Ladies and gentlemen, today is my last recipe for the summer! I feel that for me it is time to take a break, recharge my batteries, to be ready by early September with many new recipes. In the middle time you can check the Sagraincasa archive , where you will find 109 nice recipes . So you can’t say that I’m leaving you with an empty plate! As I wrote a little time ago, I intend to spend the summer here in my farm house, amongst the golden hills of Umbria, experimenting with new recipes, using fresh ingredients straight from my vegetable garden and of course enjoying the sunsets with a glass of good local wine.
During August, the cooking classes will continue as usual. So if you are on vacation around Orvieto and you want to do some cooking lessons here in my kitchen or in the villa where you are on holiday , do not hesitate to contact me.
Finally, I’ll say goodbye for now with this very tasty dish and a few pictures of the sunflowers that at the moment are everywhere! I thank all of you who have been following my blog and wish a happy holiday to you all. See you in September .
By the way, remember in September it’s grape picking time….so be ready!
