Orange Chicken Recipe

Orange Chicken Recipe

I prepared this lemon and orange chicken recipe yesterday morning because I was going out and return home at lunch time. I woke up early (6:15am). Does it happen to you to awake at about 5, 5:30 and don’t be able to sleep again? After […]

My Favorite Tuscan Soup – Ribollita

My Favorite Tuscan Soup – Ribollita

This Tuscan soup is not only my favorite, it is also the most known one. It is called ribollita, which means “boiled again”, as it originates as a poor dish, prepared with the vegetables one had in the own vegetable garden. It was prepared in […]

Pearled Barley With Roasted Tomatoes

Pearled Barley With Roasted Tomatoes

I used to prepare pearled barley as a rich risotto, with sausage, mushrooms and some more ingredients. Very tasty. I have to look for that recipe, as I haven’t prepared it during these last years. Even if it is good, it is a very “rich” […]

Delicious Fake Eggplant Parmigiana

Delicious Fake Eggplant Parmigiana

Why a fake eggplant parmigiana? Because it tastes like the best eggplant parmigiana, but you don’t have to fry the eggplant! I try the more I can to avoid frying. Not only for the mess in the kitchen (I do a mess the same), but […]

I tried this stuffed eggplant recipe the day I saw it on an Italian online food magazine. And prepared it twice in a week :-). Yes, during Summertime we are surrounded by eggplants (and tomatoes and zucchini) here in Italy. They are a healthy vegetable, […]

My cous cous inspired by Chef Pomata

My cous cous inspired by Chef Pomata

I began to eat couscous only a couple of years ago. I don’t know why I hadn’t tried it before as I love it now. For me, couscous is a healthy and light dish. Even if its characteristics are similar to pasta ones, I find […]

My Light Gorgonzola Sauce

My Light Gorgonzola Sauce

This is a light gorgonzola sauce. Why? Because I always try to save calories when possible. The gorgonzola is a delicious cheese that has its fat and doesn’t need more. Why add cream? I prefer this lighter version that keeps all the taste and flavor. […]

Delicious & Easy Tuna Patties

Delicious & Easy Tuna Patties

I prepared these easy tuna patties just because I had some ricotta in the fridge that needed to be used. My children were home and they love tuna and so I didn’t worry as they would be eaten the same. What I didn’t imagine was […]
