Red Pepper and Walnut Sauce
I can’t believe it’s been almost six months already since the last time I posted a new recipe… to the few people that follow this blog, I’m sorry! Anyway, here’s a delicious pasta… Continue reading
Polenta con Funghi Porcini
I’ve always loved polenta since the first time I tried it in a rifugio after a long hike in the Dolomites, and make it semi-regularly as a very cheap, delicious, and quick meal. And… Continue reading
Sweet Zucchini Salad
Now that I get some delicious lettuce in my Abel & Cole box every Wednesday (thanks to my great mom), I’ve finally started enjoying salad again. But no salad I’ve ever made before has… Continue reading
Pasta alle Noci
For this semi-invention of mine, I need to give some credit to my house mate, whose dad happens to be the Walnut Mogul of Eastern Europe – meaning that every time he comes back from… Continue reading
Lisa’s Fettuccine
It’s rare that I find or hear about a recipe and then don’t tweak it a little while I’m actually making it. The only time that I try as hard as possible to… Continue reading
Organic Pepper and Carrot Salad
I had an incredible surprise from my mom last week: a large Abel & Cole fruit & veg box! For those of you that don’t know, Abel & Cole deliver high quality organic… Continue reading
Crispy Roasted Shallots
In traditional Roman restaurants I’ve often come across ‘cipolline fritte’ (which are absolutely delicious), but was never sure exactly what they were or how to make them. As I was feeling inspired today,… Continue reading
Avocado and Agave Salad
I’m not going to lie, I did somewhat steal this recipe from another website (I thought it was from the New York Times and was going to link to the original, but I… Continue reading
Sundried Tomato, Olive, and Caper Crostini
I wanted to make my girlfriend a few different crostini as a starter a while ago, but since I always make mushroom crostini and bruschetta I felt like experimenting with something new. Came up… Continue reading
Breaded Courgette Ciabatta
I realized that I haven’t posted nearly enough recipes of sandwiches, a type of food that I really love. Also, people tend to assume that vegan sandwiches don’t really exist, or that they’re complicated… Continue reading
Pasta e Fagioli
I know today was supposed to be another International recipe, but I’ve left on a trip to Rome and then Paris to bring my cat back to London (long story) and haven’t had… Continue reading
Penne all’Arrabiata
Here’s what I ate more than anything else this past summer in Italy. Unless I was cooking at home, in which case I was most likely making some zucchini pasta, every time I… Continue reading
Wild Mushroom Pasta
I’ve been making a lot of stuff with mushrooms lately, but it’s only because I finally found a place to buy quality mushrooms for very decent prices and I might have gotten over… Continue reading
Sun-dried Tomato and Red Pepper Pesto
Okay so I really think this might be the best thing I’ve ever invented. Although obviously a quick google search proved to me (as usual) that I hadn’t really invented anything – plenty… Continue reading
Chili (American & Vegan)
Surprise! I’ve decided that, while Italian food is still the best (duh), there are some foods from around the world which are simply too great not to veganize. So once a month (on… Continue reading
Tofu and Olive Linguine
Ok so this one is quite interesting. I started off just making a puttanesca, but when I realized that I had no capers and that I had some leftover tofu I thought, whatever,… Continue reading
Garlic Bread
First of all, sorry that once again I haven’t been posting very often. I have made myself a schedule though so from now on I’ll post at least one new recipe per week.… Continue reading
Spinach and Mushroom Pasta
This was a pasta I made on the first day I moved in, I didn’t have all that many ingredients as I had only just done a quick shopping and realized I’d bought… Continue reading
Mushroom Crostini
If you’re ever struggling to come up with an interesting meal to impress someone, mushroom crostini are the perfect antipasto to choose. They’re incredibly easy to make and also taste delicious. They also… Continue reading
Pesto alla Trapanese
For all of you pesto lovers, this is a great variation to the standard pesto alla genovese that we all know and love so dearly. If you feel like pesto, but also feel… Continue reading
A Classic Salad
This is perhaps the most basic you can get in a salad, but to be honest, it’s also my favorite salad. Adding anything else to a salad usually just makes it too complicated.… Continue reading
Spaghetti Aglio Olio e Peperoncino
Ever get home at 4 in the morning, really, really hungry, but way too lazy to make a proper meal – and so resorted to eating all the junk food you could get… Continue reading
Rigatoni alla Puttanesca
Here’s a classic Italian sauce, the puttanesca. It’s supposed to have anchovies, but to be honest I think it tastes better without them anyway, with a little extra olives and capers instead. It’s… Continue reading
