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 [...]
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 [...]
octopus and green beans salad
Another recipe with green beans. However…. this time with a touch of class. I’ve used fresh octopus also! A seafood salad to serve in small portions as an appetizer or a nice bowl as a main dish. This octopus salad and green beans is a true rainbow of [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
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, [...]
lasagna express
This is one of those brilliant ideas that gave me so much satisfaction. In the afternoon I went to my local supermarket to buy something for dinner. I am sure that this happens to you too , there are evenings when you do not know what to eat, you do not want [...]
Thousand leavs
This is one of those appetizer that can be done with everythings you have in the fridge, the important part is just the right mix of ingredients, so today I propose this to you, but I have other ideas, so the next time who knows?
Leek Spring roll
Fortunately, the leek is one of the vegetable that survived the frost and snow that have attacked my vegetable garden this year! I’m not a big fan of the leek but believe me coupled with smoked ham, then sprinkled with corn meal and fried it …. believe me it is fantastic!
cannoli stuffed with swordfish on cream beans
This recipe comes from Chef Luca Ogliotti , I liked a lot and therefore I propose to you. But I’ve made a small change and instead of tuna, I used swordfish ( the one that I found on sale!). Other small satisfaction was the possibility of using [...]
Tart with gorgonzola and radicchio
Another vegetable that is exceeding the frosts of February is my fantastic radicchio, and considering that its flavor is strong and pleasantly bitter, I thought to add it to a soft cheese, but strong in its flavor. As you see the Tart this time I made it big …. [...]
Baba Ganoush
This recipe comes from Turkey! There are very few things you need to prepare it: an eggplant, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, coriander or parsley and finally the Thaina sauce, very important for a successful outcome. Once you have done few slices of toasted bread then you are [...]
