What can you do with a pumpkin?

After alot of  work with the editing of the new video it's finally ready. It's cut in two parts since it's more than 10 minutes hope that won't be any problem for you. This time I choose to do 3 recipes with pumpkin as an experiment to see the feedback, I'm guessing not many know how to use this particular vegetable! In Italy it's very well used from autumn to spring and there are many traditional dishes for example tortelloni di zucca, risotto con la zucca, gnocchi di zucca and so on... There are different varieties of pumpkin but the one that I recommend to use is the one you can see in the video, as you'll see it's not the typical halloween pumpkin... I insert a picture as you see, and it's the greenish ones that I use.

These dishes that I make this time are absolutly delicious and very simple, so...just follow the links for the videos and enjoy!

New and fun ideas.

Welcome everybody!

For fun I and Trisha started this blog where we will post videos where I'm cooking and write about food, cooking, ingredients etc. Some lines about meditation will probably also sneek in... This is our passion, so what could be a better fit??? :)

Since people likes my cooking we thought we would give them a chance to do it themselves at home in their kitchen. My way in the kitchen is very simple and the most important thing is good ingredients and to have FUN!

This spring I will do a cooking class in Modena at the Salotto Culturale Aggazzotti, also with Trisha I'm planning a evening event at the new fancy hotel Yu Resort. And who knows, there could also be a new Osho festival in autumn to plan.


So, back to the cooking! If you follow the link you'll see my first video, where you will see that my favorite words  are "So now...." :) I'm making a very simple dish that anyone can do with tofu, greenbeans and roasted spring onions. Enjoy and good luck in the kitchen!
