Imagine a culinary escapade that’s not just about fulfilling a lasagne craving but embarking on a flavor-filled odyssey. After a lasagne hiatus of 2-3 years, the inspiration has struck, and now, my kitchen is buzzing with creativity. Barely 10 days have passed since my last culinary masterpiece, and this time, […]

To find land seaweed (or barba di frate in Italian) is a real treat….which I definitely don’t miss out on. This vegetable looks like a mixture of chives and seaweed…comes with quite strong roots, which need to be carefully removed before cooking. Some add anchovies to the mixture, I prefer […]
A quick weekday dinner with some of the best spring has to offer: cime di rape and new potatoes. As Italian, I felt this dish needed a traditional Italian sausage to complete it.
This is a perfect weekday receipe for all the pasta lovers out there: it is quickly put together and sooo tasty – the lemon gives this dish the freshness, while the creamy chèvre makes it umami. Obviously you can play around with the ingredients and use any cheese and most […]
With all the left over spicy olives we had and the fact that we ran out of our home made taralli (see my post from April 26), I decided to make some breadsticks, where I can use up not only the spicy olives, but also a good part of the […]
The weather has turned to be rather wet and cold again (thank God, as we needed the rain sooo badly) and this calls for more comforting food. Try to get a real Italian spicy sausage…the flavour of it will make all the difference for this dish. As you can see […]
Had the chance to get some typical Zurich saussages yesterday, Wiedikerli with fennel seeds, which only needed a colourful and hearty side dish. The waxy potatos needed using, so did the fennel and therefore I decided to prepare this none-mayonnaise potato salad. The leftovers gave a lovely lunch today.
As you can see, I am in my weekend mode…projects that are a bit more elaborative … but soooo tasty. Tonight I will enjoy these crunchy freshly made fennel seed taralli with a glass of Petite Arvine. For about 70-80 taralli you will need: – 400g flour – 2.5 dl […]

Another Italian Easter tradition: after the richness of Easter and in full spring, once the first greens of the year can be harvested, Italians like to bake what they call Erbazzone…erba is grass… an assembly of greens. It is tasty the day you make it and it is a great […]

One of the many traditions Italians have for Easter is the Torta della nonna: a shortcrust cake with a dense vanilla cream between the upper and lower dough. Once you have mixed together the shortcrust, let it rest for a good 30 mins in the fridge. For the cream, mix […]

And here is to a first again this season: cime di rapa. I just love this slightly bitter and very tasty vegetable sauted in olive oil with some garlic 🧄
Whoever believes that winter is less attractive than other seasons in terms of local food products (I am referring to Central Europe) does not spend enough time on the markets. For me a first this season…but a very welcome returning guest to my kitchen is catalogna. This slightly bitter green […]
