I want to present you a recipe for those, like me, who love seafood. It’s a tipycal Summer dish, really easy to make! Ingredients are few and need to be of good quality. Pasta is the main character and paccheri is one of the best for this type of recipe. Think of paccheri as the…

The Italian BBQ
Summer is synonym of BBQ or vice versa? Regardeless of what comes first, before leaving to the USA, I had an enjoyble family bbq in Bergamo. It became almost a tradition, we gather all together, everyone brings something. Some people we’ll take care of the meat, other we’ll think about salad, dessert etc. Let’s say,…
The Italian Lasagna
The Lasagna is one of the most loved foods in the world! Everyone has a taste of it or at least you should have! Lasagna has many versions, both within Italy and around the world. The most famous is “Lasagna alla Bolognese” i.e., from Bologna in the region of Emilia-Romagna. However, if you go to the south…
A Day in Madrid
Madrid, Spain’s largest city and its capital, is one of the top travel destinations in Europe. I have never been there before, but I felt like I knew it a little from pictures my friends and relatives shared it with me. A vibrant cosmopolitan city pulsing with life and overflowing with energy, that’s what I…

Made with a meat filling and their typical mezzaluna shape. This pasta dish and polenta are the most famous and cooked Bergamo’s recipes. The origin of…
Bellavista
Bellavista, what a word, right? In Italian “Bella Vista” means “nice view” but on today’s post I won’t cover a beautiful landscape, no. Instead, I’ll present you an Italian wine! Bellavista is the Italian wine brand founded in Franciacorta in 1977 by a businessman called Vittorio Morett, who decided to transform a small family-run winemaking…

Sweet or bitter, Milk or Dark, with fruit or alchool. Chocolate is a type of food among the most versatile in cooking, but above all, the most loved by young and old people. Last weekend Milan hosted the third Italian edition of the The Salon du Chocolat, the word’s largest event dedicated to chocolate. For…
Through my eyes: New York- Wanderlust
Through my eyes: New York comes to an end with my last post. Our 6 days trip to NYC has been great and looking back at all the adventures, pictures and memories we made, I am so happy and I hope we’ll be back to the Big Apple again! Last, but not least I kept…
Max Brenner: Chocolate Bar & Restaurant
Restaurant, Chocolate Bar, Chocolate Shop, Chocolate Heaven… Call as you want it. When stepping into Max Brenner, it becomes immediately obvious that chocolate is religion at this establishment. Great vats of melted chocolate churn away near the entrance, while the Chocolate Shop bursts with rows of pralines, and giant chocolate slabs decorate the walls. Originated…
Linguine with Lobster
My first Lobster sandwich, here in New York, reminded me of my Linguine with Lobster. Cooking can be hard but if you have a good teacher everything can be so much easier. My mum has been teaching me so much during the years and from her, I love to experiment in the kitchen when I…
Chocolate-covered strawberries
Three little words can make me happy: chocolate-covered strawberries. Those red, heart-shaped fruits, that melted chocolate, together in one sweet, scrumptious bite. I made them a couple of days ago for my girlfriend aka the chocolate obsessed. No other treat is more romantic than chocolate-covered strawberries. And no other treat is easier. You can also…
