Y is for Your Italian Food Travel List

So, there’s been 28 posts about Italian cuisine so far. Some are recipes made throughout the country, and some are recipes specific to a certain region. It’s easy to get lost in what is made where and such, so I’ve created an overview of the recipes that have been on the blog, which let you…

W is for Where to Eat in Rome

As you may have read in previous posts, I’ve visited Rome in the beginning of April. I’ve eaten loads of food, drank a lot of wine and beer, and been to some restaurants that are worth mentioning to you! The thing with these restaurants is that you should not be put off by the interior,…

N is for Neapolitan Cuisine

Basically everything you love about Italian food, has its origins in Naples. Think of pizza, mozzarella, parmigiana di melanzana (aubergines with Parmesan cheese and tomato sauce) and many more… Naples is one of the oldest cities in Italy, and has been ruled by many different empires and kingdoms: the ancient Greeks and Romans, and the kings from…

M is for Mozzarella

I’ve mentioned mozzarella before in my post about the Joy of Italian Cheeses. But honestly, I feel like this cheese deserves some alone-time in the spotlights. Besides that, I wouldn’t do the Italian cuisine theme of this challenge any justice without writing at least one post about this yummy cheese. How often do you get…

Pizza con Verdure – The Easy Way

The title says it all. Although this recipe is a lot less fancy than it actually sounds in Italian. Basically, this is one of the pizzas I make after a long day of work when I’m way too tired and lazy to prepare anything. It’s not often that I use something ready made. But for…
