Bacon and Avocado Pizza

Bacon and Avocado Pizza by Kate van Hilst

My super talented male whipped this one up for me last night while I was holed up in bed with a broken leg. The thin and crispy pizza base (inspired by one of the lovely ladies I have the pleasure of working with) is by far the quickest and easiest I've come across.

Risotto Alla Milanese

Risotto Alla Milanese by Jenny

Risotto is a typical Italian rice dish cooked in a broth (vegetable, chicken, seafood,etc) to a creamy consistency. It is pretty simple to make and tastes divine! When I tasted this risotto many years ago for the first time I fell in love with it right away. I was surprised by its creamy texture, mesmerized by its colour and amazed…

Calamari Sauce or Side via Pressure Cooker

Calamari Sauce or Side via Pressure Cooker by Laura Pazzaglia

You can double this recipe and serve it as a side dish - Italians actually use it as a second course - or make it as written and mix it in with spaghetti, serve it with rice... or surprise your guests by serving it on a little warm rectangle of white polenta - as seafood is served in the Friuli and Veneto regions of Italy.

Isicia Omentata (a kind of Roman Burger)

Isicia Omentata (a kind of Roman Burger) by Derek Johnsen

Although I enjoy cooking dishes from other countries and cultures, my real interest and love is to cook the food that previous generations cooked and that might not be so popular today. I have been lucky enough to gather together recipes from throughout the ages. Even though my 22 Roman recipes are nearly 2000 years old, you might…

Garbanzo Bean Soup

Garbanzo Bean Soup by Suzi

This garbanzo bean soup is very nourishing and quite easy to prepare. It has a tomato based broth using tomato paste. This is one of the first dishes that I learned how to make when I stopped eating meat, over forty years ago. Back then I ate cheese sandwiches with lettuce and garlic powder everyday until I realized I needed to…

Coral Pasta with Lobster in Creamy Herbed Lemon Sauce

Coral Pasta with Lobster in Creamy Herbed Lemon Sauce by Julie Reihl

This is a dish to impress! I used handcrafted Italian pasta by Torino that derives its unique colors from natural ingredients. The shape of the pasta just begs for seafood, so I added two of my favorites, lobster and caviar. Feel free to experiment with your own seafood mix. The creamy shallot and chive mixture and lemon infused olive…

Easy Risotto & Gourmet Mushrooms

Easy Risotto & Gourmet Mushrooms by Amos Miller

Risotto scares too many cooks. It's really a simple dish, though not commonly served at the American dinner table - unless you have some (usually Northern) Italian blood in your family. When done with care, risotto can be a sublime accompaniment to all types of dishes. In fact, you can add all types of things to a risotto to…
