Peach pudding (also vegan). Flavors from the past
Peach pudding has a nostalgic flavor, a soft texture, and is easy to make. All you need is water, fruit, sugar, and a thickener (agar-agar or gelatin sheets). It’s a simple dessert that a scoop of ice cream or a spoonful of whipped cream can make shine like a dancing star. I can’t even tell you…

Smoky ham and cannellini bean soup
Aromas, like flavors, are evocative. A single fragrance can transport you to many places. Take, for example, smoky, warm, enveloping aromas. In my case, they awaken pleasant, comforting olfactory memories. Wood burning in the fireplace in the basement. Bonfires in the countryside mark the change of seasons.

Like sausage and bean stew with Grandma Sara's special touch: a few pieces of fresh pork belly, which makes the sausage sweeter during cooking and adds great flavor to the sauce.

Citrus salad with vodka
Citrus salad with vodka
In my childhood home, citrus fruits, apart from lemons, belonged to the winter season when, along with other seasonal fruits, they were always present in the fruit bowl. I remember my grandmother eating an orange in the middle of the afternoon and placing the fragrant peel on the warm radiator to spread its fresh scent.…

Chocolate block dessert (Dolce mattone), without eggs and baking
Chocolate block dessert (Dolce mattone), without eggs and baking
At home, it was called chocolate block dessert. However, I only discovered as an adult that in Emilia-Romagna, this dessert is more commonly known as Dolce Mattone (literally, Cake brick). It requires very simple ingredients. It has the aroma and flavor of old-fashioned desserts, the kind our grandmothers used to make. Although in this case,…
