Culinary Adventures with Camilla

  This is a sponsored post written by me in conjunction with the  Consorzio of Prosecco Superiore DOCG. Wine samples were provided for this post and this page may contain affiliate links Let me start with this: I have always adored Italian bubbles. So, when Nicole of Somm's Table put out that the Consorzio of Prosecco Superiore DOCG was offering sample bottles to participate in a recipe contest, Certo! was my immediate answer. Not long after, I received a bottle of Le Contesse Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Extra Dry and began considering a pairing...or two. Let's start with a little primer about Prosecco...  DOC vs. DOCG from cartizzepdc.com There are two classification labels for Prosecco - DOC and DOCG. On the map, above, you can see that the green area is the DOCG; the brown is the production area of DOC.  DOC is the acronym for  Denominazione di Origine Controllata  while DOCG means  Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garan...

If you have been following my blog recently, you'll know that I am making my way through a series of books by Laura Bradbury. The third book in the line-up is My Grape Christmas. * In this book, Laura and Franck are back in Burgundy to celebrate the Christmas holidays with his family. This book included more French wine, lavish holiday meals, and some drama as Franck's mother seems determined for Franck to reunite with his French ex-girlfriend. As as jetlag and constant motion collide, Laura drinks a lot of coffee. I smiled when I read this... "The espresso was quickly served to me in a tiny ceramic cup with 'Illy' emblazoned on the side—the name of a well-known Italian espresso company that I’d seen used in bars and cafés all over France" (pg. 2). Seeing that always make my little espresso-loving heart sing, too. I found this at a hot dog stand in Pacific Grove and was so excited! It's been a favorite brand of mine since before I lived in Italy.          ...

When I was doing some research for a collaboration with Dineen Vineyards, I came across their recipe for Peanut Butter-Miso Cookies . All of those words make my little foodie heart go pitter-patter. But I didn't have white miso and tried it with red miso.  Even for this savory-leaning gal, it was too much. So I ended up dipping the cookies in chocolate to mask the overpowering miso flavor. Then I set about testing different proportions for peanut butter to miso. I even added in some tahini in one batch.  Even though I liked this version, my peanut gallery still responded: Why do you have to try to put together peanut butter and miso?!? Those really don't go well. Maybe I should get some white miso and try that. "Maybe you should just stop with the miso cookies!"  Well, fine. Some people might like them. So, I'm sharing the recipe because I like them.   Ingredients makes approximately 20 cookies 225 grams (or 1-1/2 cups for volume measurements) flour  1/2 teaspo...

  This month, Nicole of  Somm's Table  picked the topic of Celebrating BIPOC Winemakers & Winery Owners for our February Wine Pairing Weekend blogging group. I'll be honest: when I first saw her theme, I had no idea what that even meant. BIPOC. The acronym BIPOC refers to "black, indigenous, and people of color." So, I did some reading and ordered three different bottles from different winemakers. More on that in a second. If you are reading this soon enough, feel free to join our live Twitter chat on Saturday, February 13th at 8am Pacific. Follow the hashtag #WinePW and be sure to add that to anything you tweet so we can see it. In the meantime, all of these posts should be live by chat time. Here's what the bloggers are sharing...  Truffle Chip-Crusted Goat Cheese Truffles + McBride Sisters Brut Rosé on Culinary Adventures with Camilla The Many Talents of John Legend from A Day in the Life on the Farm Family and Wine Go Together for These Black-owned Bus...
