  • Italian Spring Greens: Looks like Grass, Tastes like Spinach - but Better!

    Liscaro has more aliases than an escaped convict - in our neck of the woods it is called liscaro, but travel outside our valley and it goes by agretto, lischi, roscano, baciccio, barba del negus. Just another example of how regional & local the cooking (& language) is in Italy! If you like spinach then you will love liscaro (or whatever you prefer to call it) - the flavor is a bit more subtle than spinach & not as irony. Even though it looks like blades of grass, I assure it tastes nothing like it (and yes, I've eaten grass!)  Sauteed liscaro makes a delicious healthy…

  • Going Hog-Wild in Urbino, Supporting Local Pig Farmers

    Urbino, a city renowned for its art, is also full of pigs!  I was recently invited to breakfast at the organic farm of Carlo & Gigia at Cal Bianchino outside Urbino on a spectacularly sunny day with my friends Paola & Antonio from Gelateria Maki. We were greeted by a herd of geese marching past as we enjoyed the lovely meal prepared by Gigia & Carolina, including of course their mouthwatering home-cured charcuterie.  They are locally famous for their passion of breeding cinta senese pigs. With over 75 pigs, 14 cows & a whole gaggle of fowl from peacocks to hens &…
