Mediterranean Cauliflower Couscous
This is my version of the popular cauliflower rice, that to me is more of a couscous. I like mediterranean flavors that remind me of my origins, of my grandmother, of family, and of small, beautiful things in life. Enjoy! It’s healthy, delicious, and very easy to make.
Squash Blossoms with Cheese and Aromatic Herbs
Squash blossom are a spring/summer treat that reminds me of my grandmother’s cooking, and then of my mama’s, back in Italy. Instead of frying the blossoms I baked them, and they made a perfect, healthier appetizer. Enjoy!
Watermelon Salad With Queso Fresco and Cherry Tomatoes
A summer salad that takes me to Mexico at the first bite. This dish is refreshing and seducing, thanks to its many layers of flavors and textures. Sweet watermelon, earthy and creamy queso fresco, spicy chili, and aromatic cilantro make me travel in space and time.
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.
