Bucatini with Tomato Sauce and Capers

Stuffed Bell Peppers Torino-Style
This recipe reminds me of bagna cauda, the traditional dish from Torino, where I am from. The key ingredients are anchovies and bell peppers, heavenly combination for a late summer evening with friends. The are fantastic warm, but they are even better the following day, also at room temperature.
Baked Salmon With Capers And Roma Tomatoes
I cooked this dish in the aftermath of a terrible earthquake in central Italy. The tragedy made me think about how I spend my time, and therefore to mindful cooking and mindful living — staying in the present.
I didn’t think about the ingredients for too long; I wanted to eat fish, so I seasoned it with what I had in the pantry on the evening of August 24th, 2016. Feel free to substitute capers with olives, anchovies, or sun dried tomatoes. Feel free to bake halibut instead of salmon, or mahi-mahi, or your favorite fish. Trust your taste, trust your creativity, and enjoy supper with your loved ones.
Italian Rice Salad
This classic rice salad is a typical summer dish that is very popular in northern Italy, where I am from. This dish reminds me of Madri, my grandmother, who would make the most delicious one, when I was a child. I am vegetarian, but if you aren’t, you can add diced Vienna sausage as well. Lemon and cornichons make this rice salad fresh and appetizing for your culinary summer fun.
