An unexpected present.

finger food with tuna

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 [...]

There is no limit to Polpette! I am absolutely convinced of this. But let’s start from the beginning. At the moment my potted herbs are very lush, even though it’s been a very hard year for them. In fact  during the spring my herbs fought off a fierce attack by garden [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]
