Just about any occasion sends me to the kitchen to create. My pots and pans are my culinary canvas. I cook dinners for friends' birthdays, for holidays, and three times a day for my family.
I learned to cook while living in Rome though, truth be told, my love affair with food began long before that. I get inspiration from colors, scents, and textures in the markets and can't follow a recipe to save my life.
Friends have always said that I should write a cookbook. My retort, valid I think, is that my lack of measurements would frustrate most people trying to replicate my dishes. But blogs seem faster, looser and more forgiving in that regard.
My hope is that my descriptions and photos will inspire you to get out to the farmers markets or down an aisle at the grocery store that intimidates you, try some new ingredients, and get crazy with the herbs and spices!
Buon appetito!
