Recipes from an empty Italian fridge - Part 1

Too cold outside, too lazy to do grocery shopping but too hungry... 
What to cook when your fridge is completely empty: "L'arte di cucinare con niente... o quasi."  Tonight the first recipe, taught by my suocera (mother-in-law). 

Ingredients
garlic
parsley
peperoncino flakes
pasta
walnuts (also pecan, pistachio or pine nuts will do the trick)

Boil the spaghetti in salted water. In the meantime slice the garlic in thick slices, chop the flat leaved parsley and walnuts. In a large pan heat a good layer of olive oil over medium fire and saute the garlic, peperoncino and nuts. Add the drained pasta (al dente!). Stir fry the ingredients over high heat and add the chopped parsley. Stir well and dinner is ready. 

I dedicate this post to Walter my dear Roman friend. Grazie x la tua lezione! Spero di vederti presto.

Notte everybody


Minimal ingredients, maximum taste!



The fridge was empty but fortunately
our piccola cantina was full  tonight ; )

Summer nostalgia

With the inevitable approach of Fall, I've been longing for those delicious barbecues, endless walks under the mediterranean sun , my colourful summer kaftans and flip-flops... Summer please come back soon!

Party time


A birthday is a perfect opportunity to have a night out with the girls. So farewell flip flops, beach hair, children and husbands... Capri is ours tonight! 
A fun birthday dinner at Villa Verde. Enjoying good company, rossini's, nice wines and delicious food... What was next?  Of course: a bit of dancing! In a shady night club... with more prosecco of course...  It was a perfect night indeed. Thanks, girls!

Long time no sea!

It has been a while... since Christmas! After a long hibernation Capri finally woke up.  The start of this summer is perfect: fun, food and family... Una vera vacanza caprese!


Relaxed lunches on the terrace...



Enjoying our garden in bloom...

Eating...
It's a french invention but these delicious caprese lemon macarons are the best! You can get them at the bakery in Piazza Caprile in Anacapri. A must-eat. 








































Great to be together again!
Happy holidays everyone!!!! A presto.  xxx
