ALL WE KNOW ABOUT ITALY SO FAR

We didn’t just want to make Italian food. We wanted to know every detail, every story behind what we were serving. So, we’ve traveled through Italy and learned from the masters. Here’s every secret we brought back…

We also partner with a few friends from Italy who regularly share their local traditions on our blog. Go check their posts and learn everything about Italian food!

My mother and grandmother took it upon themselves to use my cooking lessons as a simultaneous alphabet lesson. I used to have so much fun doing this with my family, so I hope that by giving you this list, you’ll be able to carry on these same traditions with your little ones.

For many Italians of my generation, la mattonella (or "Lu mattò," in my dialect) is a treasured childhood memory. And if you've never heard of it, I'll take care of it today.

If you’re a New England native, odds are you’ve been to Mystic, Connecticut. It’s so close to so many things. Beaches, shipyards, an iconic aquarium, and not to mention the world famous Mystic Pizza. Surprisingly enough, for how small and quaint the little town is, there are also a great amount of breweries. Here are my favorite ones.

So whether you live in the beautiful condos of Meriel Marina Bay or are just visiting the hidden gem for a classic waterfront dining experience, Marina Bay is the perfect spot to enjoy exquisite New England-inspired plates and a wide selection of pub-style appetizers. Here are the best spots to check out!

Today is November 2, and the nations where Catholicism is the predominant religion celebrate All Souls Day. Or, as we call it in Italy, the Festa dei Morti (Celebration of the Dead). For this occasion, I decided to try making le fave dei morti for the first time.

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Alyssa, from @bottomlyssbites. A scientist by day and foodie by night, Alyssa has been having the best time running her food account for last year.
