These are my latest recipes The Easter dove, the simple one, but… When I published the photos of my Easter doves on Facebook I didn't expect so many appreciations; also because, let's face it, large leavened products are certainly not one of my specialties. Moreover, these doves hide a trick: The recipe, at this point, was due!

Here you can find some of the recipes that I prepare at my house and also at friends' houses.
Plates I liked and learned to prepare, adapting to my taste and needs.
Ma ... attention:
my recipes are in my own way and they don't necessarily respect traditional canons;
also because, on certain classic preparations, each village and each family have their own original version!
On this page, from day to day, a new or revised recipe may appear;
but also the story of a lunch prepared or eaten in company.
Just like some curiosity ...
Enjoy the reading!
Chicken goulash with cabbage
(a "light" recipe)
My passion for goulash could not be limited by the needs of a light, low-fat and low-calorie cuisine!

The quantity of meat, limited, is balanced by the presence, dominant in this proposal, of these segments of cabbage.
Shrimp and vegetables risotto
(a "light" recipe)
It may be the color and the scent, it may be the presence of the shrimps but...

It is certainly a much simpler and poorer dish than the original;
but with an extremely intriguing taste.

This is a complete dish that has two big advantages: is prepared in a hurry and has an extremely low cost.
And it's good too!
An idea to put immediately on the table.
Peperonata "light"... (a "light" pan-fried peppers, onions & tomatoes)
Peperonata light? Easy, you say: they are just vegetables!
But really it is not that simple: in particular with these dishes that are part of the tradition and also the kitchen of every home.
And so, as learned by our mothers and our grandmothers, the hand often tends to be very generous with the addition of condiments
One moment and... a nice plate of light vegetables turns into a dangerous arsenal of fats and calories: mno fear: ...
Risotto all'ortolana with chicken surprise
(a "light" recipe)
Sometimes, without thinking too much about it, you can manage to combine a recipe and, too with what's in the house.
The important thing is that the dish that results is, as well as appetizing, even complete!
This risotto with vegetables from the freezer, supplemented by a small spit chicken surplus, is one example.
