I drove back from Tuscany last night for a #markettotablerome this morning. Grapes were beckoning at the market after I dropped Alberto at his new Scuola Media (next door to the Gregorio VII market, bonus), so the Maritozzo dough became a sort of Schiacciata all' Uva for our morning coffee. Yep, it was tasty, I tasted a couple of slices waiting for @rachelaliceroddy to arrive with today's (as always) super group. We cooked a feaast of late summer veg, made lombrichell and baked a plum tart. More in my stories. Thanks all for coming, and stay tuned for 2020 Market to Table dates if you would like to come and cook with @carla_tomasi, Rachel and me. #cooktheseason #schiaccataalluva #withcoffee
Postcards from an island campground. Granite beach, umbrella pines, political updates and icecreams at the bar, enamel plates, the daily fish truck. Perhaps why there are people that have been pitching tents here for thirty years, and why every time the ferry pulls out of Giglio port I start dreaming up a way to get back. #welovegiglio #isoladelgiglio #greatcampgrounds #campinglife More highlights in my stories.
La credenza, the kitchen dresser. Iconic corner of the Italian kitchen, indispensable home to assorted crockery, glasses for every occasion, jars of hazelnuts, various preserves, unknown keys, screwdrivers and other bits. Most of what lives in this one came from second hand mercatini around the provincia di Viterbo, apart from the green Woods Ware from my Aunt Lizzie's attic. I have a couple of posts on my blog about hunting for old stuff - treasure hunting in the Tuscia & a Rome list of mercatini - scroll down from the link in my profile. #mercatinidellusato #huntingandgathering #trashandtreasure #upcycling #rusticaretro
