Food, Travel, and Cooking!
They’re everywhere! Gawd knows how we could have ignored the many and I do mean many, Pasticceria’s in Rome! Maybe we just kept telling ourselves “we don’t normally eat a lot of sweets” or something.” Ha! We finally succumbed on this trip. For research purposes only you understand! A tip from Elizabeth Minchilli sent us […]
More adventures of Joe and Phyllis in Roma, enjoying discovering new things and a revisit to one of the first restaurants we ever went to in Rome. La Carbonara 1906 – Via Panisperna, 214 Once upon a time, in 2010, during our very first visit to Rome as we were roaming about in Monti we […]
Even more Joe and Phyllis eating adventures. Flavio Velavevodoto ai Quiriti – Piazza dei Quiriti, 4/5 – click here for the link. There are two “Temples of Roman Cuisine” (according to their website), one in Prati and one in the neighbourhood of Testaccio. The “room” was comfy, with loads of mirrors and really nice lighting…making […]
We get so much enjoyment finding new restaurants to try and I love sharing our experiences with you! Pane & Vino – Via Ostilia, 8 – click here for the link to their website. And then there are the days when all you want for lunch is a panino! So off to Pane and Vino […]
Here’s the first in a series of our experiences at some restaurants we explored on this latest trip to spend time in our beloved Rome. Enoteca Cul de Sac – Piazza Pasquino, 73 – click here for the link. Not far from Piazza Navona and chosen from my list of Enoteche recommendations; so glad we went! […]
When is a sandwich not a sandwich! When it’s a tramezzino! And when I told a friend I was writing a post about them she exclaimed “WHY THEY’RE JUST HORRIBLE SANDWICHES?” Not so fast…and not to be confused with the very popular Trapezzino. I’ve a thing for sandwiches…always have. I also have a adore Donna […]
This trip we spent 3 weeks in Rome…and yes to all of you who say “3 weeks”…really? Yes, really! We found new places to eat that we’d heard about and returned to a couple we’d enjoyed on our past two stays in Rome. We visited the Castelli Romani with our new, good friend, stopping for this […]
On my wish list for our recent trip to Rome was to go to the Colosseum, have a walk about, go for an apertivo somewhere then walk back to the Colosseum to see it lit up at night! But…sometimes things aren’t meant to be! No lights for us! We were later told it’s not being […]
We had just returned from spending 3 weeks in Rome and you’d think I would be writing about the amazing things we saw and did. That’s for later! Our stay in Rome this trip was made very special by two new friendships made on Facebook. Gareth Jones introduced us to Josephine Wennenholm via Facebook and […]
At this time of year most cooks end up with what some might think of as “those dreaded leftovers”. Then, there are some, like me, who really like the challenge of creating something new and exciting with them! Take a roast turkey for instance! Just think of the possibilities: turkey salad with pears or apples and topped with bleu cheese. And […]
