Italian Recipes A-Z

Hello, here I am. Born in Italy I had a classic education with two wonderful parents who gave me a taste for travelling. After graduating from the German school in Rome, my life has been rich in incredible adventures. I started to work early and tried a lot of different jobs. Being bilingual with German I have been a professional translator at first. The job I enjoyed most is that for 15 years I had the chance to work as a tour guide. This was a wonderful job that gave me the chance to travel a lot, especially inside my country, which by now I know very well. One of my hobbies is cooking, eating, and wines. During my tours I learned a lot and I am ready to share my secrets.

For me, this blog is just a start here in America. Perhaps, if people like my cooking, I should open an authentic Italian-style restaurant, which we call a trattoria. For me the good Trattorias have one main concept, and it is one that I share: Keep everything simple: Four entries, four main dishes, two desserts. There would a daily set menu as the food selection would be different every day , just like in the loved places at home. Fresh food and quality ingredients would be the key. Do You think people would like that here?
