Have you ever been in Liguria region, for example in Cinque Terre, or in Genoa? And did you try that Focaccia (in the local dialect Fügassa) you can find everywhere there, that one with the holes”? 🙂 If you didn’t I’m very sorry 😀 but it’s really a great thing and you should try it….

Pheasant Soup, with Ravioli filled with its Meat and Porcini Mushrooms / Brodo di Fagiano con Ravioli
I think all of you know what is a pheasant, but maybe not everyone know that you can make a very good and delicate broth with it 🙂 and with a beautiful golden color. It’s more a “cold weather” recipe maybe, but since I realized that I still had a pheasant in the freezer and…
Crostata di Ricotta e Visciole – Crostata With Ricotta and Morello/Sour Cherries
I think I already said that Crostata is probably my favorite cake, and this is a crostata with a plus 🙂 It’s a recipe typical of the city of Rome, and more precisely of the Jewish ghetto, and even more precisely it seems (it is said) it has been first created by the very old…
Lasagne with Grilled Eggplants and Ricotta
Finally there are a lot of good eggplants now…I use to wait this season to prepare one of my favorite recipes: Parmigiana di melanzane 🙂 But I try to fry as less as possible, so I’m not doing it so often 🙂 This is a very good alternative, the grilled eggplants are lighter than the…
Cannelloni with Ricotta and Spinach
This is another very popular recipe in Italy 🙂 It takes a while to make it, but it’s quite simple and not difficult at all. Remember to buy enough spinach, because once you cook/boil them, very little remains 🙂 Once again, instead of ricotta I used an artisanal Orda, which is very similar and it’s…
Stroscia of Pietrabruna
This is one of the best cakes I ever did 🙂 I really love it and it’s so simple, but the flavor explodes in your mouth and stays for so long! It is also one of the countless old traditional regional recipes of Italy which are “traditionally vegan” 🙂 It was, at the time, a…
“Casatella Terracinese” – Crostata with Ricotta, Coffee and Anise Liqueur
Ricotta is an ingredient that you can find in many cake recipes especially in central-southern Italy, and many traditional Easter cakes have it. The most famous of them is probably the Pastiera, typical of Naples. This cake is also an Easter cake, and it’s typical of the town of Terracina (from which it takes its name),…
Agnolotti al Brasato – Pasta Filled with Braised Beef
Christmas arrived and like every year I love to prepare the traditional good recipes of this feast 🙂 since I’m Italian I do Italian recipes, usually the ones of my area of origin, but from north to south in Italy there are countless traditional recipes for Christmas so sometimes I like to pick also recipes…
Quiche with Romanesco Broccoli
Few days ago I went to my usual vegetable store and I was surprised to find a Romanesco broccoli also here 🙂 It’s a very beautiful vegetable, and it’s also healthy because is rich with antioxidants and C-vitamin. It’s part of the same family of the cauliflower, but it has a more delicate flavor. Usually…
Pissaladière
Today I’m going to write about a very good “kind of” French pizza, the Pissaladière 🙂 if you say pizza you usually don’t think to France, but they have this traditional recipe which is very interesting. More precisely is a traditional recipe of Nice area (so Southern France, bordering Italy), which indeed in the past…
Homemade Bread, with only 2 g Yeast
I love bread. A good bread I mean 🙂 it’s the basic food since always, and it can enhance whatever you eat next to eat. Since long time I wanted to try to make it by my own, but for many reasons I never did before. I’m studying about it since long time (I’m quite…
Mákos Guba – Hungarian Poppy Seed Bread Pudding, with Vanilla Custard
This is an easy Hungarian dessert, to prepare fresh at the moment you need and to enjoy warm (but even when cooled down it’s good too) 🙂 and this time it was my wife to cook this recipe 🙂 Till I lived in Italy I never used poppy seeds, but here in Hungary is…
