Still gathering these beauties from our orchard. What’s your favorite thing to do with pomegranates? There are three things I like to do: make fresh squeezed juice, freeze the little jewels to use in salads and other dishes throughout the year, and dry them in my kitchen so I can enjoy looking at them year round.

When people think of Italy what comes to mind is fabulous art, monuments, amazing food and beautiful designer luxury goods – especially Italian shoes. In this podcast episode I chatted with luxury Italian shoe designer Alessio Spinelli about his life as a luxury shoe designer in Italy, and the path that led him to become a designer for Italy’s top shoe brands. Design is just as much a “Flavor of Italy” as food, don’t you agree?

When you are at Piazza Venezia, like this beautifu

When you are at Piazza Venezia, like this beautiful October Sunday, you always look straight ahead at the big white imposing building that is the tomb of the unknown soldier. But look around the square instead and you’ll see there are three gorgeous churches. The two to your left are Santa Maria di Loreto and the Chiesa del Santissimo Nome di Maria al Foro Traiano.
Santa Maria di Loreto is a 16th-century church just across the street from the Trajan’s Column. The church was built atop an earlier 15th century chapel. It is most notable for the adjacent erection of a similarly domed, but pale marble, 18th-century church Santissimo Nome di Maria al Foro Traiano, giving the semblance of twin churches.

I’d like to share a big number with you: 36! Or at least it seems enormous to me…
These delicious dishes are what my husband and I had for lunch yesterday to celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary: yes that’s right! It’s a big number, don’t you agree? And how about the fact that I still love this man to pieces and there’s no one else I’d rather share my life with.
My husband got the pasta and bean soup - pasta fagioli - his all-time winter favorite. Whereas I had the fettuccine al Barbera with a Chianina beef sauce - superb! Also grilled porcini mushrooms, and roast veal breast and potatoes. All accompanied by a lovely red Chianti. We ate outdoors on a restaurant terrace perfectly organized for social distancing. A perfect 36th anniversary celebration!

It’s olive harvest season once again and time to spread the nets and begin the handpicking process. The olives that fall are captured by the nets: I adore the multitude of colors of the olives. This is a post from last year: https://www.instagram.com/p/B4eWpqqInzQ/?igshid=1i7c6butdduwt

The simple recipes are always the best, and who can beat pasta with tomatoes and mozzarella? It’s definitely one of my all-time go-to pasta favorites! I probably make this once a week, or once every two weeks. What’s your favorite go-to recipe??⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Armando al Pantheon is without a doubt one of the top restaurants in Rome. In normal times it’s almost impossible to get a reservation here, but with very few tourists now it’s much simpler to reserve and dine here. Armando is a small restaurant with just a little over 10 tables and that makes your dining experience quite intimate. The restaurant looks more or less the same as it did decades ago; I love its old-style Roman charm. But the best thing about Armando is the food! Lots of creativity happening here, but you can also count on finding classic Roman dishes like saltimbocca alla romana.

We have three pomegranate trees and these are the first ones I’ve picked. They’re so wonderful for fresh squeezed juice, and I also like to freeze the kernels - arils- to decorate salads and other dishes.
And did you know that if you keep a pomegranate in your kitchen it brings good luck? I keep them on a stone wall in my kitchen and let them dry out through the winter; they get more beautiful as the months go by!

You might think you already know what the Liguria

You might think you already know what the Liguria region has to offer: the Cinque Terre, pasta Genovese etc. but actually there are dozens upon dozens of amazing perched villages and hidden towns throughout the region that are well worth exploring. Full of art, architecture, breathtaking views and incredible food. If you missed Tuesday’s podcast episode 🎤♥️🎤then be sure to tune in to my chat with James Martin from @wanderingitaly all about this fabulous region! (photos are all from James) Podcast episode link in bio.

This is the first indoor event my husband and I ha

This is the first indoor event my husband and I have hosted, with CCR Canadian Club since COVID-19 began. Am I Canadian? No, but this club is just plain lots of fun!!
By now we know what has to be done and have found ways to keep on enjoying life with friends, together. At the wine tasting people sat in bubbles which included your spouse and others you are frequently around and comfortable being around. All our bubbles were two person bubbles except for one table of three and one table of four. We only took off our masks to sip our wine and eat our food, but when the wine pourer came to the table we put our masks back on.
I prepared most of the food, along with two others and we were always masked and gloved when we were touching food. Each plate was covered with plastic wrap.
Before anyone entered our home we took their temperature.
Throughout the event the front door and all windows were open so the indoor area was well ventilated.
It was so lovely to be together as a group of just under 20 people and honestly we almost forgot that we were socially distanced and had on masks! You do what you gotta do, right?
Our sommelier Cynthia is amazing and you really should follow her! @kiss_my_glassx

Thank you @jillfrezados for inspiring me to post a few pictures in honor of national daughter’s day! Giulia is my only child and I am still amazed at how blessed I am to have her! She is my best friend, my inspiration, my heart and soul and I cannot imagine life without her. She has grown into an amazing awe-inspiring woman, and she is the gift of life that keeps on giving: now we have two incredible little grandchildren too! Thank you Giulia for being you! ♥️
