Vegan Loaded Sweet Potato Skins // Barchette vegane di patata dolce

Monday, May 23, 2016


Very healthy and very delicious, unfortunately sweet potatoes are not easy to find in the small town I live, so I hardly manage to enjoy them.

Blueberry Pineapple Oatmeal // Porridge d'avena ai mirtilli ed ananas

Friday, May 20, 2016


Oatmeal is the healthy breakfast par excellence. But it can be boring. That's why I give it that extra kick it needs to make my taste buddies happy. Every morning I add in what I feel like adding. Sometimes spices. Sometimes fruit. Sometimes a combination of both.

Spring Salad with Dijon Dressing // Insalata primaverile con salsa alla senape

Wednesday, May 18, 2016


Spring is a beautiful time of year. It (usually) features some of the nicest weather of the year as days start to warm up but are still not too hot; it brings a lot of beautiful, colorful, and fragrant flowers and for those like me who loves them, brings a lot of tasty vegetables like asparagus, peas, fava, and radishes.

Zucchini and Acacia Flowers Pasta // Pasta con zucchine e fiori di acacia

Monday, May 16, 2016


It's that time of the year again when we are surrounded with beautiful, fragrant flowers. Acacia flowers, also known as Robinia or Black Locust flowers, are unfortunately available for a few weeks only, so it's best to pick them when they have just opened. They look like tiny bunches of grapes, with little white flowers that smell and taste like honey - bees love them too - and a hint of jasmine.

Hummus

Friday, May 13, 2016


Happy International Hummus Day everyone! Yes, there is such a thing and it's today and I doubt there is a better way to celebrate the most famous middle-eastern dish than eating it. Since we are celebrating hummus, I believe it is important to take some time and make it ourselves. Sure, the one from the store is ready to eat, but is it even good?
