blackberry cobbler
I’m back! Well, actually I’m still on holiday for the next week, in Umbria, but I’ll be working at the same time. The miracle of being able to do my work from where ever I am. What have I been up to? A lot of cooking and eating, of course. But I’ve also been doing...

eating in rome in august {2014}
I’m still on vacation, and this is not a ‘real’ post. Just a quick note to tell you that not only am I on vacation, most of Rome is too. The great exodus is happening and Rome is as empty as you’ll ever be likely to find it. This means blessedly empty piazzas and streets....

vacanza {time off}
Italy pretty much shuts down for the month of August. Since my life is my work and my work is my life, I rarely shut down completely. But for the rest of the month I’ve decided to take things down a notch, at least here on the blog. Rather than post three times a week,...

tramezzini + cocktails at amblè {florence}
I’m always on the look out for a good neighborhood bar. The perfect one has plenty of cozy, comfortable seating – both inside and out. It goes without saying that I want well made cocktails, right? But good nibbles are also a deal breaker. And if everything could be well designed without looking as if...

caponata in positano {bread salad at pupetto}
Even though my beach vacation in Positano seems a distant memory, and I’m writing this from the landlocked confines of Umbria, I’m still playing catch up here on the blog. One thing I did take away (besides memories) is recipes. And today’s blog is all about one of my favorites: Caponata. You’re probably thinking “What’s...

urbana 47 {breakfast in rome}
I’m not very social in the morning. It’s not that it takes me a long time to wake up. Actually, just the opposite. I wake up, and while sipping my first cup of coffee, it’s the quite time in the first hours of the day that I find most productive. That’s when I get the...

squid + walnut salad {positano}
The other evening I was out to dinner in Rome with friends. We were laughing, eating and just having fun. You know, just out to dinner. Then one of my friends said “I love it how you’ve managed to turn your everyday life into your job. You are always working, no matter what. You must...

fresh cranberry beans {soup + salad}
I’ve done it again. Succumbed to bright and pretty at the Farmers Market. While I should have just bought a couple of kilos of these brilliantly colored, fresh cranberry beans in their pods, I ended up walking away with the entire crate. Can you blame me? I’ve spoken in the past about the superiority of...

garden on the amalfi coast
Even though my body is back in Rome this week, my soul is still hanging out at a garden on the Amalfi coast. Can you blame me? We spent most of our time last week in Positano, at a fantastic apartment cleverly rented by Gillian. I’ll be getting to Positano next week, but in the...

zucchini + ricotta {salad}
I warned you that more zucchini recipes were coming. Because zucchinis. Just. Don’t. Stop. Just when you think you’ve harvested the last one, there’s another - small, cute and shiny – hiding under a big floppy leaf. My favorite, laziest, easiest recipe is to eat them practically raw. They get marinated in lemon juice for...
