Let’s be honest, celeriac isn’t exactly love at first sight. With its knobbly, uneven skin and wild roots, it looks more like something you’d find buried in the forest than sitting proudly on a dinner table. But beneath that rough exterior lies one of winter’s most rewarding treasures: creamy, aromatic […]
At Cibo & Vino, I’ve come to trust that some of the most unforgettable dishes are also the simplest 💫 Take this moment from our last pop-up dinner: thin slices of ripe pear paired with aged Pecorino Sardo. That was it. No garnish, no trickery. Just two good ingredients, given […]
Last night’s Cibo & Vino Cookbook Club pop-up dinner lingered long after the last bite was taken. The plates sat scattered, a few glasses still cradling the last sips of red wine, and a single flower rested quietly on the tablecloth—a silent witness to what really happened: no one wanted […]
Good food is a basic right. I truly believe that everyone deserves access to food that is not only delicious but also produced with care for people and the planet. This is why Slow Food principles—good, clean, and fair—are at the heart of everything I do 🫶🏽 Cooking, for me, […]
Food has always been more than just nourishment for me: it’s a way to connect, to celebrate traditions, and to tell stories. I’m Antonetta, the heart and soul behind the Cibo & Vino Cookbook Club, where I bring people together around the table to share meals inspired by cookbooks, heritage, […]
Some dishes are more than just food—they are an experience, a moment of connection, a source of strength and purpose. This warming bowl, inspired by Anna Jones, embodies everything we believe in: slow food, homemade and real ingredients, and the power of gathering around the table. At Cibo & Vino, […]
Have you ever wished for a dining experience that feels more like home—where the warmth of good food and genuine connection come together? At the Cibo & Vino Cookbook Club, we offer something beyond a typical restaurant meal. A Cosy, Exclusive Dining Experience Forget the impersonal atmosphere of a crowded […]
At Cibo & Vino Cookbook Club, we take care of our guests from the moment they arrive. We understand that joining a gathering with unfamiliar faces can feel uncertain—but soon, shared curiosity and a love for food turn strangers into friends 💫 What makes our events special? It’s not just […]
As a host, I’ve discovered that crafting a memorable dining experience is about more than just good food: it’s about passion, the love for ingredients, the joy of creation and the stories behind every dish. It’s also about harmony, the balance between flavours, the beauty of a carefully set table, […]
Last week, I hosted the third Cibo & Vino Cookbook Club pop-up dinner — a night where the magic of good food turned 12 strangers into a table of kindred spirits. It was an evening that left me reflecting on what success means in this unique setting. Imagine a dozen […]
Following the success of the last Cibo & Vino Cookbook Club gathering, I’m thrilled to announce the next edition of our pop-up dinner experience: Tuesday, December 3rd, 19:00 CET Location: Zürich, Switzerland This special evening will be dedicated to celebrating the culinary creations of Zürich’s very own Patrizia Fontana. We’ll […]
Just one week ago, Cibo & Vino Cookbook Club hosted a mouthwatering pop-up dinner celebrating our star ingredient—the beloved tomato! 🍅 As I look back on that delicious evening, I can still taste the harmony of flavors. Food lovers indulged in a variety of dishes, some familiar and some delightfully unexpected. […]
The best part of the year is finally here! It’s the season when those lush, vibrant tomatoes, bursting with colors and flavors, are at their peak. This is when my creativity truly flourishes… Join me for an exclusive evening at the Cibo & Vino Cookbook Club Dinner on Thursday, September […]
For those of you who follow my culinary adventures closely, you might have noticed that the much-anticipated inaugural Cibo & Vino Cookbook Club Dinner didn’t take place on April 25 as planned. However, last week the stars finally aligned, and I hosted my very first guests for an evening of […]
Unfortunately the 1st Cibo & Vino Cookbook Club dinner has had to be rescheduled for Thursday, April 25, 2024 due to unforeseen circumstances. If you’ve already registered for the original date, I’ll contact you separately. You might ask yourself what the Cookbook Club is and how it works: by sharing […]
Get ready for an unforgettable culinary evening! The inaugural dinner of the Cibo & Vino Cookbook Club is just around the corner, slated for March 27, 2024, at 19:00 CET in the vibrant city of Zurich. Envision an exclusive gathering where the art of gastronomy converges with the warmth of […]
Hello, epicurean enthusiasts! Today marks the grand launch of my very own cookbook club, and I’m thrilled to have you join the gastronomic adventure! Did I sprinkle some Italian magic on it? You bet! 🇮🇹 Brace yourself for a journey into the realms of “cibo” (that’s food in Italian) and […]
What makes a weekend truly perfect, you ask? Well, let me paint you a vibrant picture! On Friday night, we had the absolute pleasure of hosting a dinner for a long-lost family friend. After years of lost contact, our paths crossed again a couple of weeks ago. Picture this: porcini […]
Many of you have probably already found and followed online recepies for a pumpkin risotto, so I will spare you the detailed receipe and jump straight into the sensations: With some spare pumpkin (from the amazing pumpkin and chocolate cake I made the other day) and some white wine, I […]
I based myself on the delicious galette from Falastin with beetroot and feta and turned it into a version à la provençale with chèvre and a lot of thyme as well as honey from the region. A labour of love which is worth every minute of thought and work. To […]
Inspired by the great Ottolenghi, this tasty cauliflower cake was a welcome snack with a glass of blanc de blanc last night. The dough is half whole wheat flour and half regular wheat flour, I omitted two eggs and used more cauliflower. All in all a satisfying savory cake, which […]
I am currently still in the beautiful Provence and one of the many things I enjoy are the marchés des producteurs. The other day I found some gorgeous looking beetroot and could not hold myself. Don‘t you just love these leaves…they look like they have blood going through their veins. […]
What is a balanced meal for you? Do you have a list of what you should resp should not be eating? Do you trust your cravings? For last night’s dinner party I went for what my guests and I like, knowing that all in all it is a balanced meal: […]
When a foodie wants to impress a restaurant owner … Both the super tasty cornbread from Ottolenghi‘s Simple and the delicious blood orange and pistachio cake from Honey & Co look amazing but unfortunately they were not quite right in terms of texture this time around. Lessons learned for next […]
As an Italian, I am a rather conservative cook when it comes to our jewels…and risotto is certainly one of them. But what do they say: special times ask for special actions… 🤔 I was a happy host last night, when this super tasty and surprisingly fresh citrus risotto accompanied […]
This citrusy cake tastes as vibrant as it looks. Letitia Clark’s receipe is a perfect way out of a winter depression … the Southern sun literally shines in your kitchen. The cake needs to be completely cooled before it is served and will keep well for 3-4 days. A very […]
Who said that hummus can only be made out of chickpeas? This tasty hummus has white beans as a basis, which is nicely complimented by the caramelised onion wedges and radicchio leaves. Another great Diana Henry receipe, which I will definitely be making again, and again, and again…
This not really a receipe, more a creative moment in my kitchen: A few days ago I cooked some artichokes with lemon until they were both nice and tender. I then drained them while keeping the water I had cooked them in. Tonight I decided to cook some red wheat […]
A few days ago I saw a post from @emikodavies which inspired me to try out this unusual combination of a bitter salad in a sweet cake … a beautiful cake … ready to sweeten my Monday morning
For those of you, who are “cacio e pepe lovers” like me, this is a welcome and wintery variation – especially in the peak of the orange season. I was a bit sceptical to change this “sacro santo” from Rome, but my brave move was rewarded with this super tasty […]
I am not quite sure whether I should be more happy about the result of this amazing tiramisu or more ashamed that I have had the courage to change the basics of a tiramisu, which you just don’t do as an Italian… anyway, believe me, this version with both mascarpone […]
A warm welcome to autumn into my kitchen…what a way to start the pumpkin season…hearty pumpkin and lentils with the freshness of burrata – definitely a keeper in my house! Also this receipe is #inspriredbyottolenghi. I like to serve this warm, so that the fresh burrata cuts into the hearty […]
I finally had the courage to make koftas…and what a feast this was: and explosion of flavours…! #inspiredbyottolenghi, I adaped his receipe for turkey and zucchini koftas to suit the slightly more fatty lamb. The lemon and sumac work well and should not be left out. I served the koftas […]
It’s definitely the season of zucchini and this tasty bread is a great addition to a brunch or served with a salad. It keeps well for 1-2 days.
It has been a long month absent from the kitchen…a month of TLC from my mother looking after me…but I am extremely happy to be back in action – still on crutches… This receipe inspired by #ottolenghi comes at the right time in summer…the plums are nice and ripe and […]
Just back from a lovely holiday in the South of France, I could not do differently than bring back home a receipe for a very popular pastry: cannelés de Bordeaux. It takes a bit of time – resting time, but is very simple to make and is loved by people […]
Muhammara is a dip made from red pepperoni and walnuts. It is lovely in a cheese sandwich, served with grilled red meet or just as a dip – as I served it the other day. The fava bean mash is a nice contrast to the rather spicy muhammara, which can […]
This is more a “putting together of ingredients” rather than a receipe… I could not resist the fresh fava beans on the market, which according to Roman tradition should be served with a fairly young pecorino. I happened to have Mimolette at home, which is a perfect contrast in taste, […]
I just recently got this amazing book “Brunch the Sunday way”, which has very inspiring receipes…not only for brunch. I made these pancakes the other day for dinner…a great combination of 8 different vegis and greens. As with all pancakes, make sure the dough is fluffy enough so that the […]
This is one from the beautiful book of Falastin by Sami Tamimi and Tara Wigley. I have changed the proportions and added quite some lemon and the lemon zest, which “breaks” the heavy tahini sauce quite nicely. I served the pie with a green salad, which is a perfect complement.
I wanted to give myself the challenge of making my own receipe for a strawberry cake: mission completed…with a “not too bad success”: I put too much of the filling and assembled the cake the evening before we ate it … so lessons leart and already incorporated into the receipe […]

Welcome to my life….Pastry wheel

It has been a while that I wanted to just try my own receipe…somehow I did not dare. Tonight seemed like the right time and I am very proud of what came out of 35 mins wizzing through the kichen: chicken with preserved lemon, olives and potatoes with sumac…a winner […]
Tangy, slightly bitter, very colourful and full of vitamines

This is so totally me…how come I only get to see them now…pink as a style… I am very much looking forward to preparing it with some other winter goodies…
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 […]
A got this little spot of joy 3 days ago and since then they bring me nice memories of a very nice evening at my place… 🌸
Second dinner party of 2020 and I have the honor to be mentioned in social media for the first time…who knows what 2020 will bring…🌟
If you followed my in the last few weeks, you might have noticed that I have started to preserve lemons. Not as easy as I thought, but I think I am getting the hang of it 🍋 So last night was my first attempt to actually use a first lemon…for […]
What a nice surprise…sweet potato gnocchi, which I served with cavolo nero. The contrast in both taste and colour…a dish to repeat!! To start, I made a simple salad with brussels sprouts on a sweet honey mustard sauce and the Diana Henry inspired pommegranade and orange cake. A very nice […]
Nothing more rewarding than being at home after a morning swim and preparing for the first dinner party. This beautiful cake is inspired by the talented Diana Henry…an orange and pommegranade cake 😋
