Some of the recipes I prepare at my home and also at friends' homes.
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!
Il graviera of Kreta - Γραβιέρα Κρήτης
While continuing my vacation in Crete, I also try to see what the most special local products. And so, while I was wandering around a store of food I felt a smell that reminded me of something .. and then I remembered: pecorino cheese! And indeed there was a cheese on the counter in the scent and appearance that seemed; but the name was very confusing. In fact the words reported Γραβιέρα (Graviera).
On holiday: the pasta alla crudaiola
Hmmmm, pasta alla crudaiola!
It is already an ideal dish on summer days but certainly, on vacation, it is doubly so. As the name implies, the condiment is made from raw ingredients: just a pot is enough to throw the dough.
While in the garden red currants are coming to maturity and blooming roses, I am finishing to close the suitcases: from tomorrow morning my kitchen will be temporarily closed; actually friends, while I am on vacation in the middle of the Aegean, will be around for my kitchen. But I do not think they will use it a lot ...
I will try to bring forward the publication of many of the recipes that I have prepared. But hardly I succeed with a portatilino, to develop comme il faut the photos.
As anyone who reads me already knows, I'm completely addicted to homemade Greek poured yogurt; excellent, tasty and healthy but ...
from two liters of milk I get a liter of yogurt and a liter of whey.
So I looked for various solutions: the first, and most immediate, is ricotta.
A good fruit salad is ideal to start the day and is also a great snack in the afternoon! Therefore as soon as I get the chance I take this opportunity to prepare as much just for two or three days.
As the homemade fruit never fails, find the ingredients is not very complex.
