Cream of string beans with roasted tomatoes and potatoes

One ingredient and one good soup...

Coconut cake with a cocoa heart

Simple, nutty and delightful cake that communicates well with all the juicy Summer fruits around... or an espresso. 

Whole carrot spaghetti

Cooking with whole foods...

Coffee semifreddo

Cold, creamy, thick cappuccino that you slice with a knife and serve on a plate...

Almond (or ricotta) lemon cake with strawberries

Maybe cake, maybe cheesecake but definitely lemon...

Young cabbage focaccia rolls

Young, Spring cabbage tastes nothing like the Winter variety. It's light and sweet. Even better roasted and rolled into a focaccia...

Raspberry semifreddo

Julia made raspberry cream, Giada made samifreddo, I made raspberry semifreddo...

Apricot and almond (or ricotta) delicacy

Some fruit bakes better than others... Apricots, with their flesh that is smooth and not too juicy and a mild flavor that only improves in the oven, are one of the tops.

Chocolate covered ice cream on a stick

One day, I thought it was getting a bit boring to eat ice cream again straight from the carton. So I made a big mess...the good kind, you know.

Cocoa almond or ricotta cake with whipped cream and strawberries

...oh, cake and cream, it was just something to go with strawberries. It all went very well with me...

Split focaccia sandwich with roasted baby beets, goat cheese and yogurt

It's been a baby beet festival in my home for the last couple of weeks. Beets with good bread, a touch of refreshing creaminess and me... one of its best moments.

Semifreddo with caramelized nectarines and raspberries

Another one seen on Italian TV... and delizioso.
