ristorante la mulinella {todi – umbria}

Ristorante Mulinella, Umbria Elizabeth Minchilli

Which, in a food world full of ‘the next new thing’ can actually be a good thing.  But when all the restaurants in any given area have pretty much photocopied the same menu over and over, it’s the little things that can make all the difference. While Ristorante...

pasticceria pirona {trieste}

Pasticcceria Pirona Trieste Elizabeth Minchilli

Being in Trieste makes you want to be more literary. One of the first things we did when we landed here on Friday was head to a bookstore. Domenico wanted to buy a copy of Italo Svevo’s Zeno’s Conscience. Because, you know, Svevo wrote that famous book here. (if you didn’t know Svevo or his...

Although the main event is the mega food fair that happens every two years, i’m always just as excited about visiting and revisiting some of my favorite restaurants. Antiche Sere is at the top of my favorites list. I think...

a week in rome with evan kleiman

Sophie, London

One of the biggest influences on my life,  not only as food writer, but as cook, is one of my best friends, Evan Kleiman. I first met Evan over 20 years ago, via a phone call. Our conversation – about food, cooking and life – has been going on steadily ever since. Evan first visited...

take away in rome {monti}

Pasta Chef, Elizabeth Minchilli

There is a new trend happening in Rome, and it’s a delicious one. To get around the cost and bureaucracy of obtaining a restaurant permit, many young entrepreneurs are turning to a new solution of opening take away places.  While Rome has always had pizza a taglio places, where a take out slice of pan...

sicilian style green beans

Sicilian Style Green Beans

Obviously one of the reasons I travel is for the food. While I love discovering new dishes in both homes and restaurants what I really look forward to is the chance to poke my nose into other people’s kitchens. I love everything about it: from the pans on the cooktop to the plates on the...

earthquake in central italy – donations

Umbria - 1

I’m writing this post from Umbria, where two nights ago we were woken up in the middle of the night by the strong tremors that wrought devastation  100 kilometers south of us. We were lucky. We only lost a night’s sleep. The area where the regions of Lazio, Umbria, Marche and Abruzzo meet has been...
