Pumpkin Bread, or Muffins

May 7, 2020

Pumpkin Muffins are a delicious dessert, great for breakfast or an afternoon snack - and great for the holidays!

This recipe is the only Pumpkin Bread recipe that I have been using for decades without changing a single thing in the recipe. I make it any time of the year, but especially around the holidays when pumpkins are in season. Now that we are in lockdown I’m using up a lot of the frozen…

Lemon Poundcake Drizzled with Lemon Glaze

April 1, 2020

Glazed Lemon Poundcake drizzled with a luscious lemon glaze

Lemon Poundcake Drizzled with Lemon Glaze Our lemon tree is bursting with lemons and this is no exaggeration. I haven’t counted them but there are hundreds of beautiful lemons. We leave them on the tree all winter long and pick them as we need them each day: for salad dressings and the like. Let’s face it…

Pasta with Wild Boar Sauce

January 29, 2020

Pasta with wild boar sauce

Pasta with Wild Boar Sauce is my favorite dish on cold winter days!  If you don’t have  pappardelle on hand then use another pasta like rigatoni or fettuccine.  There are many dishes that I love but make infrequently because they just take too much time to prepare. I found that a pressure cooker or instapot allows…

Homemade Blackberry Jam

September 15, 2019

Freshly picked blackberries for blackberry jam

The first year we made homemade blackberry jam Maurizio picked the berries and I did the cooking and canning. Blackberries have so many seeds which we find unpleasant in jams and tarts so I decided to remove them. It’s a laborious, time consuming task and I cursed myself the whole way through making the jam…

Ciambellone Breakfast Pound Cake with Fresh Blueberries

June 13, 2019

Blueberry Ciambellone Breakfast Poundcake is also great for dessert!

Most Italians have a go-to coffee bar for their breakfast: usually an espresso or cappuccino and a cornetto (a croissant). If you get to the bar on the late side you might find you’re out of luck on the pastry side. You’ll almost always find the bar’s homemade ciambellone, which is quite similar to a…

Homemade Yogurt

February 28, 2018

Delicious homemade yogurt, topped with blueberries

Homemade Yogurt is delicious with fresh fruit, or just plain. The best part is how easy homemade yogurt is to make! Exactly a year ago I made my first trip to India. All the food was amazing but what stood out above everything was perhaps the simplest food of all: yogurt. Yogurt in India is…

Panettone French Toast

January 6, 2018

Panettone French Toast with butter and maple syrup

It happens to be the last holiday of the season here in Italy…the Befana…so I feel compelled to add a little festivity to the day and that usually means a food treat. So we’re starting the day off with some Panettone French toast which, as they say in Italian, è la morte sua (its best…

Glazed Cinnamon Rolls

December 12, 2017

Melt in your mouth, gooey and delicious Glazed Cinnamon Rolls

Glazed Cinnamon Rolls When I was still a young girl, somewhere between seven and nine years old, my passion was already cooking. If our parents went out for the evening I’d pull out a cookbook (that my mother never used, by the way) and pick out a recipe to make. It was my only opportunity…

Christmas is around the corner and once again it’s time to make panettone, the Italian classic sweet bread loaf that you find on every Italian table during the holidays. Panettone requires a full day including three risings, so if you decide to make your own panettone be sure to allot the necessary time to bake…

Corn bread and muffins

November 29, 2017

Corn bread and muffins made with freshly ground cornmeal

Corn bread and muffins are one of my favorite accompaniments to a meal, at breakfast, or anytime. I love them slathered with butter and drizzled with honey, or just on their own. Corn bread and muffins took on a new dimension several years ago when I began using a mill attachment for my KitchenAid. I…

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Fresh Berries

June 5, 2016

Lemon ricotta pancakes

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes!   Pancakes, even when they’re as fluffy as can be, take a back seat to these lemon ricotta pancakes. Fluffy isn’t even the word I’d use; these are delightfully creamy. The lemon zest shines through beautifully, and of course you can’t go wrong smothering these masterpieces with honey and fresh berries. They’re…
