Inspired by Bakery Casamoner in Girona, Catalonia.
This kind of flatbread is similar to "focaccia" in Italy and "fougasse" in France. Coca means "cake" in Catalan, though in this case it features a savory dough. In Catalonia, in June, you can also find a sweet version of it called Coca de Sant Joan, typical at celebrations for the birth of Saint John.
By Restaurant Sa Torre in Palau Sator, Catalonia.
This simple and delicious recipe celebrates the fresh ingredients of Catalan cuisine when bell peppers, eggplants, and onions are available in the summer. The picture shows cured anchovies as a possible addition, in a variation offered to us in a restaurant we visited in Catalonia.
Inspired by our American customers, Martha and Sherry, and Hotel Mazzocca in Caramanico, Abruzzo
Pizzelle (meaning "little pizze") is a typical dessert made in Abruzzo, and also the neighbor regions of Molise and Lazio, usually served at Christmas and Easter.
Inspired by friend and colleague Alessandro Allegro who lived in Spain for more than 10 years.
Gazpacho is Andalusian, paella is Valencian, but tortilla is wholly Spanish--not one of the 17 autonomous regions can claim it.
From Chef Ottavio at Hotel Ravelli in Mezzana, Val di Sole (Trentino)
Canederli are another wonderful example of cucina povera, historically a means of using stale bread. In Alto Adige/South Tyrol, they are called knödel, and usually include speck instead of the lucanica (pork sausage) that is more typical of Trentino.
Taste them on a tour of Trentino-Alto Adige/South Tyrol or follow the recipe below at home!
Inspired by Osteria da Carmela in Naples
This simple and delicious dish comes from the little sea village of Nerano on the Sorrento peninsula, near the Amalfi Coast. Our group savored it on tour in Naples in a trattoria, where chef-owner Rosario continues the tradition of cooking the local recipes he learned from his mother Carmela.
Taste it on one of our tours of Campania, or follow the recipe below to try it at home!
Inspired by our Neapolitan friends Peppe and Stefania, met recently on tour in the amazing city of Napoli.
On one of our tours in Campania, you might savor this dish on a picnic. It is typically prepared in advance.
By Lorenzo Dasso, a Liguria fisherman (and architect!) whose recipe and story were published in Italian in the local newspaper Levante News.
For more info on this story, you can see our blog here in english.
By Andrea Marchesini, a friend and tour leader from Liguria.
You might enjoy this dish on our tours in Liguria during the summer time when zucca di trombetta is in season. It is harvested in a juvenile form, when it resembles a thin and long zucchina, and it gets its shape from being grown hanging down off a pergola. In summer, this wonderful veggie is most often served raw, chopped in a salad, or as a sautéed side dish.
By Suzie Regul, a friend and tour leader remembering her mother-in-law Ines and her delicious recipe.
Differing versions are also found in the neighboring region of Molise. Traditionally, in Castel del Monte in Abruzzo, a local sheep-milk cheese called Canestrato, a Slow Food presidium is used. Pecorino may be substituted.
Inspired by Pomp and Sustenance: Twenty-five Centuries of Sicilian Food by Mary Taylor Simeti
The wonderful book contains not only recipes but also local history, traditions, and anecdotes. This dish is typical of the province of Messina where they call the "involtini" (rolls) also "braciole" (chops). You can find it on other parts of the island as well, such as in the capital city of Palermo.
Inspired by Carlo, a Piedmontese friend from Cervere in Piedmont.
Cervere is a little town in the province of Cuneo in Piedmont, which is famous for its leek. A smaller, less pungent variety, the mild and delicate Cervere leek really sings in a risotto.
Near the end of November, in Cervere, you can even attend the local leek festival that celebrates this veggie. After harvest, leeks are stored in a dark room until they reach the peak of flavor.
By Roberta Corradin, a Piedmontese friend, food expert, book author, and blogger.
This simple and delicious recipe celebrates semolina flour in another form from the typical dried pasta. It is typical in Piedmont despite its indication of "Romana" (of Rome). The origin remains a bit of a mystery...
By Wiebke at Agriturismo Casanova in Asciano, Tuscany
This simple and delicious recipe celebrates a unique ingredient called "aglione," which is mostly grown in the Chiana Valley area of Tuscany and harvested between June and August. Its name means "big garlic" to reflect the much larger size of this specific variety. Aglione is way milder and easier to digest than regular, smaller garlic.
Inspired by the Restaurant a Tarefa in Alentejo, Portugal
There are so many recipes featuring cod in Portugal. This one is simple and delicious! The origin of the name is uncertain but seems to come from Lisbon when a Mister Brás invented it.
Inspired by Carla Simondo, a veggie and fruits producer near Albenga and shop owner in Alassio.
Originally from Liguria, the name derives from Pasqua (Easter in Italian). Traditionally, it calls for 33 sheets of dough, marking the years of the life of Jesus Christ. Nowadays, the trend is to use two sheets of dough only.
As Torta Pasqualina stores well and can be served cold, it is also typical at the picnics of Pasquetta (Easter Monday), which Italians love to celebrate together.
By Chef Angela Agolino from Scicli, in Sicily.
This recipe is not just simple and delicious; it also celebrates the power of networking! We met chef Angela through the kind Francesca, a local connection who works in hospitality in the area of Scicli. While we were with our group near Scicli on a villa-based tour, Chef Angela cooked for us one truly unforgettable dinner...
By Chef Roberto Díez from Son Julia Country House in Llucmajor, Mallorca, Spain
Everywhere we go, not only in Italy, we love to collect recipes from chefs and home cooks who are keeping their regional traditions alive for the tasting.
This Tumbet Mallorquin or Mallorcan vegetable bake is reminiscent of Provençal ratatouille or a version of eggplant Parmigiana (minus the cheese) and comes to us from Chef Roberto at Son Julia near Llucmajor on the island of Mallorca. It is typically served as an appetizer or a side dish.
Enjoy it with us on Mallorca or try making it at home. Bon profit (bon appetit in Mallorquin).
By Cristiano Bonino.

Inspired by Restaurant La Cantina in Alberobello, Puglia.
These addictive crackers are typical of the southern Italian region of Puglia where you can find them in restaurants, bars and local homes served as a delicious and crunchy snack or as a meal accompaniment, instead of bread. We visit Restaurant La Cantina in Alberobello on our tours in Puglia.
Inspired by Zdravko and Marion, gourmets & residents of Hvar Island in Croatia.
You might enjoy this dish on our tours of seaside Croatia where it is quite popular. More specifically, the recipe is typical on the Dalmatian Coast. Quoting Zdravko: "Gregada is very much a [island of] Hvar dish. On [the island of] Korčula they have popara, which is similar, but uses tomatoes to make the sauce red and is usually served with macaroni, preferably homemade."
Suggestions from Marion: "It’s a very simple dish, and so the instructions are not very precise. It all depends on what you find at the market that day!"
Inspired by Restaurant Antica Focacceria San Francesco in Palermo, Sicily.
You might enjoy this recipe on tour with us in Sicily. It is most typical in the province of Palermo, but you can find it very much appreciated all over the island.

Inspired by a "feed zone" in Castelnuovo Berardenga, Tuscany during the "Eroica" vintage bicycle event.

Inspired by Restaurant I Scalini in Sant'Antonino on the island of Corsica in France.
You might enjoy this celebrated French dish on one of our tours in France such as Provence or Corsica. We typically enjoy it at lunch time on Corsica when we stop at the village of Sant'Antonino, near Calvi, and savor it along with the beautiful views of the coast from inland. Variations revolve around the four major ingredients: goat cheese, bread, tomatoes, and lettuce.
A celebrated dish from the Veneto region, this version comes to us from Bistrot La Cantinetta in Follina.
You might enjoy this recipe on one of our tours in Veneto at the Bistrot La Cantinetta! There, the chef uses the local Slow Food Presidium rice variety called "Grumolo delle Abbadesse."

Inspired by Restaurant Le Due Isole in Bosa Marina, Sardinia.
You may find and enjoy this recipe in many regions of Italy, above all, when you are by the sea. We usually enjoy it for lunch along the Sardinian shore, after our coastal ride from Alghero to Bosa.
By Carmelo Conigliaro from Agriturismo Case Damma, and Eva Greco, a tour guide in Siracusa.
You might enjoy this recipe on one of our tours in Sicily, although Sicilian oranges reach their peak in winter. Carmelo explained that this salad was typical winter fare of peasants who would prepare a simple meal with whatever was available. Versions vary, depending on the locality. For example, Eva confirmed that her aunt adds black olives. In any case, all are delicious. We can't wait to taste them again on future tours in Sicily!
Inspired by Mimmo Corcione.
You might enjoy this recipe on one of our tours in southern Italy, although this is not so popular in restaurants. Rather, it is another Italian dish inspired by the urge not to waste anything in the kitchen!
Mimmo Corcione is a retired Neapolitan man who does not define himself a "chef" but is surely a "buongustaio" ("gourmet" in French and English). In 2020, we enjoyed watching his videos while "traveling" from our kitchen, following his traditional recipes.
Here we offer the Portuguese version of the celebrated Spanish cold soup "gazpacho" from Andalucia region. We enjoyed it during the summer at the restaurant Adega Regional in Elvas, in the Alentejo region.
You might savor this recipe in the summer on our tour in Portugal at the restaurant Adega Regional in Elvas, which specializes in the traditional cuisine of the Alentejo. The main way that this version differs from the Spanish one is that the veggies are not blended but simply diced alongside cubed stale bread and diced water.
This version of a celebrated Sicilian dish comes to us from Osteria dei Sapori Perduti in Modica, Sicily.
You might enjoy this recipe on our tour in Sicily at the Osteria dei Sapori Perduti! There, they use the local Slow Food Presidium of fava beans called "cottoia," which are usually harvested in late May for the freshest consumption or are available in dried form all year round. Or, try it for dinner tonight at home!
