Culinary Adventures with Camilla

Buon Anno! Happy New Year! Welcome to the first post of 2022 for the Italian Food Wine Travel group. I am hosting and decided to change things up slightly.

If you are reading this early enough, and aren't too groggy from your end-of-2021 celebrations, you are welcome to join our Twitter chat on New Year's morning. 8am. Just follow the hashtag #ItalianFWT and be sure to add that to anything you share so we can see it.  Here's what the writers were inspired to post...

  As the year wraps up, I'm turning my eyes towards all of the fun we're going to have next year. So, I'm kicking off 2022's #ItalianFWT with an event that it wide open in its scope.

Back in 2016, I found myself without a wine to pour from Basilicata. Boo! But I made Calzone di Vedure for that #ItalianFWT post. This month, as Susannah of Avvinare hosts the group with an invitation to explore Wines from Lesser Known Italian Regions ,   I am sharing a wine from Basilicata along with something that looks like a calzone, but hails from Argentina instead of Italy: But first, if you are reading this early enough, feel free to jump in on the live Twitter chat - Saturday, December 7th, at 8am Pacific time.

So, when R came back from his Spring break trip to Italy and Greece, he commented that everyone was impressed with how fresh and tasty the food was. He said, "Ehh...this is what my mom cooks everyday. Squid ink pasta, risotto, homemade pizza." Okay, my family is a little spoiled. Maybe more than a little.  And, when I asked him what meal he wanted as his welcome-home dinner, he said, "Asian or Mexican." He had had enough Mediterranean food to last him...well, a week. Because exactly a week after he returned, he asked if I could make pizza. Done. He wanted Margherita pizza. I added some 'ndjua to pair with a wine from Lodi that was part of a virtual tasting earlier this week. You can read about that in my  Malfatti di Ricotta con Basilico e...
