al pompiere {rome}
You know when you spend a long time with someone, you can finish most of their stories yourself? Of course this happens when you are married to someone for a quarter of a century (that would be me). But even more than long time spouses? What about those stories that your siblings or parents tell?...

broccoli, lemon + hazelnut {pasta}
When life gives you lemons my philosophy is to use them in as many ways as is humanely possible. Once again I found myself with more lemons than I could possibly wish for. And not just any lemons. Lemons picked and brought to me straight from Ravello, on the Amalfi coast. Domenico is working on...

la bitta {venice}
I know fish is supposed to be the only thing you eat while in Venice, but given the fact that much of the seafood is actually shipped in from afar, it’s only natural that there should be some good meaty places to go, right? La Bitta is a cozy little restaurant that not only specializes...

fennel + orange salad {video}
I’ve written about my passion for fennel and orange salad in the past. It’s a combination that I can’t get enough of this time of year. While I love the big, fat crisp fennel bulbs , what I really get excited about are the oranges. An orange a day is much more exciting than a boring old apple,...

pumpkin + beans
I love pumpkin as much as anyone. I love the color, I love the taste, and I love the shapes and sizes they come in. I put it in pasta, in risottos and soups. I love it stuffed into ravioli and can’t get enough of hearty pumpkin gnudi. But I have a confession to make. After...

dar filettaro {rome}
There’s been a lot of talk regarding Rome street food lately. Suppli, pizza al taglio and more panini places than you can count. You would think that street food has been ‘rediscovered’ by a new generation . But there’s one place that has been serving the same simple, quick and cheap Roman street food for...

making cheese + pasta {cacio e pepe}
Most days I feel like there are not enough hours to get everything on my ‘to do’ list done. I look at the clock and all of a sudden it’s 7pm and time to start thinking about dinner. How did that happen? But then there are other days that are so full of amazing, wonderful things...

dried fave + tuscan kale {soup}
One of my favorite dishes from Puglia is almost a non recipe: Fave e cicoria. This is one of the first dishes that Domenico told me about when we first met and were talking about food he grew up with. It was a dish I really didn’t ‘get’ until I had it made by his...

la pergola {rome}
I admit that I visit restaurants more often than most people. Between research for my apps, and content for my blog, I get around a lot. But the restaurants I go to, more often than not, are not on the fancy, Michelin-starred side of things. There are a few reasons for this. One of the...

roast carrot + red lentil {soup}
Sometimes the best intentions don’t always lead you where you thought you’d arrive. When I saw a crate full of rainbow hued carrots at the market I of course thought: these will make a gorgeous photograph. I also thought, someone naively it turns out, that they would make a very colorful soup as well. To...
