Hunting Truffles in Italy

After a day of hunting truffles in the Piemontese hills, I give the guide dog a treat! Turn to my beautiful cookbook Whatever Happened to Sunday Dinner? for tagliatelle with truffles, the most decadent pasta dish you’ll ever eat! #thisissundaydinner #winterinpiemonte #livinlavitalisa #truffles #huntingfortruffles

Il Forno in Italy

Il Forno, literally “the oven” is where you find bread and pastries in Italy! In Menu 5 of This is Sunday Dinner, you’ll find a delicious and easy recipe for hazelnut cookies that are wonderful for dessert or with afternoon coffee. #alforno #pasticceria #thisissundaydinner #winterinpiemonte #livinlavitalisa

Candy Trucks in Italy

One of my favorite things in Italy- candy trucks on Sunday afternoons! At Forte dei Marmi, the seaside town where my children and I vacation, they would squeal with delight when they were small as they saw the big, black candy truck arrive for the weekend. Here, in Piemonte in the town of Alba, the […]

Fonduta in Piemonte

Always pair your delicious dishes for Sunday Dinner with an appropriate wine! For Piemonte, see my wonderful suggestions in Menu 1 of This is Sunday Dinner #thisissundaydinner #winepairings #whateverhappenedtosundaydinner #livinlavitalisa

Sagre Festivals in Italy

One of my favorite parts of living in Italy is the sagre- festivals for every type of food imaginable! Here, we celebrate the truffle. And there is nothing more decadent than Polenta Fritta, fried Polenta on a fall or winter day. Look at Menu 9 in This is Sunday Dinner for the recipe! #thisissundaydinner #livinlavitalisa […]

Sunday Dinner in Florence

I have wonderful memories of Sunday Dinner at home in Florence with my children. Lasagne al forno, Italian comfort food, always brings me back to those days.

Tiramisu in Italy

After a delicious plate of tiramisu on Sunday afternoon, there is nothing like an espresso with a beautiful view. Make my tiramisu recipe in Menu 39 in Whatever Happened to Sunday Dinner? #thisissundaydinner #livinlavitalisa #whateverhappenedtosundaydinner

Olive Selection

An important step in assuring that the final product of olive oil will be perfect is selecting the best olives! Look at Menu 44 in This is Sunday Dinner for my Pappa al Pomodoro recipe, made with the harvested Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a favorite of Italian children and adults alike! #EVOO #harvest #fallintuscany #thisissundaydinner […]

Raccolta

The raccolta, a 1,000 year plus tradition following in the footsteps of my ancestors! Harvesting the olives in the Tuscan hills to make Extra Virgin Olive Oil! Refer to p. 259 in This is Sunday Dinner for an explanation of which Olive Oil is best for your needs. #EVOO #harvest #fallintuscany #thisissundaydinner #livinlavitalisa

Tuscan Pranzo

A beautiful pranzo out in the country dining al fresco under the Tuscan sun! What could be better than Menu 51 with grilled country sausage and lentils and fennel? A typical fall pranzo. Buon Appetito! #thisissundaydinner #fallintuscany #livinlavitalisa

Picking Grapes in Tuscany

After a long morning of picking grapes, there is nothing more satisfying than coming in for a hearty fall pranzo such as Menu 49 with the classic Chicken in Vin Santo sauce made with the sweet, Tuscan dessert wine. #fallintuscany #thisissundaydinner #livinlavitalisa #harvest

Autumn in Tuscany

It’s Autumn in Tuscany! And what do we do? We harvest the grapes for the vendemmia! Turn to Menu 48 and prepare the classic Chianti ragu, a rich meat sauce laden with Chianti wine. This will warm you up on a crisp Fall evening. Che abbondanza! #thisissundaydinner #vendemmia #harvest #fallintuscany #livinlavitalisa

Tuscany Wine Cellar

In my beloved Tuscany, getting the wine from the wine cellar! Menu 45 features the traditional Tuscan bread and bean soup, ribollita, which pairs beautifully with a fine Chianti. Buon Appetito! #fallintuscany #thisissundaydinner #chianticountry #underthetuscansun #livinlavitalisa

Sicilian Vegetables

The vegetables in Sicily are unlike any you have ever seen. 100% organic, as no fertilizers are used, grown under the hot Sicilian sun, they are flavorful and abundant. Turn to Menu 34 and make delicious Sicilian stuffed tomatoes, marsala style! #thisissundaydinner #summerinsicily #lastdaysofsummer #livinlavitalisa #verdure #ortolano

Sicilian Sea Salt

An ancient tradition on my ancestral home island of Sicily, the salt pans in Trapani are considered the producers of the best sea salt in the world! This is due to the perfect climactic traditions of southwest Sicily: hot North African winds, plenty of sunshine, and clear Mediterranean water. Flavor all your favorite dishes with […]

Fresh Catch

After a long day out on the fishing boat getting the fresh catch for dinner, we pull the boat in to the port of Mazarra del Vallo. Turn to Menu 27 in “This is Sunday Dinner” for a delicious grilled summer fish with our typical Sicilian green sauce. #thisissundaydinner #summerinsicily #lastdaysofsummer #livinlavitalisa
