Whoa. A year has already passed. Time really flies. I must confess that I had meant to write a very special post for the Culinary Taste’s first blogoversary (which, incidentally, is also my 4th wedding anniversary), but here I am, with a lot to say and very little time to do it. So I’ll try to be short. Read More
Stewed Rhubarb with Honeyed Mascarpone
Do you remember the bunch of rhubarb from my garden? The one mentioned here. Well, it has finally been turned into something. Something really tasty, refreshing and very, very summery: stewed rhubarb. That, incidentally, has been turned into an article on Honest Cooking as well (bear with me: I’ll talk about HC now and then in this blog).
Cherry Jam
I know I’m a bit late with this recipe: the cherry season is almost gone by now. All the same, I had bought a lot of cherries to make the Red Fruit Crumble and I couldn’t help making some jam.

Red Fruit Crumble
After a long-coveted vacation full of bathing and sun-bathing, we are ready to start again with a post I already published on Honest Cooking: a red fruit crumble.

Honest Cooking’s Artichoke Risotto with Artusi’s Fried Artichokes
June has brought a wave of fresh news to me and to the blog. I, Rita, have become an official contributor to Honest Cooking online magazine. This is a great adventure for me because Honest Cooking shares the best of worldwide recipes and food-related articles written by well-established bloggers and food writers. So, don’t worry if it takes me a while to update the blog or if I can’t visit yours: I’m just a little busier than usual (and don’t forget I have a toddler crawling around all the time!!). Well, here’s the very first article I wrote for Honest Cooking (click here to see the HC page). I hope you enjoy it!
