Yaaay! So glad I could help with this episode, proud of you for not getting the spoon out for the tagliatelle!
haha I could hear the italians whispering in my ear...NO SPOON!!!!! Thank you Anna for helping out!!!!!!
@annagiambarda thank you Anna!
I just have to tell you that you have great hair! It’s how I wish my curls were!
Guilty😅
@@BerylShereshewsky Make an episode with Moringa! A very under appreciated plant that has great nutritional benefits…
Everytime I see foreigners online trying Swedish food at restaurants it's always Swedish meatballs. So I think it would be fun with some Swedish food :)
There’s so much more to Swedish food than just meatballs ❤
I have swedish friends and I have the opportunity to ate an home made dinner by them. Milk and fish are kings
I am so curious about this 😊
Absolutely yes! As a Swede living in the UK, I'm forever sharing foodie suggestions to people..there's so much more than meatballs! And don't get me started on Sami food.. delicious!
gimme that green princess cake
Those sardines are huge! I can confirm they're usually smaller in Italy, and my husband 100% eats the whole thing. They're also really good grilled in garlicky breadcrumbs!
Yes, I was thinking the same thing too! And I eat them whole too, but big like that I don't think it is possible 😅
I have seen sardines this big in Italy, but when they were this big, they have been filled.
They looked similar in size to Portuguese sardines. I love them grilled and on top of broa (Portuguese cornbread). You eat them with your fingers and the oils seep into the bread, which you eat last. 😋Reminds me of summers visiting family in Lisbon
I've seen bigger ones in Spain, at coastal restaurants.
Funny to say, but as an Italian I rarely order pasta in a restaurant, because most of the time It's something I can more or less easily do at home whenever I want! Italian appetizers are underrated, I always order one of them and most of the time a "secondo" ( "firsts" dishes in Italy are with pasta or rice, "seconds" are with meat, fish or vegetables). I like to order pasta only when I am traveling to taste local pasta dish that I can't find in my city.
Exactly! The rule of thumb is to order something that you wouldn't cook for yourself. I do not like the smell of fish in my apartment, so if I eat out, I often order fish.
Being Brazilian I think the same, no way I'm going to eat pasta in a restaurant
There’s nothing like home made pasta!
Makes sense to me. I rarely go out for Italian, because I can generally make it better at home. But some dishes require so much prep time, I do consider ordering those. And yes, Beryl, artichokes are wonderful without needing any sauce. My family stuffs the whole flower before steaming, so I'm not used to the frying, but it looks delicious!
I always like exploring appetizers in family owned restaurants. Especially the ones I don’t recognize. I always look for something that is sounds like a family recipe they are always the best dishes.
I would LOVE to see a Portuguese episode in this series! Portuguese food is so much more than peri peri chicken and pasteis de nata. 🇵🇹🇨🇦
There aren't many Portuguese restaurants in the US unfortunately, even in NYC (at least as of the last time I went, which has been a while) especially not for takeout. I want her to go to Portugal and visit a pastelaria there (except she doesn't like sweet food so much so she wouldn't appreciate it lol)
@@hurricanechelsea damn, that's disappointing to hear. I thought there was a decent amount of Portuguese Americans around NYC and New Jersey for some good restaurant options.
Beryl should go to Fall River, or visit Portugal someday 😉
@@hurricanechelseayou just have to know where the Portuguese communities are in the US. Newark,NJ has many fantastic restaurants and bakeries, and even supermarkets. Just a bit further South in Long Branch,NJ there are some good ones too. Massachusetts also has many Portuguese communities.
I was jumping about to write the same thing! 🇵🇹🇿🇦
@@hurricanechelsea I found a fung bros video that features Northern Portuguese food in Long Island and NYC. Looked legit (and delicious)! czcams.com/video/cexU4NG2y78/video.html
Thanks for featuring me in the video, and you did great without a spoon! Fun fact: Romans always have fried appetizers before their pizza!
raw fennel and orange salad is absolutely wonderful with some young ewe's or goat's cheese splodged over it too. It goes beautifully with roast pork or chicken
Beryl, I just love the way you enjoy your food! Eating with you fingers, sometimes putting too much in your mouth at once, it's a pleasure to watch your enjoyment! 😋 from someone who enjoys eating too! 😍
For leftover pasta, we usually fry it with an egg and parmesan cheese 😊 that is so good!
That sounds like the fried rice version of pasta lol. Sounds delicious.
It’s a shame you did not order any soup dishes or desserts, but it also goes to show how much variety there is in other courses
Hey Beryl! We do use leftover caponata to make pasta! You could just mix it could and have a nice pasta salad OR warm, all mixed toghether with a bit of olive oil and pecorino on top!
Omg if you haven’t already please do Turkish food!! It is fabulously delicious! There is quite the variety to try. The way they season their tomato sauce with spices is TO DIE FOR!
Yes I did Turkish food! There is a playlist with all the cuisines!!
Yeeeeeeessss❤❤❤ Turkish please
She definitely enjoyed it because the hand "talking" was off the charts even putting the utensil down a couple times to fully engage in conversation! 🙌
Thank you for featuring so many vegetarian dishes! I’m excited to try some Italian dishes that really celebrate vegetables.
Italian food is much more vegetarian than you would think.
"I feel like I'm a child discovering things" is the best vibe ever. 🥰
I would love for you to try Persian/Iranian food! In the city, there’s so many restaurants but my favorites are Persepolis and Ravagh
As a Mexican, I can tell you Mediterranean food is the best. Everything seems to be cooked fresh. Mediterranean food also incorporates a lot of healthy sea food.
As a greek ( a Mediterranean country ) this is really flattering to hear that from people that are known for their delicious food like mexicans
totally agree even tho i’m obsessed with mexican food but mediterranean food is just top tier and because i’m from a mediterranean country lol.
The Mediterranean diet has helped me lose over 40 pounds, and the food is always good!
@NoorLevyrroni I think good food has a few ingredients, but they are healthy and cooked well.
I am an Indian, but my heart goes out to Mediterranean cuisine too ❤
Caponata - Italy
Ratatouille - France
Pisto - Spain
Briam - Greece
Basically the same thing but slightly different preparation. I'm pretty sure there's something very similar in North Africa and the Levant.
It makes sense if you think about it every single of those countries have a similarity and that is that all of them are Mediterranean countries: Albania, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Cyprus, Egypt, France, Greece, Israel/Palestine, Italy, Lebanon, Libya, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, Morocco, Slovenia, Spain, Syria, Tunisia, and Turkey am sure each country has their own versions of similar or the same dish just like you mentioned
That's because it's a Jewish dish. I'm not sure why people don't mention that fact. Also because Meditteranean cultures have blended a lot in general over the past 3,000 years.
@@nothing7666 That's the general reason that these countries have dishes in common but caponata is a Jewish dish.
except in sicily. their caponata di melanzane is a bit different. it’s deep fried eggplant cubes, tossed in a tomato sauce full of celery, green olives and basil. pine nuts or almonds are usually there as well and it is made a but sweet and sour by adding sugar and vinegar. usually served cold on a slice of toasted bread.
@@uncopino That's where caponata is FROM.
Italian vegetables are so underrated here in the USA! I’m so glad you showcased them here.
Artichokes are the worst to prepare though...it's so much easier to chop up a bell pepper for example.
Not "worse" but definitely take time, and some skill. Since this particular recipe only calls for the heart, not the entire artichoke, you can buy frozen artichoke hearts at most grocery stores@@corinneskitchen
@@manimanibooboo Clearly I am talking about fresh ingredients, and clearly I feel it's the worst due to how long they take. You're really weird for basically telling me I can't think that.
But 'worst' isn't the correct word for 'labor intensive '. Some people don't find that to be 'bad'.
Fresh Artichokes with garlic shrimp was one of the 1st meals I ever cooked for my (american) wife. She never had 'em before and was blown away!
Forget the canned stuff! About a year ago, I made the Pasta Alla Genovese, following the recipe of Glen and friends cooking. It was A M A Z I N G !
Also, the bolognese from chef John (Food Wishes), following the instructions of Marcella Hazan is just fantastic.
I really need more recipes with fennel.
Greetings from the far north of Germany!
YUM! Artichokes & eggplant are my two favorite veggies! Fennel's pretty good too! My fave Italian dish is called eggplant involtini-- it's eggplant rolled around ricotta & parm before being covered in ragu and baked. It's lighter than eggplant parm, so you really get to taste the eggplant.
Ooh that sounds good! And like a nice gluten free alternative to parm
@@alainadacosta1222parmigiana is already gluten free
@@idek7438 Yes, thanks :) - I meant the eggplant parm dish. Typically when I've had it, it's been breaded
My italo-brazilian family has always make Caponata but we do it roasted, and the sweetness comes from raisins ;) I don't know if it's traditional, but it is definitely delicious. We also cut the pieces way smaller, like in 1cm cubes maybe, add olives and I, myself, like to add capers too. Absolutely delicious to eat with sourdough bread
Capers and olives are more like stuff we'd use for codfish or similar.
What you describe seems like a combination between caponata and a seafood dish, lovely. The raisins are definitely a singular.
Love from Italy
Caponata has definitely raisins capers , olives and pine nuts it’s a sweet and tangy dish because of the added vinegar in the cooking
Caponata has a bittersweet taste. No Brasil confundem muito este particular...ela é agridoce, tem açúcar e vinagre. Pode ser feita com tomate, azeitonas, alcaparras, uva passa, pimentão...mas o básico é salsão, berinjela (frita) cebolas brancas e pinoli. EM pedaços GRANDES! não pequenos
An artichoke is like a scallop without the seafood taste. Both are really good with butter and garlic.
With leftover pasta you can make a frittata, reusing leftovers is an important part of Italian cuisine
I was going to say, she needs a video on how to properly use the leftovers! Heavens knows the Italians have plenty of ways to use them.
Leftover pasta with meat sauce fried in a hot pan is underrated. It almost becomes its own thing, getting a little crispy here and there. Add a splash of red wine.
I came here Just to say that!
@@gregmuon Have you tried pan fried gnocchi or risotto? I think I like them even more as a leftovers
@@bree4673 That's true, just thinking about how many regionals recipes use stale bread. I think that Beryl has some videos with recipes using scraps or leftovers.
It's validating to me when Beryl can't describe a flavor without saying just exactly what the food is- yet, she still does well with what comes out. I hate when people ask me and i'm stuck saying "It's its own thing" and then they just scoff
It’s a real thing though some foods are just what they are haha
Im Italian American and these are the foods i grew up on. So good!!
You had some of my favorites today! I've been eating caponata since childhood (starting with Progresso brand in a can) & now I make my own. Fennel is a necessary ingredient in my salads, & I love artichokes in almost any form. Of course, i love pasta.
Me too! My parents served Progresso caponata at parties. Now I make it at home, as recently as last week, and I just love it.
It's interesting for me to see the perspective of Italians from Italy. I'm a second-gen Italian-Canadian and we RARELY eat out at Italian restaurants which I'd say is pretty standards for Italians in North America. The beauty of Italian food is that it's very simple so we don't see the point of eating out. If I want pasta, I'll make it. HOWEVER, the rare time we did go out for my Nonna's birthday, I would order veal or chicken Piccata and we'd order fried calamari and smelts for the table since frying is always a bigger hassle.
I'm glad to see caponata on this list! My Nonna is from Sicilia and the first (and only) time I ever went, we had caponata and it reminded my dad of his childhood and of his mother who had since passed. I think a lot of people would enjoy caponata, or most Sicilian dishes, because of how unique Sicily is compared to the rest of Italy. The island was conquered by so many so it has a really unique fusion of cultures in its cuisine.
As for everyone's favourite food (pizza), I'm lucky enough that my dad has a pizza oven so when we want pizza in the warmer months he makes it, but I've been known to frequent many an Italian pizza shop.
Same for my Italian family. We all cook, so we don't eat out often, and definitely go for items that are more time consuming or difficult to achieve in a home kitchen.
this whole course with your concise and practical commentary is so good. now im craving to try these dishes when i see them.
Portuguese also love their sardines, super popular in the summer. though we mostly grill them over coals and pair with salad and bread. Really good ones are about twice the size of those, nice and fat. You become a expert a locating the bones on the big ones XD. Tiny sardines, snack sized ones are commonly deep fried though, and of course a huge tradition of can sardines in tomato sauce.
We eat a lot of them in France too ❤😉
Literally was thinking of watching your videos to accompany my dinner. How serendipitous!
I realise just how lucky I am to have all these beautiful dishes as part of our everyday eating-thank you for sharing local Italy with your viewers
I work in Venice and tourists ask me very often to recommend a good restaurant to eat pasta but Italians rarely go out to eat pasta so me and my colleagues never know what to say. The only times I've eaten pasta I didn't make at home it was part of a course menu or at a trattoria.
Io prendo quasi sempre la pasta quando esco. Prendo cose che non faccio a casa tipo i ravioli o gli gnocchi, oppure la pasta allo scoglio o con il ragù di selvaggina
I'd love to see an episode about east African food (Uganda specifically since I've been there). Love this series.
My mood changes for the better 10 out of 10 times when I watch your video. Thanks Beryl! 🙃☺️
Having tried this restaurant I’m so happy to see so many dishes I’ve tried that you enjoyed! Happy eating!
Everything looks so good! Going to have to check out some menus.
Those are really big sardines, in Greece those would be grilled with olive oil and lemon. In greece only smaller sardines are fried, you can eat them bones and all. Other than the large sardines, everything looks great.
Thank you for this! I love this type Italian food.
Your pure joy about the pasta and the artichoke is a thing, it was so nice to see! And totally understandable 😂
Really nice to know what Italian order. Food looks so yumm
My rules: never order anything that is "quick" to make at home (quick being a relative term) which cuts out most pastas...Most pastas can be made in less time than it takes to pull out the menus and order and get delivered
Fried food doesn't count because of cleanup
Unless you are actually in Italy because the quality of produce there can just blow your mind🎉
Depends on what the preparation of the pasta is! Making a good ragu takes hours, and is totally worth the time.
I’ve got the same rule 🙌🏼
@@laifnow I wasn't blown away but I realized in moving to America, Americans are blown away by Italian food because produce in America just taste bad. To the rest of us, this is where Italian food in Italy gets confusing. There's a lot of bland dishes that aren't offset by cooking methods. For instance, my country has pretty bland foods but cooked over charcoal and in a clay pot, you get something else.
Most of the pasta dishes are easy to prepare at home, and less expensive, for sure!
Could you do Jamaican / Caribbean food for the deliver series?
Yes!
Oooh, great suggestion!
🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺
I know I’ve said this in literally every other video lol but I cannot get enough of your videos! Don’t ever leave us!!!! ❤
Yes, pasta is a terrific comfort food!! It will brighten my day anytime ❤
hi beryl, i just wanted to say i appreciate you and everything you do. i am recovering from an ed and sometimes struggle to want to eat, but watching your videos re-ignites my love for food. everything you make always looks delicious and i love your curious and enthusiastic approach to each one. thanks again, have a great day 💜
Congrats on hitting the 750k milestone!!!
OMG the Tag with Ragu di Cinghiale was one of my favorite dishes from the first decent restaurant I ever cooked at. That, and the tagliatelle al funghi with a double cream shallot and butter sauce 🤌
Ohhh those artichokes are incredible.
Italy is one of those countries where every single thing you eat is amazing. Fantastico! ❤
These video are always so eye opening
I've had Tagliatelle with wild boar as well as some other wild boar dishes in and from tuscany and I was instantly in love, all of it was so amazing, glad to see it on this list
I love wild boar. Where I live it's relatively easy to get and not terribly expensive. I've gotta say that both the pasta and the wild boar ragu itself looked amazing. I'd order it in an instant.
A pizza place near me does a rapini and wild boar sausage pizza. It’s my go to order every time lol
Your fennel salad will taste better the day after! I will definitely try to make caponata!
The comment about caponata being good with pasta is so true. I sometimes make a big batch of it to use as an appetizer on crostini or focaccia or similar, and then I have lots left over. So I sometimes will just cook pasta and mix the caponata in with it! A really good lazy dinner.
this is my new comfort channel
As a vegetarian/ pescetarian i love to go to italian restaurants. You don't have to search the whole menu for the "vegetarian" section that has like 1-2 bland dishes. There are so many meatless options just amongst all the other dishes because the Italian cuisine is one of the few that has realized that meat or fish is not a necessity to make an incredible dish.
Really? Italian restaurants as a vegetarian/even pescatarian are a huge problem for me with finding food
@@Bananabear20 where do you live?
I live in Germany and there's lots of Italian immigrants around here so some great authentic Italian food. They usually have a lot of different vegetarian/ pescetarian pasta dishes, pizzas, risotto, mixed veggies or eggplant dishes... And then different fish or seafood options.
Mediterranean food in general I find very vegetarian friendly. There's always some good options no matter what you go for.
Oh it's because you live in Germany :(....there are many other cuisines that offer wonderful vegetarian dishes that aren't an afterthought.
@@oEmmYo It doesn't sound like you've been to Italy lol....there's always many tasty & loved vegetarian options.
I was 40 before fish finally began to be food, and I still haven't risked re-trying canned sardines, which were met with deep loathing in my childhood. But your description of Sarde Fritte encourages me to try that if I ever see them.
I would dearly love to _find_ an Italian restaurant anywhere I've ever lived that actually offers Carciofi alla Romana, because I would be all over that so hard I would cheerfully skip the noodles entirely! (I'm not the target demographic, I admit; I _loathe_ long, flappy, splashy noodles, and am only interested in small to medium shapes that sit gracefully on a spoon.)
I'd love to try Mozzarella in Carrozza too, because although I am not at all a fan of crumby breading, I'm happy to have things fried _in_ actual bread (mmmm; shrimp toast!).
Insalata Finocchi e Arance has been a longtime favorite in my household. So delicious; so easy to make; so stunning in both appearance and flavor! (I usually add some parsley leaves as well.)
Apparently, you're my food preference soul mate. I don't bother much with noodles, but shrimp toast is a go to, and I can't wait for artichoke season!
I completely feel you on the sardines. I had them so much as a kid, I just can’t look at them anymore.
I love eggplant! That eggplant and veggie dish looks fabulous!
Love the video this needs a part 2
The sardines on the sardine plate made me so happy!
For people who like Artichoke, Rutabaga or sunchoke are a must. Looks like a crossbreed between a ginger and a potato visually, but tastes really similar to artichoke. Just cook it really well so you don't have stomach ache...
Ufggh I just had italian food two days ago and watching this made me want it againnnn. I had penne al funghi, super creamy sauce with mushrooms, sooo good. But that vegetable dish looked delicious, I hope I can try it sometime
I love her positive energy❤
Omg I love knowing that your dog stares you down the entire time you are filming 😆 I can't even have a midnight snack without my dogs awakening from their deep slumber to stare holes into my soul from across the room
Also lets take this chance to mention that there is 2 types of foods for every country 1 the one that is a vailible at restaurants mostly the simple staff and 2 the foods that restaurants don't find worth it making and selling because they aren't fancy looking enough wich is the biggest majority of dishes am putting that here because i kept seeing people saying oh this country doesn't have a lot of dishes or this country doesn't have dishes that are worth it no no they do they just don't find it worth it to sell and its something you would find only at somebody's home
I had the privilege of going to Italy just recently and was taken on a walking food tour of Milano. My favorite thing was actually the pickled veal hoof!
I absolutely love artichokes. Being from Northern California, we would get them from the farm each year when in season
Yep nor cal is my home but having moved to so cal as a toddler, the farms were absolutely amazing each year
Been to Piccola Cucina. Very tasty spot. Happened to have that boar dish and the fennel salad when I went there.
Caponata is such a nostalgic food for me! My Italian grandparents would make it any time the family got together. That looks like a Sicilian caponata, so the vinegar sauce has just a little sugar/honey in it for an agrodulce sauce. If there weren't pine nuts, absolutely find one that has them. It adds so much.
When I lived in Manhattan that was one of my go-to spots! The tagliatelle wild boar ragù was always MY husbands fav lol
I've never liked Italian much since the only Italian place is olive garden where I live now, but I do love ordering it when I go back home to the east coast. The menus have much more authentic varieties. Might have to try and make some of these!
Oh man, this looks great! I was diagnosed with coeliac disease at 25, which was a blessing in so many ways; to finally be able to live comfortably and so on. But by god, I miss pastas and french butterdough!
"The Italians have the best cheese" is a bit of a spicy take, Beryl! ;)
Caponata is my all time favourite vegetable dish. A little bit sweet, a little sour from capers and vinegar. I make it a lot when to take a dish to a summer party. Ever tried panzanella, an italien( tuscan) bread salad?
I've seen panzanella on CZcams videos but I would love to try it!
@@annbrookens945 I sometimes make it myself in summer, when I have fresh tomatoes, onions and basil from the garden, but it's not just the same like the one in Tuscany with the right kind of unsaltet tuscan bread a few days old.
The way you looked at those artichokes ..I was enjoying through you on this one
I've been digging your fish content lately!
I have never seen wild boar ragu on a menu but i would absolutely try it if i ever do!
I just can't imagine Wild Boar on the menu in central Illinois...
Oh! I'd try it in a heartbeat! I just can't imagine it on the menu!
I've seen it so many times in the Northeastern US!
In Northern and Central Italy it's very common along with deer ragù
I’m a US expat living in Sicily and I think southern Italian food is the best! Arancini, milza, caponata siciliana, involtini and of course, pasta with fish or melanzane.
Great video! As a native New Jerseyan, who grew up surrounded by the usual Italian American fare, I've often wondered about actual Italian food. So, this was very enlightening. Although, I have to disagree with you about who got the best cheese. Mozzarella is great, but cheddar will always have my hard. So, I have to give it to the English.
If you like pasta and you like artichokes you can easily make an artichoke pasta. Just slice the artichokes thinly (in artichoke season I do this with the tender part of the stalk, then heat a pan, add EVO oil, one garlic clove, and a little chilli pepper, after a minute or so add the artichokes and a little salt. When the pasta is done (and literally as soon as it's al dente and you drain it), add the pasta to the pan, sauté and serve immediately. You can turn this into a vegetarian carbonara: do the same with the artichokes (or with courgettes, or with asparagus) skipping the garlic and the chilli. Meanwhile, whisk one egg yolk per person with a tablespoon of freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano (or a mixture of Parmigiano and pecorino), and a bunch of black pepper. Temper the egg mixture with a few tablespoons of the boiling pasta water to prevent it from curdling, then dump the piping hot pasta and artichoke in the bowl, toss, and serve immediately.
That artichoke looked so amazing.
I love wild boar pasta! I had it in Firenze!!
you are lucky to have a place near you with such variety
Caponata is my favorite!!! I love it so much and get it every time I go out to eat at an Italian restaurant and sometimes even make it at home! I like to eat it cold on hot summer days ☺️ (an even add pasta and a protein to it sometimes but don’t tell anyone 😬 lol)
This all looks amazing! Colombian or polish food would be a great!
14:07 I have spent many years in restaurant kitchens-all sorts. One thing I learned was that a skilled chef will always consider the circumstances of serving. If a restaurant that cares about its food does delivery, sometimes, the chef is smart enough to cook things just a bit under, so the heat in traveling does not turn everything to mush. You got lucky, Beryl! As usual..❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻💋💋💋💋💋🇺🇸🌸
I love sardines in mustard and sardines in hot sauce. I grew up in Florida and we always had sardines so when hurricanes came through we had food that didn’t need to be cooked.
I laughed when you said that you usually skip the appetizers and always go for the pastas because we usually do quite the opposite 😂 for celebrations, festivities and generally big gatherings the custom for both catering and home cooking is to go super heavy with the appetizers and then have only 1 or 2 pasta dishes (without mentioning the secondi and desserts). Not 100% sure the rule applies in the whole country tho, I can only speak for the South
Oh aja what a good girl you are ❤my pablo would be on the table 😅😅 loving that fennel salad .great palate cleanser .and that wild boar ragu looked amazing.
Everything looks delicious and beyond olive garden fare I watch pasta grammar on you tube and I'm sure Eva has heard of all these dishes and probably made them, my favorite was the wild boar Ragu , there would be no leftovers , rome new york
Beryl now we Italians want you to take a vacation in Italy, or do a collab with Pasta Grammar! 🥰
Caponata really is underrated, I have it all the time while in Sicily and while it doesn't look like much the flavour is so incredible
Oh I wish the Italian places in my city actually had some of these dishes 🥲 at least I can make caponata at home, it's really simple (and I find it relaxing to chop so many vegetables haha).
If you want to venture into NJ, there’s a Sicilian bakery in Hawthorne that makes giant cannolis that are filled with mini cannolis. We ordered this for our wedding instead of a wedding cake!
I saw the Bucatini Cacio e Pepe in the recommended dishes and was immediately reminded of the last vacation I took with my partner to Rome. It was amazing (the dish and the city) and I have tried recreating it at home. It was never as good as in that little restaurant in Rome. It was called the seven geese. In Italian of course
Cacio e pepe is actually so difficult to get right considering it's a three-ingredient dish. Getting the cheese and pasta water emulsion right without a stabiliser (which to be fair most restaurants do use) is a pain in the neck haha
I would love to see more middle eastern cuisines! I find their resturants every city i live in, but never know what to order ❤
Funny you always go for the pasta, I never get pasta at reastaurants! Pasta here in Italy is such an everyday thing that (unless a restaurant is known for a specific pasta dish) I will go straight for appetizers and second courses.
❤🎉 my Italian brother in law went out to the garden. Made just for me...clematis shoot frittata...delicious.
I was in Turin recently and i feel that I know what to order in a restaurant in Italy thanks cooking videos made by Italians on CZcams.
I'd love to see an episode like this about Swiss food! How many swiss dishes do you know that aren't molten cheese?
