Food & Travel Blogger 🇺🇸 I'm a gluten free gourmet traveler, content writer and storyteller in English and Italian. I'm a foreign languages enthusiast, fluently speaking (eating and dreaming) in Italian, English, French, and Russian. When I'm not writing, I cook & style (food & prop styling), and photograph (also on film). Not necessarily in that order 🇮🇹 Food & Travel Blogger. Sono una viaggiatrice buongustaia senza glutine, una creatrice di contenuti e un'appassionata narratrice di storie in italiano e inglese. Appassionata di lingue straniere, parlo (mangio e sogno) fluentemente in italiano, inglese, francese e russo. Quando non scrivo, testo ricette dolci e salate, preparo cibi e bevande per le riprese fotografiche, fotografo (anche in pellicola). Non necessariamente in quest'ordine.
This year I chose to keep my new year resolutions as basic as possible: rise early, meditate and eat healthy(ish). Hoping to be persistent and thinking that I could always add up to the list 😎

[1] Rising early? It’s doable. [2] Eating healthy(ish)? So far so good. [3] Being consistent with meditation? Oops. 😳
“There is absolutely no substitute for the best. Good food cannot be made of inferior ingredients masked with high flavor. It is true thrift to use the best ingredients available and to waste nothing.” ~James Beard Continue reading Food Styling :: Twirling Spaghetti @ Attico7

In the highlight of Swedish Christmas, on the 24th of December, friends and families are celebrating … waiting for Santa to knock at the door with his sack of presents.
Just as “la Vigilia di Natale” in the south of Italy where, while waiting for Santa, we also eat, drink and celebrate.
(The same applies for New Year Eve).
It may seem taken for granted for Italians to expect pasta to be “al dente”, but when we deal with gluten-free dishes, “al dente” is not that “obvious” any more…
È da un bel po’ che testo ricette ma a dire il vero non mi sono mai avventurata nel campo della pasta fresca senza glutine. Da quando sono passata alla dieta senza glutine non mangio quasi mai la pasta, non sono ancora riuscita a trovare una marca che mi piaccia veramente.
I’m always enthusiastic about new things, especially when they are food related. So when I got the invitation from The Swedish Embassy in Rome and my friend Chef Görgen Tidén I’ve been counting the days to open a window on the Swedish cuisine and to try their food.
