My Italian Comfort Food
September holidays are over and I come back home from Romagna full of flavors of the sea … but not only. The greatest gift I take home is the cassoni legendary recipe! The so-called “younger brothers” of piadina but certainly not for me who ate it in abundance. For those unfamiliar with them, these are […]
This is a real #childhoodmemory! Notoriously, it is not that I was really a #vegetables lover but I already had a boundless passion for cooking fueled by the legendary chef Guerrino (who remembers him ???)

Fortunately, I’ve found the time to make the cake to celebrate my baby’s 2nd month, incredible! … Well, I’ve learnt it’s good to be optimistic (especially when friends give you a baby wrap that guarantees 10 minutes of “hands free” so coveted by new mothers like me). Although it is a delicious tart filled […]
