Homemade tomato passata recipe
Homemade tomato passata and the season of preserves
I clutch a bottle of homemade tomato puree and travel through time. Memories flow like the hands of a clock gone mad until the mechanism uncovers the right one. I remember summers in the countryside and the giant cauldrons where bottles of tomato passata cooked. Not everyone knows that Emilia-Romagna is a northern Italian region where preparing…

Panna cotta al melone
Melon panna cotta to celebrate Ferragosto
This melon panna cotta was born by accident and necessity. Now I tell you. From the weekly trip to the local market for fruit and veg shopping haul, I returned with a sweet white onion that, by itself, weighs a kilogram, lots of tomatoes since, at last, I can eat them again, and then a tiny…

eggplant cutlets
Bolognese eggplant cutlets (baked or fried)
I think I have already written this, but I want to reiterate: I love the month of August and, above all, Bolognese eggplant cutlets even though, since it is a recipe from Italian peasant cuisine, I am sure that, with few or many variations, there are sister recipes in many regions. I was before plunging into…

Homemade purple potato gnocchi
Homemade purple potato gnocchi (eggless)
The intense chirping of cicadas underscores the heat. How long has it been since the last recipe I shared on the blog? It's been a few months. As I knead the purple potato gnocchi dough, I can't help but think how quickly these intense past few months have passed. Now I will tell you the reason for this long…

Ricotta tortelloni of Bologna recipe
Parsley and ricotta tortelloni. Recipe of Bologna
This is the recipe for ricotta tortelloni, a dish deeply rooted in the culinary tradition of Bologna and the surrounding area.  While tortellini is the holiday dish, ricotta tortelloni, like cappelletti romagnoli with cheese, respected the Catholic Church's precepts of a meatless menu on the days of Eve and Lent. The recipe has been registered…

Erbazzone Reggiano (swiss chard pie). A treasure recipe from Emilia
Erbazzone pie (swiss chard pie). A treasure recipe from Emilia
There is a land with indefinite borders, which is the South of the North and the North of the South: someone calls it Emilia (E. Berselli, Italian writer born and raised in Emilia) The city of Reggio Emilia is the birthplace of one of the most satisfying Italian snacks: erbazzone or scarpazzone , a hearty, savory…

Cocoa and ricotta cake
Cocoa and ricotta cake. About a weekend kitchen project
Stroll through the stalls of one of the food markets that, every Sunday morning, you can find in my neighborhood. I am one among many, the still floppy cotton shopper slung over my shoulder lazily waiting to be filled. I glance at the food the stalls offer, looking more carefully at my favorites. I take…

Rice bomb (bomba di riso), recipe from Emilia-Romagna
Rice bomb (bomba di riso), recipe from Emilia-Romagna
The rice bomb is a flan. And flan, in Italian sformato, is the name we used to call it at home. It must be said, however, that it is an Emilian rather than a Romagna dish. In fact, each Emilian province has its own version of the recipe. You can find the bomb bolognese, the one from…
