Supplí allo Zafferano

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
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

Polpettone

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

Tortas Fritas (Argentine & Vegan)
I went on a 10-day hike once in Patagonia, one of the most beautiful regions not only in Argentina but, in my opinion, in the world. Throughout the whole trip, we never met… 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
Risotto alle Mele
This is a very popular family recipe. My grandmother used to make this all the time and its success makes for great family stories told over summer lunches. My version of this recipe… Continue reading
Penne all’Arrabiata

Pepper and Tomato Pasta
My mom had always told me that peppers and pasta don’t go well together, except for a few very specific mixes with blue cheese and cream. Since she was never wrong about anything… Continue reading
Blue Hokkaido Pumpkin Ravioli
There are some times when I just can’t believe that I actually let myself do something so ridiculous. I had three hours before work and for some reason I decided that I wanted… 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
