pea risotto
After about seven years of writing this blog, I’m hope you’ll excuse me if I sometimes repeat myself. Really, I try not to. But since I’m one person, doing all the thinking and the writing (and most of the eating and all of the cooking) I’m bound to repeat myself every so often. So when...

chicken {roman style}
One of the things I love about doing Food Tours in Rome are the different people I have a chance to meet. While you’d think the conversation is mostly going one way (me telling visitors all about Roman food) I’m actually much more interested in creating a conversation. I LOVE hearing not only about personal details...

asparagus salad
People ask me all the time how I decide what to cook when I’m at home. I would say that 45% of the time it depends what is in season. Then there is the other 45% that has to do with what I actually happen to have in the house (which is sometimes seasonal, and...

eating outside in rome
This is the time of year I love love love to eat outside. One of my favorite places is, (sorry, not sorry) my own terrace in Rome. Since it’s just a tad too small to invite you all over for lunch or dinner, I thought I’d pull together my short list of restaurants where outside...

wild asparagus {pasta}
I’m definitely a multi-tasker. It’s rare that I do just one thing at a time. Even when I’m writing, (which by nature is immune to multitasking) I’m definitely thinking ahead: can this recipe work in a book? Should this restaurant review be part of my apps? Even when I walk, I’m doing a few things...

fish + olives
I was doing it all wrong. Pesce con Olive , Fish with Olives, was one of those dishes that Domenico mentioned from the very beginning of our relationship. Whenever I would buy fish, he would request I cook it this way. Every time he described it, it always sounded so….boring? Since Domenico’s request was based...

artichokes + fave + peas {pasta}
It was a toss up right until the last possible moment what we were going to have for Easter lunch yesterday. We are down in Bari for the long holiday weekend, and we just couldn’t settle on a menu ahead of time. Partly I was having a hard time getting into the spirit of things....

easter {2016}
Easter is a very big deal here in Italy. So big that it takes up just about an entire week. Yesterday was Palm Sunday, then there’s Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Pasquetta (Little Easter) which is totally not religious, but mostly about having a picnic with friends (because you’ve spent WAY too much time with...

caffe mulassano {torino}
Some things just taste better in their place of origin. I was talking about this the other evening with a friend as we were recalling a past trip to Greece. We were talking about a visit to a small village where they produced ouzo, which – as we remembered – had never before and never...

hello from new york
Hello! I’m still in the States and just realized that as organized as I usually am, I had planned no post for today. Just too too busy having fun, seeing friends, doing a lot of work and eating way too much. So today’s post is short and sweet. Hope that’s ok with you? I had...
