Grilled Zucchini with Stracciatella Join my food & wine tour to Southern Italy to discover more Italian regional specialties!

Grilled Provençal Prawns with Ratatouille Like this recipe? You’ll love my online French cooking class featuring the food of Provence!

Baked Ocean Trout with Mushrooms Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Northern Italian cooking class inspired by Alessandro Pavoni!

The Swiss love creamy salad dressings, often using yoghurt to supply both the creaminess and a little tang. Finely sliced root vegetables such as kohlrabi or celeriac are often served this way. As celeriac are […]
Provençale Omelette Like this recipe? You’ll love my online French cooking class featuring the food of Provence! Provençal omelettes tend to be open-faced rather than the folded omelettes found elsewhere in France.
