Orange flavored artichokes? Unusual and delightful. A new sensation for your taste buds.

My very refined version of an all time Italian recipe. Only balsamella sauce to top these meat filled cannelloni.

Juicy and tender pork roast is very tasty. In this recipe is cooked in orange juice and dressed with orange slices to make it an unforgettable dish.

The best of artichoke’s flavor comes to life when this vegetable is cooked in a simple way.

Flavored with raisin and candied orange this classic panettone is topped with a sugar glaze.

Testimonials

This soft potato mold took his name from the French “gateau”. Many Neapolitan preparations derive their names from French words such as Ragu’, Gatto’, Sciu’, Sartu’....

These cookies, called Rococo’ because of their donut shape, are popular in the countryside and in the modest farms of the Campania region. Simple, fast, and crunchy they are served mainly for Christmas.....

This simple cauliflower salad is typically prepared in Naples for the Christmas festivities and “reinforced” adding more ingredients to last until January.....

Naples is birthplace to pizza, but pizza is not only oven baked. Here is a traditional recipe for the less known but tasty fried “pizzelle”.

Neapolitan Cuisine is without doubt the most celebrated Italian cooking style. The cooking of the region of Campania seems to symbolize the most stereotypical Italian cooking. Campania is celebrated for the excellence of its pasta, many sauces such as Ragu’, Marinara and Puttanesca, the tomatoes, the fish and seafood, the Buffalo mozzarella cheese, the lemons and the Limoncello of Sorrento, and Naples is birthplace to pizza, the most popular food on hearth.
