Tuscan White Bean Soup

Italy does simplicity well. And it does simplicity deliciously, especially when it comes to food like white bean soup. With only eight major ingredients, this soup, accompanied by crusty bread and Parmesan shavings can be a whole meal.

Carmelized Onion Quiche

A rich and creamy quiche with caramelized onions and Gruyere cheese. Good for lunch, brunch or a light dinner. We are assuming that you already have a pie crust, at hand, fresh or frozen..

Pinto Bean and Andouille Sausage Stew

This pinto bean stew is seasoned with andouille sausage, bacon, tomatoes, onions, peppers and smoked paprika. Fans of spicy beans should use the full amount of minced chile pepper. Serve with brown rice and sour cream.

Chicken and Cavatelli with cherry Tomatoes

This is one of those dinners that is relaxing to make, and puts dinner on the table – pronto! Every bite is layered with delicious flavors.

Chicken, Pancetta Wrapped

Genuine Italian home cooking from Berta, who lives just outside of San Gimignano, Italy

Pork Loin Spiedini with Pine Nut Soffritto

A splendid Italian Secondo, optionally served with Peperonata contorno. This is Grilled pork chunks, on a bed of arugula, garnished with a pine nut, raisin and olive oil soffritto.

Pork with Paprika, and Mushrooms

This recipe is Hungarian Goulash in disguise - the only difference is that it substitutes pork for the traditional beef.
A generous amount of Hungarian Paprika makes this dish flavorful and moderately spicy.

Avocado Corn Salad

This Avocado Corn Salad is a bright and feel-good salad that’s loaded with grilled corn, creamy avocado, cherry tomatoes, and the dressing gives it an amazing fresh flavor.

California Shrimp Stir Fry with Peppers and Mango

Dinner can be ready in only 3/4 hour total!

Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomato cream sauce

An easy pasta with a very good Sun-dried tomato sauce.
