Carciofi alla romana (Roman-style Artichokes)

Carciofi alla romana (Roman-style Artichokes) by Frank Fariello

Dear readers: I am back from my travels, at my blogging post just in time for the first day of Spring. Artichokes are back in season!

What better way to get back to work, then, than this dish, one of the most typically Roman…

Salsicce con broccoletti

Salsicce con broccoletti by Frank Fariello
