• Summer Gazpacho

  

  It has been so hot and dry here in north of Italy, it hasn’t rained in ages and the heat storm arrived earlier than usual. This time of year calls for a light and fresh diet, the last thing I would want to eat is something overcooked, filling and simmering hot. Gazpacho is a traditional…

• Simple Celery Soup

  

  I found this beautiful celery “bouquet” at our local vegetable lady in the country and couldn’t resist. Celery isn’t a very popular choice of vegetable usually.

• Homemade Chili powder

  

  Fresh chili/red peppers are on their last days here. We bought a plant of red peppers last summer and it’s done so well.

  Happy late Halloween! last night I prepared a mung bean-carrot-feta cheese salad for a big dinner party. the dish was a success, but most importantly a lot of the prepping time was focused on the dressing up part.
