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!
Sautéed with carrots, potatoes and meatballs
(a "light" recipe)
here's one of the many light recipes that I prepare; meals consisting in a sigle dish, to be served as lunch or dinner.
This is very simple to prepare and can be quickly transformed into a vegetarian dish if desired:
just replace the meat with chickpeases.
Couscous with vegetable ragout
(a "light" recipe)
The couscous is one of those dishes I often prepare, with each sauce and seasoning; whether it is light or vegetarian or with meat and fish, you can often see it on my table. And I always prepare it in good quantity; and always with many chickpeas, a legume that I love a lot.
This is a particular version, a dish that satisfies both vegetarians that lovers of simple cooking in fat and calories.
Chicken with mushrooms with rice and vegetables
(a "light" recipe)
You might think that the kitchen and, too can only offer dishes boring and tasteless;
and yet, as you can see from this and my other proposals, the field is open to any type of presentation: colorful, varied and tasty dishes.
Like this chicken breast, served with mushrooms and a side of rice and spinach.
Light recipes: what does it mean?
Maybe someone would think that these recipes will to be indications for a weight loss diet but ...
I'm sorry to dispel this assumption but it is not.
It is just a series of recipes, even reading, include in a single dish a complete meal.
And with a specific condition: that they are also pleasant to see and tasty dishes to eat!
Sometimes, when I fall south of the Alps, I find myself with friends eating and drinking something in a brewery, the Kapuzinerplatz;
a place present both in Milan and in Castelseprio.
Right here, in this villa in the Olona valley, masterfully adapted as a brewery, I tried and tried again an excellent version of the birramisù!
