spring minestrone
Like most people I tend to think of Minestrone as a winter kind of thing. A hearty vegetable soup, served piping hot and full of winter vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower, celery, carrots, leeks and potatoes. Yes, maybe some canned tomatoes work their way in there, and of course some parsley for brightness. But basically, a...

new york visit {march 2017}
People always ask me where I eat in New York. As if I’m an expert. I’m not, by any means. I haven’t lived in New York for almost 30 years, and when I do go there,I’m always running between seeing friends and family and meeting editors. That means that I rarely get to actually choose...

artichoke dinner {rome}
It’s no secret that I’ve got a thing for artichokes. If you follow me on any form of social media then you know my feed turns green and purple this time of year. While many of you have shared my carciofi addiction with your own images tagged #carciofogram, I’d like to invite you to step out...

Evan Kleiman + Fabrizia Lanza {A Conversation in Rome}
We are used to discussing the sad story of agriculture in North America in the 21st century: The high ecological costs that come from industrial production; The glut of cheap and unhealthy calories; Huge food waste yet at the same time tragic food insecurity. Yet if you read my blog, you might assume that here...

how to make fettuccine alfredo {video}
I have a huge fondness for old fashioned restaurants with a story behind them. And when that story involves a lot of butter and cheese? Even better. There are certain, extremely unfashionable, dishes that I’m continually drawn to. I know I can’t eat them every day, but, for instance, when I find myself at Pompiere...

artichokes + goat cheese {pasta}
Although this past weekend in Rome was gloriously beautiful, there was one event that clouded my blue skies. As many of you know I visit the Farmers Market on Via San Teodoro every weekend, to stock up on everything I need to see me through the week. Not just vegetables, but literally everything from fruit...

making tomato paste in sicily {video}
Unless you’re reading this from Australia, or another of the countries in the southern hemisphere that read my blog, I figure that by now, you could use a dose of sunshine. At the end of last summer I spent five glorious days in Sicily learning how to put sunshine in a jar. It’s easy. Take...

pianostrada {rome}
The only thing I love more than favorite restaurants remaining unchanged, is when they get better. While some of my preferred hangouts in Rome have had their ups and downs since I’ve been going to them for the last 2 to 4 decades, they remain – for the most part – comfortingly the same. Same...

baked cauliflower & cheese
I usually don’t begin a post with an apology. And I’m trying really hard not to do it here. But…I do want to say something about the lack of any real photos of the finished dish which was not only fantastic, but not bad looking either. The problem was, I didn’t have my camera with...

gurdulù {florence}
You know those Facebook memories that pop up on your wall? It’s usually pretty fun to see what you were up to last year, or….oh god, 10 years ago? Has it been that long now? And then there are those other memories, that remind you of things you meant to do, but somehow either forgot...
