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…
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…
Salty Cake with Ricotta and Asparagus
It’s asparagus season, and we don’t want to miss it, right? 🙂 I usually like to eat asparagus simply as a side dish, just boiled, or sautéed in a cast iron pan, or to prepare a very good Risotto with them. But if you have some time this is also a great way to enjoy…

This recipe has nothing to do with the Pesto Genovese, but it’s not less good 🙂 With “pesto siciliano” often we refer to the recipe made with sun-dried tomatoes (delicious!), but also with good and ripe cherry tomatoes (it’s even more fresh). There are different options, someone for example also use pine nuts…all are very…

It’s Easter again, and like always in my family, I also like to keep the tradition of eating lamb, or even better goat kid. As I wrote already in the previous post, I know many people nowadays are against that, but I grew up with a different background, we always had animals, and I have…
Coratella di Capretto – Sautéed Goat Kid Offal
I know that many people don’t like offal and some are even disgusted of the idea, and many people don’t like to eat lamb and goat kid too, but I grew up in a family where we always had our own animals so I am since always used to eat every part of them. My…

This recipe it’s like having the autumn in your dish, you can really taste the season 🙂 It’s simply a wonderful recipe, originally in the Neapolitan cuisine it is made just with potatoes (Gattò di patate) and filled with ham or salami, and cheese obviously, but it’s a recipe that can be modified in some…
