proloco DOL {rome}
It used to be pretty easy keeping up with the restaurant scene in Rome, since it really didn’t change that much. I’m not exaggerating when I say that some of the same waiters who I knew as a child are still serving in the same restaurants that I now go to with my own kids. And...

broccoletti {rome}
Our neighborhood Monti keeps getting better and better. Yes, I’m sad that many of the small artisans shops that were here when we first moved in have closed, but that’s happening not only all over Rome, but all over the world. Sad but true. But at least for now, most of the newer places that...

fried zucchini flowers
I know at this point you’re probably getting a little tired of me talking about Salavatore. But we got to hang out a lot last month, and naturally this translated into good food. One thing Salvatore is incapable of doing is arriving somewhere without the gift of food. I’ve already told you what happened when...

le sirenuse champagne + oyster bar {positano}
During our most recent trip to Positano we had a completely relaxed, laid back and fantastic time. The greatest part of the trip was that we were with good friends who enjoyed alternating from our swim suits to our at-home wear as much as we did. We were complete beach potatoes and did nothing but...

green beans, potatoes + olives
Lately I’ve found myself in a bit of a green bean rut. My go to recipe is to steam them, and then toss them in a bowl while still warm, with some combination of onions, tomatoes and garlic (although I sometimes add a bit of meat). Loads of olive oil and lemon juice turns it...

vineria san fortunato {todi}
Even though I love staying home when we are at our house in Umbria, and cooking straight from the garden, there gets to be a point every summer when I say basta. I just need a night off where I don’t have to cook or wash dishes (although I’m very good at inviting guests who...

red currant + plum {cake}
Sometimes a treasured recipe can take on an entirely new dimension by changing one ingredient. I’ve been making Marcella Hazan’s Farm Wive’s Fresh Pear Tart for about 30 years now. I’ve already written about it here, and admitted that I rarely make it with the pears it calls for. I usually stick to apples, but...

salvatore denaro makes a frittata {video}
I thought I knew just about everything there was to know about making a frittata. I’ve written about them so many times on the blog (here, here, here and here) that it’s a bit embarrassing doing it one more time. But this one is different. Way different. So different in fact that I’ve even made...

enoteca l’alchimista {montefalco}
We spend every August at our house in Umbria and – after about 20 years – our routine is pretty much the same. If you can call it a routine. We don’t do much at all. Walks in the morning, swimming in the afternoon, and lots of cooking and eating. The one thing we almost...
