making pasta in sicily {busiate}
In Sicily last week I found myself once again in a flour mill learning all about pasta. This time around I was invited to Sicily by the wine company Zonin. Zonin is known for being the biggest wine producer in Italy. And while they do make a great quantity of wine they also have 10...

eggplant parmigiana
Even though I love going to the weekend Farmer’s Market here in Rome, I love it even more when Domenico goes on his own. Yesterday not only did I get to spend 2 hours at the gym (yes, I joined a gym!) but when I got home I was greeted with bags and bags of...

making pasta {rustichella d’abruzzo }
Sometimes it takes me a while to digest things. And by things, I’m not talking about food. Luckily I have no problems with cheese or gluten or meat (actually, I have a problem, but it’s not about tolerance). I’m talking about ideas. Often I’m so busy, going from one place to the next, from one...

soups for fall
Even though I love the fun that Summer brings, with visits to the beach, time in the country and just general lazing around, I have a confession to make. I get very excited when the mornings in Rome are cold enough that I have to think about digging out my sweaters. I love fall. It’s...

radicchio + pear {salad}
Domenico and I decided to go to Paris last week, for one last bit of vacation. We actually hadn’t been away together all summer long. In June and July Domenico was basically tied to our house in Rome overseeing much needed renovation of the facade and roof of the building where we live. Yes, it...

coco lezzone {florence}
There are few things I love better than settling in at an old fashioned traditional trattoria. It sounds easy, but is more difficult than you may think. Many trattorie in Italy have either: Changed into something more sophisticated (which is sometimes really great) Changed into a tourist trap (which is always really horrible) Closed (which...

eating + walking in trastevere {rome}
Rarely do I wander aimlessly in Rome. I live here, so I’m usually on my way somewhere. That said, Rome is not so big, and eventually, over the course of a year, I do manage to make my way around a good part of the centro storico, where I live. One neighborhood that has been...

taverna de li caldoro {pacentro – abruzzo}
Some of the best and most surprising meals I’ve had in Italy have been on road trips. Getting from point A to point B allows for stopping off in a place you may never had thought of visiting. Yes, you know there is a great restaurant there, but it’s just too far to get to...

tomato + egg {salad}
Is it too late to post a tomato recipe? Lately everyone has been posting tomato sandwich recipes, so I’ve got that on the brain. To be more precise, what I’ve got on my brain (and want to have on my plate) is that unique texture and taste that happens when you combine tomatoes and mayonnaise....
