What’s the purpose of a vacation to you? For me it’s a period of time that I dedicate to activities which I normally wouldn’t do. Vacation is a period where I forget work and all that is related to it and I dedicate my time totally to myself, my husband, my home and my personal

Lemon Souffle
Hi everyone, I know that it has been a long time since my last post. And I am sorry for keeping you waiting. I must say that I needed a break from all the crazy things that happened in the last month. There are days when you feel that you absorb all the negativity happening in
Focaccia with Shallots and Basil
I started reading the biography of Gualtiero Marchesi, the founder of the Italian Nouvelle Cuisine. It’s really an inspirational book. It’s about his life and his love for food and cooking. My wish is to meet him, and why not, be able to dine at his restaurant. My next recipe, is a tasty mistake. As
Buckwheat Flour Bread
Bread is something that you miss when you go wheat-free. Especially in Italy, where bread is part of every meal. The Gualano’s explained that when they all were kids, in the house of the not wealthy families, since the food served was not enough to fill the tummies, kids were forced to eat bread to

Feta with shallots, scallions and mint

Lime marinated Steak with Goat Cheese
Let me start by saying that my two summer Cinema nights were absolutely stunning. I was born in 1984, so I wasn’t given the chance to watch The Blues Brothers when it was released for the first time in cinemas. And I also couldn’t see Bob Marley and his movement. So for all these reasons,
