Dandelion greens are one of my favorite vegetables. I have always loved bitters greens.
This very simple and healthy recipe is reminiscent of Puglia, and of my father’s heritage. Perfect for a hot summer night, the bitterness of the chicory pairs beautifully with the sweetness and creaminess of the potatoes.
It’s even better the day after, and you won’t believe the amount of chicory your kids will eat.

Cinnamon Carrot Cookies
The perfect essence of autumn in a cookie, with rosemary, homemade candied orange peels, and pecans.
The recipe to my candied orange peels is in the notes. We discussed on my show with Oxfam’s Oliver Gottfried that is available on my Instagram.
Ginger Pecan Biscotti
This is a beautiful recipe for biscotti, which in Italian means “cooked twice”. Perfect for autumn with the warm spice of ginger, the essence of the orange zest, and the beautiful earthiness of the rosemary.
Italian Stuffed Tomatoes
This is a rerun of Instagram to Table from June 8th.
This dish is one that my grandmother used to make all the time. It’s a summer classic that can be either an appetizer or an entrée, maybe accompanied by a salad and good bread.
It has it all, it’s tasty, comforting, fresh and sexy. I love it, and it happens to be very easy to make.
Italian Coconut & Lemon Cookies
These soft and bright cookies remind me of Italian cookies that my paternal grandmother used to buy at the farmers market every Thursday morning. They are light, summery, fresh and rich in flavor.
