anchovies {sea to table}
I know I go on and on about quality, but there is a reason. The way I cook, and the recipes I publish here on this blog, often have just a handful of ingredients. And when your dish is made up of just 4 or 5 ingredients, if those ingredients aren’t the best you can...

le frit c’est chic {abruzzo}
When I have a choice I almost always opt for casual over formal. But in the summer? If I can keep my bathing suit on and flip flops are required, then I’m there. Last week, while I was in Abruzzo, I had many meticulously prepared, pasta-centric meals all over the region while I was being...

da romano {burano – venice}
My main aim in exploring the islands in the Venetian lagoon was to get away from the massive amount of tourists that clog the alleyways of the main part of the city. Heading out to Mazzorbo, Torcello, Burano and beyond was my idea of getting off the beaten track. This usually worked very well. But...

trattoria di oscar {bevagna}
The last thing I think about when heading out to lunch in Umbria is style, elegance or sophistication. Eating out in Umbria is usually all about rustic. It can be rustic with a hint of formality or rustic as in sit by the side of the road and watch the trucks go by rustic. But...

my newest app – eat umbria
One of the reasons I launched my new app Eat Italy 3 months ago was that it allowed me to offer you new and updated software to support my original trio of apps, Eat Rome, Eat Florence and Eat Venice. But what I was really excited about was the chance to add new cities and...

how to make a bellini {locanda cipriani – torcello}
In my mission to get out of the center of Venice and onto the lesser trafficked islands, there was one place I knew I wanted to revisit: Torcello. Torcello is located in the upper reaches of the lagoon, just north of Mazzorbo and Burano. When the vaporetto lets you off, there is no choice: take...

dining on the eolo {venetian lagoon}
As much as I love Venice there is a flip side to its charms. Yes, the watery city is impossibly romantic and the beauty can bring you to tears. But you know what else can bring you to tears? The crowds. As tourism all over the world reaches new and dizzying heights, Venice is almost...

osteria la zucca {venice}
During my most recent trip to Venice I had two objectives. The first was to explore the lagoon, getting out of the main city of Venice to visit some of the lesser known islands far from the hoards of tourists. I’ll be telling you more about that later. My second objective was in some senses easier,...

zucchini recipe roundup
It’s zucchini season big time. We are right in the midst of it. If you have a vegetable garden then you are probably at the giving-them-away stage. And if you have a CSA? Then I’m sure you’re receiving your body weight in zucchini by now. But even if all you’re doing is heading to the...

roasted eggplant {herbs + mozzarella}
If you’ve noticed that I haven’t been posting recipes lately on my blog, it’s for a simple reason. I haven’t been cooking. We are currently suffering through a heatwave here in Rome and the thought of even entering my kitchen, much less turning on any form of heat, is just too scary to contemplate. So...
