red cabbage + kohlrabi {slaw}
I’ve been thinking about color a lot the last few weeks since I’m moving my office and have had to make the semi-permanent decision of choosing how to paint the walls. Out of that sentence the first thing you’re probably thinking is ‘she has an office?’ Yes, even though I’ve always worked from home, I’ve...

how to make carbonara {video}
Even though I’ve written about making carbonara in the past, it’s such a fundamental part of my life - and Roman cooking – that I think you’ll bear with me if I post about one of my all time favorite dishes one more time. Carbonara is one of those iconic dishes that are seemingly simple,...

kale + clementine + almond {salad}
Most people don’t think of fall or winter as salad time. But cold weather salads are some of my favorites. Hearty and crunchy greens paired with fruit and nuts are usually what I’m craving for lunch. One of my favorite winter greens is cavolo nero, or Tuscan Kale. I came home from the Farmer’s Market...

spaghetti {zucchini + pecorino}
It was Friday night and I was supposed to meet my friend Peggy for a drink around 7. I’m not sure how my brain works sometimes, but I thought “wouldn’t it just be easier if Peggy, and her husband Tod, came for dinner.” Like, you know, having an impromtu dinner party is a lot easier...

la palanca {venice}
This past weekend we went up to Venice to meet Emma. She’s studying interior design in London, and really wanted to see the Architecture Biennale before it closed. While we spent two full days at the Biennale, we also managed (of course) to eat way too much. While it’s hard to keep my app Eat...

{not} buying antique ceramics in ostuni
I know I go on and on about ceramics. If you follow this blog then you know I’ve got a serious addiction thing going on. The only thing stopping me from indulging (besides cost, that is) is space. Unless I start buying new cupboards to store them in, I can’t fit one more plate/cut/bowl/platter in...

la puritate {gallipoli}
After loading up on ceramics in Cutrofiano, we continued heading west towards the sea. Dena’s goal for Saturday was to see two seas in one day. Since Puglia is a peninsula it’s actually not that difficult to make the drive from the Ionian coast to the Adriatic. So lunch in Gallipoli (that would be...

cibus {ceglie messapica – puglia}
We hit the ground running when we arrived in Puglia last weekend. Our friends picked us up at the Brindisi train station and we headed directly to Ceglie Messapica, a small town about a 45 minute drive away. We chose it for two reasons: First, it was near enough to Brindisi to be able to...

ceramics in puglia {cutrofiano}
This past weekend was one of the funnest, and most relaxing short trips I’ve had in a long time. One of my best and oldest friends, Martha, rented a villa in Puglia and invited us down to join her and her family for a few nights. One of the reasons that it was so much...
