Chicken Cacciatore – Pollo alla Cacciatora
Here it is another recipe of the Italian tradition, a dish you can find probably through all the country with some variations, but the concept is the same. It’s very easy and it requires few ingredients typical of our cuisine, and important is to have a good chicken too 🙂 INGREDIENTS (2 people): 1 chicken,…
Panissa (or Paniccia)
This is one of those old recipes that were called “poor recipes”, but as all those recipes, poor or not, they are just as delicious as they are simple 🙂 And it couldn’t be more simple, basically 2 ingredients! It’s about like making a polenta, then to fry (but there is also who prefer to…
Mormore All’Acqua Pazza – Poached Sea Fish
Here it is another very simple and easy recipe, but that delivers always a great result 🙂 as always is important to choose a good fish and other ingredients, but it’s really simple to execute and I can tell you that you can really taste the sea! The name “acqua pazza” literally means “crazy water“,…
Minestra di Tenerumi – Soup with Sicilian Courgette Leaves
This year we decided to try for the first time to grow in our garden the “Serpente di Sicilia”, a very nice and particular vegetable of the Gourd family that is typical of Sicily. Its scientific name is Lagenaria longissima. But the particularity of this specific vegetable it’s also that its leaves are edible, and…

Crostata di Lamponi (e Crema Pasticcera alla Menta) – Raspberry Cake

Risi e Bisi (with Goose Confit) – Risi e Bisi, con Oca in Onto
When it comes the season of fresh peas, one of the very first recipes that come to my mind is this traditional recipe of Veneto region 🙂 It might seem a risotto, but it’s not made with the usual process of the risotto. The rice is not usually first toasted, and all the soup is…
“Roastbeef Style” Fallow Deer
I am sure that many people heard about the classic English roast beef recipe, that nice piece of beef cooked medium or medium/rare, and then usually served cold and thin sliced. But I saw on some hunters groups that it was possible to do it also with game meat, so since I had at home…
Torta di Pane – Stale Bread Cake
I love bread, good bread I mean, but not always I can eat it all 🙂 not a problem, we always do breadcrumbs that we always need in the kitchen, but this is another good way to use old stale bread 🙂 actually it’s not a recipe, it’s one of those things that people in…
Százrétű Kalács (a Type of Hungarian Layer Cake)
This is a Hungarian recipe that I was thinking to try since a while, and finally today I decided to do it.

Dödölle, with Spring Onions and Porcini
Here I am with a new post about Hungarian recipes. And it’s another one I really like it 🙂 Dödölle are, let’s say, kind of gnocchi, but they are then usually cooked in a pan with pork lard until they make a nice crust. Usually they are served as a main dish with a lot…
