Take A Chance

It's second nature for me to cook with seafood and I want that for you too. Baked Sardines is my favorite way to enjoy a fish that was always abundant growing up. Fennel with Anchovies bruschetta reminds me of the sandwiches I ate as a child. Foraging at the beach would reward me with a plate of this Istrian Pasutice with Mixed Seafood. Take a chance, open your kitchen to the bounty of the sea!

Easy Going Recipes

This show is all about making your life easier. I remind you to think of recipes as roadmaps, that you can - and should - personalize. I share a Winter Minestrone that can use any kind of hearty green and a Matalota-Style Mixed Fish Stew that can change according to market availability. So go ahead and play with what you have to create something just for you!

Sit Down Together

I say it every time and I'll say it again...there is nothing more important than gathering around a table. Onion & Potato Gratin is a great dish for a large group it goes into the oven with easy prep. The aroma of this Rosemary Chickpeas brings back so many childhood memories. Pork Chops with Mushrooms and Pickled Peperoncini comes together in one pan. It's simple...cook, sit down together & enjoy.

Serving Up Pasta

I teach you that serving up pasta can open a world of possibilities. And share my recipes for two very different flavor-packed pasta dishes - Penne with Cauliflower & Green Olive Pesto and Fusilli with Salami & Roasted Peppers. I catch up with old friends, the Sofgline sisters, from Bologna, to talk all things fresh pasta. From the pasta shape to the sauce you can serve up pasta any way you like.

Finding Belonging

Everyone deserves to feel welcomed. As my grandkids grew, their tastes did too, so I made them these Sweet Potato Chickpea Gnocchi with Gorgonzola. This colorful Beet & Carrot Salad was inspired by my morning juice stop. And my Turbot Woodsman-Style is an impressive way to serve up fish. There will always be food options, and a place for you here in my kitchen.

Be The Host

There are two strategies when it comes to hosting, either making the food in advance or putting on a show! Crespelle Manicotti with Spinach is a classic make-ahead baked pasta. Crespelle was a childhood staple, and serving them with a toppings bar can be a fun treat for your guests. The addition of shrimp to Spaghetti in Lemon Cream Sauce makes it showstopper to serve up a la minute. Be my guest!

Roll Up Your Sleeves

I love artichoke season, and it's worth the time to make these Artichokes Braised with Parsley & Prosciutto Cotto. I prefer my Chocolate Amaretti chewy with hazelnuts. Timballo with Sausage RaguI is an iconic dish that I made a bit simpler but it still gives a festive presentation that everyone will love. So let's roll up our sleeves and get cooking. It's the season of serving memories.

Think Seasonally

I live by the seasons. It's just what feels natural to me. Flavoring risotto is all about capturing the tastes & aromas of the season and Risotto with Asparagus & Favas sings Spring! Roasted Cranberries & Pears over Ice Cream is a versatile favorite. On Sundays, my grandma baked a tart like this Leek and Ricotta Tart, starring the vegetables from the garden. Trust me, let the seasons guide you.

Time to Evolve

Over time I have adapted recipes to fit our lives today creating new delicious traditions. My family adores clams and this Tomato Soup with Fregola & Clams has become one of our favorite ways to enjoy them. The younger generation really enjoy this Avocado & Tomato Salad with Balsamic & Mozzarella. And my Rigatoni with Turkey Meatballs is a new take on the classic. It's time to evolve.

Take The Time

It's important to slow down and give cooking the time it deserves. Mussel Bruschetta always makes me think fondly of my long lunches in Fiumicino. Remember that collection of frozen food scraps, water, and time can turn into a rich stock. The fun of this Spicy Lobster Linguine is seeing everyone slowly work through it with their hands... it's a memory maker! Let the kitchen be your place of peace.

Dinner and a Song

Memories fuel my soul and cooking dishes that remind me of my mother will always bring me comfort. In my kitchen, my mother would shell the favas, along with a song and this mellow Cream of Fava Soup with Rice carries me there. My mother ate more panettone than I could imagine and this homemade Chocolate Cherry Panettone is unbeatable. Grandma Ermnia was the biggest fan of this Eggplant Rollatini!
