There’s an old wine shop in Venice that still influences how I cook.

Their trick: familiar ingredients + contrast + one unexpected detail.

I used that formula for 3 late-summer (equinox!) cicchetti including my sweet-and-sour peppers with bay & thyme.

I’m so so happy to see this!! And even happier to know you love the dish 🫶🏼 I see a lot of juicy passata there, yum, did you use any leftover to dress pasta?
Mission accomplished 😋

Thanks for the inspiration, Sinù!

This is what we eat in August. My mother made it. My mother-in-law makes it constantly. I make it. It's excellent the next day. Here's exactly how I do it.

A quick reminder that Italy also (mostly) looks like this. And I love it. This is my neighborhood. I said what I said.

Staying in town during the month of August is something I secretly love. How still and quiet and intimate it feels. All of a sudden everyone is leaving for le vacanze (summer vacation). Only a handful of bars and gelaterie stay open - and that’s all we need!

This makes me so happy!! (I also spoon drop the dumplings sometimes, instead of rolling them one by one). Thank you @lucyantal.bsky.social ♥️

A lemony baked ricotta inspired by the ones you find at Italian deli counters.

No eggs, gluten-free and very forgiving. Perfect with fresh strawberries.

If you’re still thinking about Easter dessert, you’re very much on time 🍓

Full recipe here 👇

Final testing for my Italian deli-style lemony baked ricotta (this year's Easter dessert)

10 min hands on, oven/fridge doing all the heavy lifting

Egg-less, butter-less, yet it feels like a proper treat

If you're in a pickle w your Easter menu and need a blessing in disguise - this is it, friends

One day, someone you love will want to cook the dishes you’ve made all your life.

Not just because they love the food, but as a way to remember you - and a part of themselves.

So write that recipe down… and do it well.

Here’s how 👇

If a city government doesn’t put locals first they are failing in their commitment to protect & strengthen the community.

With cruise tourism it always seems to be, locals last.

We are committed to changing that policy position at @portcruisecontrol.bsky.social

We can prevent the confusion of last October when the Insignia cruise ship arrived with a Norovirus outbreak by instituting a few simple protocols.

If Portland wants to welcome cruise ships we must also be responsible for mitigating the negative impacts.

Don’t you think?

This is how you turn old bread into a really good cake. We have many versions of bread cake across Veneto and Venice - my family makes a mean one w lemon zest, raisins and pine nuts. (in Venice it's called Torta Nicolotta). Recipe and story linked below 🤎
