Celeriac Soup

For this one I have to give pretty much all the credit to my Romanian housemate (yes, the son of the Walnut Mogul of Eastern Europe). I got a celeriac in an Abel &… Continue reading

Sweet Potato and Zucchini Pasta

Since I’ve managed to let more than a month go by since my last post (I’m really sorry, I’ve been distracted by uni work and job applications!) I was very lucky to decide… Continue reading

Tomato Soup

Ever since I discovered how easy it is to make delicious soups, I’ve been making them pretty often, and here’s probably my favorite one to date. This is really easy to make and… Continue reading

Mushroom Soup

I made this for the first time a few months ago when I still didn’t have my camera with me, so I never got to put it up – but it’s about time.… Continue reading

Cherry Tomato and Cream Conchiglie

I know, I know; this isn’t very exciting at all. But I’ve been extremely busy this week between university and my job, and could barely find the time to cook anything at all.… 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

Zucchini and Mint Soup

Ever since I got a hand blender, I’ve been experimenting with making soups – something I’d never even done before a month ago. I don’t even like soups that much, but for some… 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

Supplí allo Zafferano

Although these aren’t the classic supplí, they were, surprisingly, the first ones I ever tried. I’ve wanted to make them for a while, but now that I came back from Egypt with tons… Continue reading

Kalamata and Porcini Risotto

I was in the mood for experimenting the other day, and decided to try a tomato-based risotto, which isn’t exactly a classic in Italy. To take the experiment the extra step, I decided… Continue reading

Creamy Olive Penne

Once again, I’d like to apologize for not posting very often; I promise I’m doing my best to get back on track. But anyway, let’s get to the point: I finally found a… Continue reading

Butternut Squash Risotto

Just another simple risotto, kind of like the pumpkin one but with a very unique tastes. It’s also easier to chop up and is a good way to keep things changing. Like all… Continue reading

Olive Ascolane

To be completely honest, I can’t believe I actually managed to make these. Olive ascolane are a traditional Italian food from le Marche, but which are everywhere in Rome as well. One of… 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

Aubergine and Pine Nut Pasta

This is an extremely tasty pasta, which also happens to be quite nutritious. I came up with this pretty much by just picking random ingredients that I felt like eating and combining it… 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

Exotic Mushroom Risotto

If you like mushrooms, this is the recipe for you. And if you like risotto too, well, then I think this might just become your favorite food. I love risotto in general, but… 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

Croquettes with Mushroom Sauce

I’m not going to lie, I feel kind of like a fraud for posting this because it’s practically the same as a recipe I got from a cookbook my mom just gave me.… Continue reading

Tortiglioni al Ragú

Ragú is probably one of the most world-famous recipes for pasta, although you probably know it as Bolognese sauce. Although there are some technical differences between the two, they are minimal – and… Continue reading

Spicy Mushroom and Sausage Pasta

I know, I know, I make way too much stuff with mushroom and sausages. But since it’s so easy, cheap, and tasty, after I made this for myself I thought I might as… Continue reading

Sweet Potato Risotto

Sweet potatoes don’t actually exist in Italy, so this isn’t really a traditional Italian recipe. However, I love sweet potatoes and at the end of the day it’s still a risotto made in… Continue reading
