    3 questions about pizza.

    As my brother's only brother use to say, the only bad pizza is the one you don't eat :lol: Seriously, I will not even start to talk about the kind of stuff we've been trying on pizza here. I mean, here in Italy. By the way, I don't think that pizza is considered an Italian specialty anymore, it...

    What to do w/oxtails?

    Hi giggler, you can try Coda alla vaccinara, one of the most famous recipes of the cucina romana, Rome style cooking. I made only one time, and I miserably failed: I had no patience, and I did’nt cook the oxtail long enough. It’s basically a stew, although I read somewhere that the original...

    Nice interview to Portland's G. Rucker RE his cookbook

    Hi friends, just found this interview online, chef Gabriel Rucker of Portland's Le Pigeon talking about his cookbook, Le Pigeon: Cooking at the Dirty Bird. I really enjoyed this article, has anyone got this cookbook? Maybe the recipes are not exactly for the fainthearted (elk tongue...

    Pasta with Butter

    Ahhhhhhh, I love you kades! :-) Pasta with butter, or "pasta al burro" as we call it here, is an all-time favorite of mine. I love it for its simplicity, despite of its bad reputation: many of us Italians consider pasta al burro just a "quick" solution, when you have no time or no desire to...

    Naked Ravioli

    Beautiful. Except for milk, in Italy we little ones just got water until we came of age for the wine. Which in my times could be anywhere between 6 years and 13 years old... :lol: Now I'm afraid they are all on artificial sodas, their little bodies and minds getting full of that schifezza. :sad:

    Chicken and Beef Rice Pilaf

    And we cannot forget Cioppino, can we? In Italy we don't even know what it is. First time I'll be in San Francisco (maybe summer 2020 :ohmy:) I need to taste it.

    Chicken and Beef Rice Pilaf

    Noooo, vermicelli mixed with rice... :ohmy: :lol: I never tried this kind of recipe, but yesterday I changed my eating routines, and I'm going to eat rice each and every lunch, because I want to build a body like a sumo wrestler, you know. So I started with some simple basmati rice boiled, then...

    Naked Ravioli

    Hi acerbicacid, I would try them with a simple tomato and basil sauce, maybe with some chilli to spice them up a little. Off-topic: I just came back from Kent, spent a week in Tonbridge. And I must say, Kent is a WONDERFUL place :smile: And they make good wine there too :ohmy:

    Yet another version of Grilled Cheese

    Well done Stinky_Sullivan! Maybe I'll add some calabrese HOT sausage, drop Swiss and Cheddar, keep provolone, add pecorino (not too aged) and some gorgonzola, not the runny variety. :pig: Thanks

    Self-proclaimed cook says 'Hey!'

    Very good choice for a recipe, rockey_f_squirrell! :yum: Maybe I'm just a little biased about spaghetti, since I'm both Italian and an infamous pasta-eater... :pig: Welcome to DC

    What have you had for breakfast lately?

    I can't. I always have the pistachioless variety :yum: Now, that was my old-time classic breakfast: a cup of espresso and a couple of Lucky Strikes... :neutral:
