A classic from Puglia, taralli are the perfect snack, or a fantastic substitute for bread. Try them with or without fennel seed, or add chili powder, onion powder, garlic power… you won’t go back to Goldfish or Ritz, I promise.

Mussels in Black Pepper and White Wine Sauce (Impepata di Cozze)
Another quick and tasty dinner that will make you travel to Il Bel Paese. Mussels, Black Pepper, White Wine. Add garlic, Italian parsley, and extra virgin olive oil: you’ll have the Amalfi Coast in your kitchen and a great dinner in only 20 minutes. It’s one of my favorite dishes, healthy, and low-calorie.
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.
