At Cibo & Vino, every dish tells a story — not just of flavour, but of the people, places, and values behind each ingredient. Today, I’m shining a light on two suppliers whose commitment to quality and sustainability makes them a perfect fit for our table. First, Valdibella : their […]
Some meals are best eaten slowly. Others are simply made to refresh, nourish, and carry you through the summer heat – like this salad we enjoyed some nights ago. With the temperature still lingering high well past sunset, we turned to what felt right: lukewarm Beluga lentils, tender tuna, juicy […]
We are finally in full summer here in Switzerland, and fruits are at their peak – including my beloved tomatoes! With warm evenings still lingering, what could be better than a lukewarm fregola salad for dinner? Imagine ripe tomatoes, juicy peaches, succulent nectarines, tangy olives, fresh basil, and finely sliced […]
What you might expect to be a clafoutis… is actually a cake! Inspired by the talented @letitiaclark this delightful cake showcases cherries at their finest, perfectly complemented by creamy ricotta. In true Italian fashion, it’s baked with olive oil instead of butter, adding a zesty twist and a richer texture […]
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 […]
Although summer is still a distant dream here in Switzerland, the stone fruit season has finally arrived. Embracing my motto, “less is more,” I strive for simplicity in baking. Imagine a tender, golden batter bursting with the juicy sweetness of Sicilian flat peaches (thanks to Crowd Container)—that’s my idea of […]
Dive into the world of figs, those love-’em-or-hate-’em wonders! Me? I’m head over heels for these little beauties, and half my year is dedicated to scouring markets for the perfect figs. And guess what? It’s prime fig season right now, and I’m floating on cloud nine! Let’s talk about this […]
Everybody told me I was crazy trying to make jam out of cantaloupe melons … but it worked! Also thanks to the inspiration from the wonderful Emiko Davies. The dough of this crostata is your standard shortcrust – I just added the zest of a bio lemon and used salted […]
A real summer treat … perfect for dessert, a brunch or afternoon coffee… Be careful when mixing the berries under the batter so that they are kept whole and don’t leave the cake too moist.
Peaches at their best: ripe, juicy and combined with a crunchy dough. Definitely to be repeated … with different fruits? Summer in a tasty pie
Inspired by the great #ottolenghi I have tweaked the original receipe somewhat – what a great way to lighten up this umami pasta dish: first and not last time that I made zoodles (coming from noodles and zucchini). This dish is a great way to bring back a bit of […]
A great pie to make late summer when the peaches are nice and ripe. This beautiful cake is great as a dessert and a fantastic present to bring along to a dinner party. A very tasty pie to enjoy juicy peaches embedded in a beautiful shortcrust
Just before another summer weekend, I thought I would share the receipe for this flavour-intensive salad with the best that nature has to offer at this moment: ripe and sun-blessed tomatoes, firm zucchinis and sharp basil. This easy to make salad can be kept 1-2 days and is best with […]
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.
I got 3 kg of super yummy zucchini on Friday…just in time for some weekend cooking. As a first I made these zucchini pancakes, which were the stars of the brunch. Of course you can also serve them for lunch or dinner with a nice salad. Salmon could be the […]
…thanks to #grassrooted… watch this space for some delicious receipes on how to enjoy this great summer vegetable
As you can see, I am back in full action and of course I could not resist to bake this summery galette with the most beautiful nectarines and blackberries. The nectarines can be substituted with any stone fruit – if you use peaches, you might want to peal them before […]
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 […]
