Como Lake. . . @como #italianbeauties #loveitaly

Just over Switzerland’s border there is Como, with it’s beautiful surroundings and ancient villas facing the lake. In just one sentence, Como lake is worth a stop. . . @como @comolake #villaolmo #goingarounditaly #italianbeauties #italy

A summer night in the magical location of the ancient Trulli buildings. All of this, of course, washed down with great wine by @walkingwinepuglia , and good music in the background. 🌕🍷🍷 @weareinpuglia @amolapuglia #wine #mieru

The vine tomatoes is one of the most known variety of tomato. When they are ripe the flesh is soft and thick, and the taste is well balanced between sweetness and acidity. These tomatoes are very versatile, perfect to be eaten both cooked and raw. This week we’ve baked these vine tomatoes following the original recipe that our dear friend Chiara, from Umbria region, has shared with us. As this dish is made with very few ingredients, in order to get a tasteful and excellent result, don’t be stingy in using fresh herbs and good quality cheese.

This Nutella roll cake is utterly delicious. We got to know that is also called “Swiss Roll Cake.” We really don’t know why this name as we’ve never found it in a Swiss bakery or at least not here in Zurich. But we may be wrong, so let us know if you tasted it and where… wherever you are in the world!

Our dear friends Claudia and Chiara shared this tasty, robust and traditional recipe from Umbria, a region of central Italy with us. The name of this dish comes from Norcia – Nursia, a charming town known for one of the best sausages in Italy, for the black truffle, for Castelluccio di Norcia lentils, for the beautiful scenery of unspoiled nature and historical monuments. If you happen to be there don’t forget to visit a norcineria, a grocery shop where you can buy or taste pork cured meat made by expert local butchers.
