    One of the best dishes from Campania, fried zucchini marinated in oil, vinegar and mint (ala scapece).
    In this version the zucchini are coupled with hand made penne made with stone milled flour, dressed with dry ricotta cheese and served cold… a great dish in our warm summers.

  • Greek yoghurt mousse with wood berries and crumble

    We all like to eat a nice dessert after a good meal, but we often have to fight with our health or diet… and you know who is the winner.
    This is not the case!! Low-fat Greek yogurt, (naturally low-fat) ricotta, no sugar added, the only unhealthy parts are shortbread and a little butter, but they are nothing compared to the whole dessert and its great and refreshing taste.
    Try it, you won’t regret it!

  • Fried sage leaves

    20 mins. plus the batter rest time

    A pretty unique and great appetizer, it was more common some decade ago, today fried zucchini flowers are way more common.
    Although I make fried sage almost every year at home (only when my sage delivers large leaves) I don’t see this dish on a menu since the last century!

    Some dishes immediately have the power to evocate memories.. this is one of those. When I was a young kid my grandma used to make it when I visited her on the Adriatic coast. That was a great breakfast. My grandma used lard as an ingredient, I used butter and replaced half of the sugar with a whole brown one, making it darker, a bit healthier, and with a pleasant licorice taste.
    It”s a quick and easy dish, I even cook it in the air fryer to do it faster!
