I must admit that one of the things I miss the most about living in the Northern Hemisphere are the seasons. Don’t get me wrong, we have the same seasons down here, but they are “reversed”. In fact, right now, it’s the end of spring. Besides the fact that I will never be able to…

Chestnut Porcini Risotto
I have been living in the Southern Hemisphere for over 10 years now, but I will never get used to the idea that September, October and November are spring months! Every year, when September comes, I feel like eating autumn food like apples, mushrooms, pumpkin, chestnuts and the likes. I doubt I will ever get…
Pasta with Meatballs
Today’s post is really important for me. As you know, I am all for real Italian food. That’s the very reason why I started this blog. I have always stated that Spaghetti with Meatballs is not a classic Italian dish. And I completely stand by it. That said, my mother used to make meatballs in…
Stracchino and Speck Risotto
Today’s recipe is a delicious and almost sinful risotto: Stracchino and Speck Risotto. I love cheese and Stracchino is an Italian mild soft cheese that I adore. And I love Italian Speck.

I am very happy about today’s post, as I will be reviewing one of my all-time favourite restaurants. It’s not a famous or a starred restaurant, but it serves amazing food. Whenever I travel, I don’t care about fancy places, what I look for in a restaurant is genuine local food. I like places where…
