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…

Chocolate sorbet (vegan and no gelato-machine)
I always preferred the cup to the cone, the paper cup to the waffle one. And I am and was a whipped cream lover. I am not fussy; I eat ice cream too and find it good. As a child, I waited for the strawberry and cherry season. Likewise, I waited for the season of…

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.

Greek yogurt and strawberries crumb cake
This recipe for Greek yogurt and strawberries crumb cake ushers in the beautiful season that first took a while to arrive, then debuted with excessive heat, and finally, at least for now, seems in doubt about what to do. Let's give it time while I, too, take some more time to decide what to do.…

Sweet potato pudding, a recipe from cucina povera (without flour)
Potato pudding, a recipe from cucina povera (without flour)
Sweet potato pudding is a recipe that belongs to my family's repertoire and to the cucina povera of Bologna and Romagna, an area where potatoes are a traditional product and were historically part of the food diet of the poor people.

Panna cotta al melone
Melon panna cotta to celebrate Ferragosto
