Week 4 – Lockdown Menu + Recipes
Well that was a very full week meal plan and recipe wise. While Passover and Easter often come at the same time, it seemed like they were extra close this year during lockdown. But these days I’m taking any chance possible to celebrate, so I embraced both holidays full on. Even though I’m Jewish I’m...

Easter Lamb + Pastiera
I know it’s a little late for Easter recipes. But really, who can say what day it is? Easter was probably yesterday, but maybe it was just another Tuesday? It could be Christmas for all I know. And I’m pretty sure it was also Passover at some point Whatever the day (or month or year)...

pasta e fagioli
I have to admit that Pasta e Fagioli has never been at the top of my hit list. I love beans. And I LOVE pasta. But the idea putting the two together has always left me a bit… meh. For instance, if it’s ever on a restaurant menu I would never in my life think...

We’re still out here in Umbria. It’s been exactly a month that we’ve been living in this new world called ‘lockdown’.

focaccia barese

Sophie’s Torta Rustica
During our downtime for tours – December through February – both Sophie and I try to travel. This year Sophie went off to Ghana for few weeks, but in past years she stayed closer to home. And closer to goats. If you know Sophie then you already know about her love for precious goaties. She...

zucchini + tuna pasta
This is one of my favorite dishes that I make all the time: Zucchini and Tuna Pasta. The other day I showed how to make it on Instagram, and I got so many requests for the recipe. I can’t believe I’ve never written it up! Now seems the perfect time since it’s the perfect pasta...

Lockdown Menu Ideas
I’ve been getting a lot of messages on Facebook and Instagram from people looking for ideas of what to cook as you enter into the bizarre world of lockdown. Over on Instagram a lot of people shared photos of their pantries stocked with everything from beans and pasta to Doritos and Cheerios. But even if...
