Food, Travel, and Cooking!
When you visit a city fairly often, you notice things that may not have leapt off the page before. For sure the dining season is a’changin! It’s not that we don’t love a great steak or burger. We’ve enjoyed fantastic steaks in Italy, grilled over a wood fire, the Italian way. Eating a good burger […]
I like using the last of the local summer red bell peppers to make this soup. However, during the rest of the year, hot house red bell peppers work nicely too. You could serve the soup as a main course or as a first course. I recommend using Thai rice, it adds such a nice […]
You just can’t help but love the colours of bell peppers! I call for ground veal but I don’t see why ground turkey, ground pork or ground beef would not be just as delicious. A nice big spoonful of tomato sauce with herbs spooned over top would be just the ticket! Makes 4 Peppers 2 […]
Here’s my adaptation of the famous salad. I absolutely adore Cobb Salad. From the tangy blue cheese to the creamy avocado, crunchy lettuce, salty bacon, delicious! Serve with homemade biscuits (see below) or purchased rolls. I’ve been thinking of starting a “Cobb Salad Club” for everyone I know who loves this salad as much […]
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 […]
