Ciao!
It is my pleasure to bring you the Italian recipes and information about Italian cooking. Articles cover food, trends in cooking, and recommendations for wine and resources. Recipes focus primarily on home cooking, with an Italian flair. I will share my experiences, both good and bad, personal opinion, and occasional reveiws of restaurants.
I am an Italiophile who fell in love with Italy while stationed in Europe with the US Army. I jokingly say that I am Italian by desire and not by blood. My husband is second-generation Italian American.
I have lived in Italy and studied cooking there. I would often join the monthly gathering of chefs in Vicenza for their continuing education classes. One of my greatest pleasures is travelling to the out-of-way festa. I have eaten some odd local specialties, some good, some not-so-good.
My husband and I lead bi-annual trips to Italy. We love sharing one of our favorite country´s art, food, and wine. The Slow Food approach to life is very much in sync with mine own.
Your Recipe Requests and Questions
If you have a question or recipe request for me, the best place to ask is in the Italian Food Forum. I recieve hundreds of emails daily and may not be able to answer your email quickly.
If you are looking for a specific recipe a good place to begin is the BellaOnline search function. The recipe may be located in the archives. There are also subject links on the Italian Food page to assist you. Because recipe names vary from region-to-region, and then often changed in the US the recipe may have many names. In the forum we have many experienced cooks who can also assist you. We are also happy to have you share a favorite dish or recipe in the forum.
Please remember, when sending a message via the comment box that I cannot respond without an email. BellaOnline never sells your address to spammers.
Bene e Pace (Blessings and Peace),Paula
