September in Positano
September 27, 2011
This summer, we didn’t get to visit Positano and as it has been a while since we were last here, we decided to drive down this past weekend. I think we made the right decision to come to Positano in September as the beaches were pretty deserted but the water still warm enough for a ... Read More »
Yellow Peppers Jam Recipe (Marmellata di Peperoni Gialli)
September 25, 2011
A couple years ago, we would buy small bottles of yellow pepper jam from the supermarket to have it together with pecorino cheese as an appetizer.

Homemade Pasta: Caramelle di Pasta All’Uovo
September 17, 2011
I have been making homemade pasta the past month and when I first came across caramelle di pasta all’uova in a restaurant near Senigallia, I loved the shape.
