bruschetta with tomatoes

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, [...]

carciofi alla romana

carciofi alla romana

Fourth row of the vineyard, another 3 artichokes ready to be picked! So to continue on the theme of missing Rome, I thought to do even the artichokes in the Roman way,  Carciofi alla romana. In this way, even if spread out over several days, I had a full Roman meal. Stuffed Zucchini flowers [...]

cook grilled peppers

 

cook grilled peppers

I love peppers, but unfortunately over the years, I discovered that like raw garlic  ( served in the typical bruschetta, with olive oil and salt) I find them a bit ‘indigestible. Could it be an age thing? I don’t know, but considering that I like them so much, I found [...]

Artichokes and fireworks

fry artichokes

fry artichokes

 

One thing  I immediately noticed when I came to live in the countryside, is the habit of planting roses or artichokes at the beginning of each row of grapes. The meaning of roses was then explained to me, the rose plant serves as a wake-up call, being in fact a very [...]

Nonna knows best

parmigiana

parmigiana

 

My Neapolitan grandmother always told me that the origin of Parmigiana di melanzane (eggplant parmigiana) there was no doubt, came from  Napoli. Yes, because with this recipe there is a real dispute between two regions  Campania and Sicily. I’m biased because my grandmother from my mother’s side ,was from Naples , if you [...]

To paraphrase George Clooney, no finger food, no party ! In my opinion, parties should always start from 7.00 pm. Moreover, if the party exceeds the number of 8 people, I do not think the sitting dinner  is the best thing, The reason is that people can barely communicate, and you [...]
