Caesar Salad: how to grill chicken to perfection

By

As unbelievable as it sounds: there was actually no chicken in the original Caesar Salad recipe. In fact, although the name Caesar Salad to most people means ‘chicken salad’, it is something of a misnomer: the original has been made in countless variations, the most famous of which is the one with the addition of grilled chicken breast. So what is the original Caesar Salad recipe? This is the story. Caesar Salad is one of the most famous salads in the world. It owes its name to the chef who invented it: the Italian Cesare Cardini, who emigrated to San…

Grilled prawn wrap with coleslaw and avocado

By

Kristel Cescotto

A fish dish that reminds us of home, with an exotic aroma that draws us to the table. A main course accompanied by the sound of friendly laughter and the smell of the barbecue. That of grilled prawn wraps with coleslaw and avocado salad. I have always loved piadinas, burritos and wraps. Making them and eating them. Making them because between preparing one ingredient and another I wander through the meanderings of the most beautiful memories, it’s almost cathartic. Eating them because… well, they are precursors to happiness. With a grilled prawn wrap in your hands, everything feels better, you…

By

Kristel Cescotto

Carnival isn’t carnival without these traditional delicacies: frittelle. Whether they are filled with cream (remember our infallible recipe for making them at home?) or more “light” – although I realise that defining anything fried as “light” is a bit of an oxymoron – like the Carnival frittelle with apple and Ricotta cheese that we’re going to tell you about today. Well, it’s of little importance, what is important is their unique deliciousness, a perfect combination of lightness and delicate aroma which will bring a smile of contentment to your face at the first bite.

By

Kristel Cescotto

Gennaio è il mese del ritorno, scandisce il momento di rimettersi all’opera dopo un meraviglioso (e meritato) stop nelle festività natalizie. Durante le scorse giornate di festa anche la mia cucina – complici le infinite cene fuori e gli happy hour lenti delle vacanze – ha goduto di una più che guadagnata vacanza. Oggi torno all’opera, armata di creatività in una mano e furbizia nell’altra, per parlarvi di un filetto di maiale alle mele che non teme rivali. Questo è forse il secondo piatto di carne che più di tutti mi ha regalato confidenza in cucina. Un vero e proprio…

Kristel Cescotto

A light and healthy dish is ideal on a hot summer’s day. And these little stuffed courgettes filled with ricotta cheese, tuna and olives really fit the bill. They are also truly delicious: try one!

Much like that versatile little black dress which suits any situation, courgettes filled with Ricotta cheese can be served warm as finger food while waiting to tuck into a summer barbeque, as a more formal starter, freshly baked as a main course or by slightly increasing the amounts and serving some bruschetta alongside them – as…

Linguine al pesto di rucola e basilico con speck croccante

By

Kristel Cescotto

Un piatto di pasta al pesto di rucola ed è subito casa. Gli amici che si contano sulle dita di una mano attorno a un tavolo di legno in giardino. Il tepore dei primi raggi di sole, quelli primaverili che scaldano prima l’anima e poi la pelle. Della carne che cuoce alla griglia nel barbecue. Il profumo delle braci, il piacere della condivisione, il ciliegio che sfoggia fiero i suoi primi boccioli. Un gusto fresco e sincero come solo un piatto preparato con amore sa esserlo. Il sapore frizzante e spensierato della rucola. Linguine al pesto di rucola che abbracciano i rebbi…
