This is the season of the asparagus, so, let’s run to buy some of them and let’s do something good 🙂 Asparagus can be cooked in many ways, but the best ways are the simple ones, where we are not going to cover too much its delicate taste: this risotto I think it’s one of those…

I'm Italian, together with my wife we are photographers, and as for many other Italians food is also a main passion :)
In my blog you will find what I usually eat, recipes of the italian tradition, but not only :)
Eggplant Cream (Italian version)
This is one of my favorite creams to spread on a good bread, as appetizer or also as a simple but delicious dinner, next to some other fresh vegetables for example 🙂 It’s very common in southern Italy, but not only, and from region to region is possible to find it with different aromatic herbs,…
Gnocchi with Sheep Meat Sauce
This is a typical dish you can find in many regions of central Italy, where still nowadays (luckily!) there are a lot of sheeps. As everyone knows, sheep meat has a stronger taste than usual meats, it’s used to say that or you love it or you hate it, personally I love it. I’m going…
Risotto with European Perch
The European perch is one of my favorite fish, sure is one of the best between the freshwater fish, it’s part of the same family of the zander/walleye, and its fillets are completely boneless (and quite easy to make), so it’s perfect for many kind of recipes. Risotto with European perch is a very common recipe from…
Carbonade Flamande (Flemish Stew)

Frittata di Spinaci (Frittata with Spinach)
Finally, frittata! 🙂 Frittata is a typical recipe for the dinner in Italy (famous is the “frittatona con cipolle” in Fantozzi, a very famous comic movie in Italy), but also for picnics….indeed it’s very good also when is cold, maybe inside a sandwich made with a good ciabatta 🙂 It is used to say that…
Spaghetti with Colatura di Alici
This is a recipe typical of southern Italy, it’s very simple, healthy and fast to do, and it’s one of my favorite recipes. Since the sauce is a cold sauce, you just need a pot to boil the pasta (and a pan for the bread, ok). As many other Italian recipes, it’s based on few…
