Due amici in padella – Radicchio di Chioggia e carciofi in teglia
Radicchio al forno is a typical Northern Italian dish. I somehow added a little touch to it, by adding artichokes and topping it all with breadcrumbs, garlic and parsley. Artichokes and radicchio go perfectly well together, the [...]

Un basmati pas comme les autres – Basmati rouge corail aux crevettes, fanes de moutarde et pois
I think by now I must have tried almost all the different kinds of rice on the market, going from basic to fancy. The funny thing is that I am not a big rice eater but when I see a kind I never tasted, [...]

Pom pom pom, envie de pommes – Tarte aux pommes aux raisins secs et calvados
There are as many apple tart recipes, than there are people…I bought tons of apples for my parakeet Pepita (it turned out she is a girl) but then I have ants all over the place, that drives me insane and they go all over [...]

Un cucchiaio o due – Zabaglione con pere caramellizzate
We are still in Italy with this dessert and it’s one of my favorite, I love anything creamy with vanilla but still light. Zabaglione or Zabaione, either way, is a dolce al cucchiaio, meaning a “spoon dessert” or a dessert to eat with a spoon [...]
