buying italian extra virgin olive oil {resources}
One of the questions I get most often is: Where can I buy good Italian extra virgin olive oil? I get this question from people visiting Italy as well as from readers and friends back in the States. If you’ve read even minimally about olive oil over the past few years then you know that...

dinner party: soup and a tart
I’ve spent the last year documenting the ways that people gather around a table in Italy. From low end pizza to lunch with a princess. So to say I have dinner parties on my mind is an extreme understatement. But I’ve always been a fan of dinner parties. And by ‘dinner party’ I don’t just...

plum jam {umbria}
Jam-making and I have an on- and off-again relationship. Some years I make enough jam to keep us fed through the apocalypse (which in these days of hurricanes and/or heatwaves seems to be upon us) and other years I just can’t be bothered. I could say it has to do with the amount of fruit...

biancofiore {bari}
We’re easing into the post-summer, real world of work very slowly. Rather than heard directly from Umbria to Rome, we’ve taken a slight detour to spend a week in Puglia. First stop (not surprisingly) is Bari for the weekend. Yesterday was Sophie‘s birthday (!) and so we decided that rather than go to one of...

summer salad + avocado dressing
Another quick post from Vacationlandia. I’m still at our house in Umbria. I’m still working on my book and recipe testing my way through 14 menus that reflect meals I’ve had up and down Italy. But in between pork roasts, ravioli and crostini I’ve take a few breaks to make something that is completely off-brand...

ricotta + tomato toast
I’m interrupting my self-imposed summer break from this blog for an emergency toast update. A few weeks ago, on Instagram Stories, I posted my breakfast , as I repeatedly do much to Domenico‘s dismay. “Who can possibly care what you are having for breakfast?” (It’s just a variation on his “Who can possibly care that...

summer {2017}
It’s that time of the year when Italy just about shuts down. The heat in most cities is just too much and so restaurants and shops close their doors while their owners head to cooler locations. This post is to let you know that, like all good Italians, I’ll be closing the virtual doors to...

top 5 list of cool sweet treats in rome
Almost every Roman has their favorite dishes that they order at their favorite restaurants. I’m no different. There’s cacio e pepe at Flavio, fried artichokes at Sora Margherita and those one-of-a-kind fried gnocchi with cheese sauce at Cesare. But I also have a back up list of go-to snacks when the weather turns torrid and...

two zucchini recipes {pasta + salad}
For the last month it seems like all I’ve been doing is traveling. And in fact, I just looked at the calendar and I’ve been on the road 25 out of the last 30 days. Want to know what I’ve been doing when I’m not traveling? Eating zucchini. We planted so many zucchini that it’s...
