Milan, Italy + Expo Milano 2015 + Chef To Chef Gala Photos
Our last day/evening in Italy was spent in the city of Milan. The bulk of the day was spent at the Expo Milano 2015. The Expo was actually the latest world’s fair, with a focus entirely on food. There was 1.1 million square meters of exhibition space, and 145 participating countries. The fair ran for six-months and was probably the largest…
From Modena To Piacenza Photos
If you’ve been reading my series of posts about Italy, you already know I’ve been sharing photos and recipes somewhat out of chronological order from my actual trip. (Sorry!) But todays post actually picks up where the last one left off! As I mentioned in Homemade Pasta 1010: Tortellini + Bologna, after visiting Hombre Farms,…
Homemade Pasta 101- Tortellini + Bologna, Italy
So, Bologna! Tortellini! Parmigiano Reggiano! Bologna was actually the city my plane landed in. (Sorry, I’m doing this Italy trip stuff all out of order.) It was all little harried, and unfortunately I didn’t get to stay long in the city. (Who couldn’t go for more time in the city that invented Ragù Bolognese?) I…
Fast Cars, Fantastic Food
The Enzo Ferrari Museum has hit on the perfect combination: fast cars and an amazing lunch. The museum, located just outside Modena, Italy, is a must see stop for any car enthusiast traveling in the area. Though smaller then its counterpart in Maranello, most visitors take about an hour to make their way through the exhibit. The…
Homemade Pasta 101 – Basic Egg Dough
I’m not trying to scare anyone off from trying their hand at homemade pasta; but I’m not going to lie to you either. Homemade pasta is time consuming, it requires some patience to master and some elbow grease (even if you use a stand mixer and electric roller). You probably will not end up with enough *good*…
Four Foodie Stops in Emilia-Romagna That Can’t Be Missed
People across the world, but especially in the United States, have shown an increased interest in how their food is produced. Along with this, new foodie-themed travel has become all the rage, and why not? What better way to learn about a new country then by tasting its food? One offshoot of foodie travel, agritourism (a…
Apple Crostata + Parma, Italy
One of the cities I had the pleasure of visiting on my Italy trip was Parma. Food wise Parma and the surrounding area is known primarily for it’s cured meats. There is pancetta, salami, culatello, coppa, and more. But the city is also in the Emilia Romagna region so there is also amazing handmade pasta, plenty…
Roasted Pumpkin Risotto, (+Italian Wine Country)
It’s time to talk wine my friends! As I mentioned briefly in my Italy Photo Grid post, I spent part of a day and an overnight in Italian Wine Country. More specifically I got to visit Castello Luzzano (check out this website, it’s beautiful!). That translates into Luzzano Castle in case you were wondering.
PhotoGrid #Italy #viaemilia
I thought I’d start off my posts from Italy with a brief over view of my trip and a big ole’ bunch of photos, because, hello, photos of Italy are awesome. I am a little disappointed, because my photos didn’t turn out as well as I’d hoped. Unfortunately, I decided to test a new, very…
Homemade Gnocchi with Spicy Italian Sausage
My husband has been requesting I make him homemade gnocchi for, I don’t know, maybe a year now. It’s not that I don’t want to make the foods that Charlie requests; but I’ve gotta admit I’ve been a little intimidated to try making gnocchi. I’d heard they were somewhat difficult to make. And so this…
Tomato Parmesan and Sage Focaccia
I’m kind of getting the Monday blues. It was a really nice weekend, despite Charlie and Aiden coming down with yet another bug Sunday morning. (Unfortunately, we just can not stay well this year. Seriously making me long for spring. Getting tired of all these colds!) Saturday morning, we took the boys to McDonalds so they could run around and…
Lighter Lasagna Bolognese (With No Sacrifice In Flavor!)
I definitely need to start eating healthier. I’ve been having a really hard time in that department lately. So, here’s the thing, my Grandparents have been in town visiting, and when they are here I do tend to eat a little… ok, a lot worse. Let’s be honest, it doesn’t take much to bring me over to the…
Fried Polenta With Pork, Tomato, Basil & Goat Cheese
I grew up eating brown rice (and peas, which are beans. Its a Jamaican thing) with almost every meal, because rice was what my Dad grew up eating. My mom on the other hand grew up with potatoes. We did occasionally eat potatoes too, but for the most part Mom adapted to Dad on this one. Of…
The Perfect Loaf of Italian Bread, At Home
One of our ongoing projects here at Feed Me…I’m Hungry is our ‘World Food Tour’ where we take time to find out more about culture and food from around the world by exploring recipes, cookbooks, memoirs and more. We finished Italy a while ago but, it’s our favorite so we came back for another visit. I often…
