We already know “aglio e olio“ pasta, the beloved Italian classic. Adding Some parmesan, dried tomatoes and lemon next to the garlic and olive oil will take you to a new interesting path not far away from the original.

Grilled zucchini pair well with almost everything and feel right at almost any time of the day.

Baked sea bream and steamed potatoes are a classic combination but turning them into a salad - finished with a lemony yoghurt-parsley dressing - makes things more interesting.

I always wanted to make a pumpkin pie, but for some reason I kept postponing it. Maybe I imagined it more complicated… but it’s not. After reading a few recipes and simplifying things, I ended up with something simple, comforting, and genuinely tasty.

As mentioned in my first panzanella recipe from a couple of years ago, this salad has Tuscan and Umbrian origins, with stale bread turned into croutons as its key ingredient. You can use any bread you like - sourdough or ciabatta work beautifully - the idea is simply to give leftovers a second life.
