Apple millefoglie

There are days when around 5 p.m. I start to crave something sweet but not too sweet … ..do  you understand the feeling? I’m not a great lover of chocolate, I’d rather have cookies or cakes with cream. However, when I have these days it’s extremely dangerous for me to enter into [...]

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 [...]

Happy Birthday

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 [...]

In Umbria, today we had a beautiful sun, seemed like August. From the morning I started to hear the sound of chainsaws and strimmers in action, which suggests to me that soon will be our turn too to work in the garden. I believe that on average ,during the summer ,we [...]

Mariella , Carla and me

Although the weather was raining and quite chilly, my friends Carla and Mariella – two lovely ladies from the village – telephoned me to participate in a wonderful experience: collecting cicoria or wild  chicory in the Umbrian hills.

Mini delights

Panna cotta with fresh strawberries

Panna cotta with fresh strawberries

The secret of the panna cotta is in  the right consistency. I once made a panna cotta that was hard as a rock and I apologize again to Yoni and his family, who were witnesses to this big mistake. On the other hand,  if it is too liquid it [...]

Lucky girl

ravioli with baccalà and tomatos

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 [...]

Forgotten beauty

At the back of the shelf in the refrigerator I found the filo pastry, honestly I can not remember when I bought it.  The problem with filo pastry is that you can hardly use it all in one go, because the sheets are so many! I was very happy to find it  and [...]
