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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
cheese cake
During the years 1996/19997 I had the pleasure of living a year and a half in London. At this time I flew up and down to Italy to support my exams at the University of Rome . During this time, I did the most bizarre jobs in London , including waitressing in [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
finger food of Cacio e Pepe
In Italy we say – NON TUTTE LE CIAMBELLE ESCONO CON L BUCO – which literally means – not all donuts come with a hole in the middle. The meaning is obviously, that things do not always come out as you wish. Do you have this saying, in [...]
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 [...]
