago we made our olive harvest. Then, with great satisfaction for two weeks we’ve been watching everyone from the Allerona village picking theirs . I say satisfaction because clearly ,when you know that your work is [...] 
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 [...] 
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 [...] 
spinach and smoked tuna terrine It ‘s spinach time! The spinach harvest in my garden was excellent. Although I had the same problem I have with the salad … .. they’re all ready at the same time! But this is not a big problem, because the beauty of spinach is that you can also [...] 
bruschetta with tomatoes Bruschetta with tomatoes is certainly one of those dishess that, I believe , represents Italy. Bruschetta seems like a simple thing to do, and in reality it is, but you must be extremely careful with a few things. 1: The bread must be Casareccio bread, baked in a wood oven, [...] 
zucchini flowers This dish I could not live without . I have spoken to you before about these delicious zucchini flowers cook in the Roman way. Now that my vegetable garden is filled with zucchini , I think it’s the right time to do it. Each region has it’s own way to cook [...] 
carbonara There are days that I really miss Rome , I miss the coffee in Sant ‘Eustachio square , the flower market in Campo Dei Fiori and walks through the alleys in the heart of Rome. Among other things, I miss the aperitivo in Piazza della Tartaruga (although I recently discovered that the area [...] 
involtini
I wonder why I have not thought about this recipe before . I could say that Involtini di carne al sugo , rolled beef in tomatoes sauce, is a dish that I grew up with. Infact , this was one of those dishes that my mother made very often. With this recipe she [...] 
ravioli with baccalà and tomatos
Believe me I’m not obsessed with Baccalà , but going to the market in Orvieto, I saw the fish counter and I found the Baccalà already soaked. Really lucky. In that way I could use it without having to leave it in water for 12 hours .. not bad. At this [...]
