seared broccolo romano {soup}
Some of my favorite recipes are the ones that provide me with an ‘aha’ moment. The recipes that make me think: I would have never thought of that! What a great idea! More often than not, they are about some new technique that I’ll end up adopting and using over and over again, even if...

massimo micheluzzi {glass + venice}
When we were up in Venice a few weeks ago it wasn’t all about the food. Even though I was busy updating Eat Venice, what we had really come to do was meet Emma and see the architecture Biennale. While most of you know me as someone whose life revolves around food, I also have...

jerusalem artichokes + sage
Every year we kind of forget about our crop of Jerusalem artichokes. They blossom in the summer, with the flowers looking like sunflowers. Then the flowers fade, the stalks dry out, and we make a mental note to dig up the roots in the fall. I’m not quite sure where we file that mental note,...

ceramic museum {deruta}
I realize that most people head to Deruta to shop. With hundreds of small workshops making – and selling – some of the most beautiful hand painted ceramics in Italy, it’s hard not to spend money. Some people I know (and I’m not naming any names here, but you know who you are) will even...

pumpkin pasta + liver sausage
Remember I told you I had pumpkin on the brain lately? Even though I didn’t get it together this year to make a pumpkin pie, I’ve been making up for it in other, savory, ways. When you say pumpkin to an American the first thing they think of is pie, right? Or maybe muffins or...

how to make involtini {video}
One of the things I’ve decided to focus on with these new cooking videos are dishes that I make at home all the time. Why? I figure that this whole video making thing is a giant learning curve. Between the filming, lighting, editing and writing, the one thing I don’t want to have to worry...

butternut squash gnudi {sage + pancetta}
American holidays are funny things for an expat. Sometimes they mean a lot. And sometimes? It’s just another Thursday. Some years I’ve gone all out, making a huge Thanksgiving feast out in Todi, getting a turkey (or a goose, or a capon) worthy of our wood burning oven and then inviting enough people over to...

venice cicchetti tour {monica cesarato}
Italian isn’t a particularly difficult language to learn. You pronounce things how you read them, and the grammar is a whole lot easier to get the gist of than English. But some words, the ones that apply to very specific Italian cultural moments, are harder to translate. Passeggiata for instance, means taking a walk. But as...

love birds + little flowers {deruta ceramics}
Last week I went up to Deruta for the day from Rome. It’s actually not that far, 2 hours door to door. But I would never have even considered it if not for the fact that two of my long time clients asked me if I would go with them. Sounded like a great idea...
