Canederli, also known locally as Knödel, are bread dumplings typical of the area of South Tyrol, even though similar versions are found in Austrian, German, Hungarian, Croatian and Czech cuisines. The classic Italian recipe calls for Italian Speck, which is a smoked prosciutto typical of the area and they are traditionally served in broth as…
PESTO LASAGNE
I am very excited about today’s recipe. The reason is simple: it is one of my all time favourite dishes. I have always loved lasagne, but growing up I had always only eaten the classic meat version. It wasn’t until I was a teenager that I had my first lasagne with pesto. I was at…

SALSA VERDE
Today’s Regional Italian dish is Salsa verde (“green sauce”), a very famous Italian condiment that is used to serve poached meats, poultry and, sometimes, fish. It is a lovely sauce, slightly tangy and very tasty. It is also quite healthy and full of vitamins thanks to its main ingredient: parsley. This is a traditional recipe from…
PORCINI, SPECK AND POTATO SAVOURY PIE
Today’s recipe is great in every season. The ingredients are perfect for the cooler months, but the fact that you can eat it cold (or at room temperature), makes it perfect for the warmer months too. I actually love to take this to picnics and barbecues when the season is right, but it is also…

PEAR AND GORGONZOLA RISOTTO
If you follow this blog more or less regularly, you already know I have a huge love for blue cheese. And to me, gorgonzola is the king of blue cheeses… I guess I am also biased as I was born not too far from a place called Gorgonzola, from where the cheese supposedly originates. I…
GREEN TAGLIATELLE WITH TUNA AND RICOTTA
Today I want to share with you a dish that is very dear to my heart. It is a very simple recipe, but if made with home made pasta it can be a little bit more labour intensive (but so much worth it!). The reason why I love it so much is because it reminds…
BAKED SWORDFISH INVOLTINI
I must admit I am not a huge fish lover. Well, actually that is not exactly true as there is a lot of fish that I do enjoy eating, but the majority of it is very hard to find around here! So, I tend to eat mainly salmon or swordfish, which have always come to…
STUFFED CAPSICUMS – PEPERONI RIPIENI
I love capsicums (or bell peppers!), I always have. I like them in any shape or form and made in any sorts of ways, but this is by far my favourite recipe. My mum would make these often, and the house would be filled with the aromas of baked capsicums… yum! So hearthy! The filling…
Polenta Concia
Turn simple polenta into Polenta Concia, a baked northern Italian main from Lombardia with Gorgonzola, Fontina, Parmigiano Reggiano, and butter.
FAGIOLI ALL’UCCELLETTO
Today’s Regional Italian dish is from Tuscany and more specifically from the beautiful city of Florence. It is a very simple yet tasty recipe that can be served as a vegetarian/vegan main dish or, as it is common in Tuscany, as a side to barbecued Italian sausages. Fagioli all’uccelletto is an ancient recipe made of…
FOCACCIA AL POMODORO – CHERRY TOMATO FOCACCIA
After sharing with you the Basic Focaccia recipe, the recipe for Focaccia with Olives and the one for Onion Focaccia, today I am going to post the recipe for another one of my favourites: Focaccia al pomodoro (aka cherry tomato focaccia)! I remember as a child going to the baker right after school and buying a piece…

A hearty simmer brings out a rich, rounded taste in Cavatelli al Ragù di Maiale, turning simple ingredients into a warming pasta bowl.
FALSOMAGRO
When I think of Sunday lunches as a child, I think of this dish. I guess you could say this was our family’s equivalent of a Sunday roast. My mum would often prepare this when we had friends over and it has always been one of my all time favourite meat dishes. When I moved…
PUMPKIN GNOCCHI WITH BUTTER AND SAGE
I love making flavoured gnocchi and these pumpkin gnocchi are particularly tasty. They are actually made with a mix of potatoes and pumpkin, so they are as soft and pillowy as potato gnocchi, with a hint of pumpkin flavour and colour. Don’t they look beautiful? I like to make these especially in autumn/winter when pumpkins…
