Dear friend,

We are happy to celebrate Earth Day, although we have been celebrating Earth, specifically a corner of Earth called Italy, for a long time and even before "green", "organic" and "sustainable" were common words of every socially responsible person's vocabulary.

For years, we have championed obscure producers who have showed us their love for the land and their ...]]> Tue, 22 Apr 2008 15:00:00 GMT

Dear friend,

If you, like we did , think red rice is somewhat of an esoteric ingredient, think again. Although we won’t let go of our Carnaroli and Vialone Nano anytime soon, getting to know red rice has thrown us for a spin in o...]]> Tue, 08 Apr 2008 15:00:00 GMT

Dear friend,

I always loved Porcini mushrooms, but I stopped cooking with them when I learned that most Porcini mushrooms sold in food stores and supermarkets come from (mainly) China or other countries like Romania, Turkey or Poland. Of all the porcini sold, I'm told, optimistically, only 2% are Italian.
Not any more! Wed, 25 Oct 2006 15:00:00 GMT

Dear friend,
last night, I ordered a salad at a good restaurant. The choice of dressing was an endless range of industrial offerings: thousand island, blue cheese, balsamic vinaigrette, ranch and russian. I asked for plain extra virgin olive oil, preferably in its bottle. Instead, a green colored liquid in a cruet arrives and, after a smell test, I decided to eat my salad naked.
