Food and Cooking

My love for food started when I was very young.

I come from a family where everyone was always allowed and allowed to eat with me.

It's no wonder we ended up with my own family in Italy where meals are the most important moments of a day and talking about them is the other important activity.

Over the years I have collected and exchanged numerous recipes, adapted and refined them. I have received recipes from fellow villagers, sometimes had to pry them loose, but most of the time they are happy to share. I like to share this with you. Sometimes there is a special story attached to it. You can read that at the bottom of the recipe under 'Nice to know'.
Do you have any questions?
