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!
This preparation has always been one of my strong points every time there was a little party with many people (and never forget one of my many potato salads).
Among other things, the baking facilitates the whole and free the house from oil splashes and odors of fried.
Pasta alla Norma, one soft revisiting
Among the great specialties of Sicilian cuisine, in this case, more properly, from Catania, there is this colorful and fragrant dish of pasta, vegetables and dairy products.
A dish dedicated to another pride of the city of Catania:
Bellini and his Norma.
When there are plenty of guests at home or if you take part in a party where everyone brings something, this is an ideal preparation:
simple, economic and, especially, adaptable to all needs; for example at different vegetarian versions.
Here I present what I propose more often and for many years:
with the sausage, my favorite!
Here is a dish that needs no introduction: stewed octopus, in all its variations, is truly a culinary classic.
In the simplicity of its ingredients it is a dish that satisfies everyone;
whether served as an appetizer, as a main course or as a condiment for a pasta dish.
... and you can serve it hot or cold depending on when and how you serve it.
Mezzepenne zucchini and shrimp
This is a dish that is easy to prepare and quickly;
and, if you have all the ingredients at home, it is also a dish at the last moment.
For example, if someone happens suddenly or if a chat was prolonged until dinner!
