venice restaurants {my top five}
I can always tell it’s a Biennale year in Venice without looking at the calendar. Every two years, on April 1, I begin to get emails from just about everyone I know in the art world. Many are good friends, some are artists I used to know in New York, and others are simply readers...

artichokes + potatoes
By now you are well aware of my artichoke obsession. I love to photograph them, eat them, cook them, share them. I’ve even invented my own personal hashtag to elevate them to trending status on instagram: #carciofogram. As much as I love these green and purple globes, I do realize that they are a pain...

sausage, onion + goat cheese {pasta}
Domenico and I are creatures of habit. We get into a routine and then happily don’t think much about the things we do, day after day, week after week. And we both love this routine, (which is why we love each other I guess). For instance, every Sunday, after we’ve had our morning coffee, read...

pasticceria barberini {rome}
I’m not sure how a place that serves bite sized portions of tiramisu in edible chocolate cups escaped my attention for so long, but I’d like to apologize for this lapse in reporting. These little bites are from a pastry shop that I’d passed by hundreds of times (it’s a few doors down from one...

artichokes + fave beans
When someone calls and tells you that they spent the morning picking wild greens along the banks of the Tiber in Umbria for you, you run, don’t walk, to that person’s side. That happened last week when Salvatore Denaro gave me a call. Like all telephone conversations with Salvatore, it started in what seemed to be...

baked fennel + pecorino
During most of fennel’s long season I’m more than happy to slice it thinly and toss it with olive oil, salt and maybe some cut up lemons or oranges. That is lunch for me, at least a few times a week, for most of the winter. I love the crunch of the fennel, combined with...

orecchiette + turnip + greens {pasta}
One of the iconic dishes of Bari is orecchiette con le cime di rapa. Since Domenico is from Bari it was essential that I learn how to make this dish early on in our marriage. It took a while, but after a few yeas of watching his mother do it, I finally mastered the fine...

apple strudel in umbria {video}
If you don’t see desserts on this blog very often there is a reason. I usually never think of baking unless there is company coming over. That’s because, during the week or in the course of normal life I try to eat within reason. Since I go out to restaurants so often, and definitely over...

bean soup {with drippings}
I’ve been on a bit of a bean soup binge this winter. Even though I’m not currently, nor ever have been experiencing the kind of winter my sisters and friends (and you?) are on the East Coast this year, there is still something comforting about a big pot of bean soup bubbling away even in...
