By Maria Filice • January 31, 2011 Hi Everybody,
I remember when we were renovating our house, we designed our kitchen around the beautiful stove that Paul bought me in Paris, France – ruby red Godin stove. We spotted the stove when were in Paris a few years ago. Not just a stove, it’s a work of art!
Our good friend, Jake Graziano designed the beveled glass from home grown cherry cabinets (cherry tree on our property). Check out Jake’s site at www.grazianoglass.com/studio.htm
Over dinner, my friend Peter (another foodie) talked kitchen talk and I were talking kitchens. I’m now planning to renovate another kitchento NYC kitchen My friend Peter redesigned his kitchen and his designer did a great job. Here’s the link to Leslie’s site
By Maria Filice • January 23, 2011 One of my favorite pasta sauces is Putanesca – very simple, spicy robust flavours!
I prepared it last weekend….. forgot the capers! On the other hand, how can you go wrong with garlic, anchovies, red chili flakes, black cured olives, Italian tuna and fresh Italian flat parsley = great sauce poured over spaghetti al dente!
That’s the great thing about Italian cooking – it’s a little of this and that right from your pantry. Don’t forget, a great glass of vino !
a presto,
maria

What’s better than the aroma of garlic and rosemary wafting through the house! The perfect eau de pollo ….
Let the garlic and rosemary marinate your oven roasted chicken with the perfect, fresh ingredients. I like to serve my roasted chicken with roasted potatoes, rosemary and roasted garlic. This is another simple recipe in my book “Breaking Bread in L’Aquila”.
It’s great for next day lunches and panini!
I enjoy this dish with a glass of white – Trebbiano d’Abruzzo
a presto,
maria

I met Laura Ponticello and other inspirational women at one of groups I joined – WOMEN TIES. Last month I was guest speaker at a luncheon and spoke about my book and how social networking has really opened up great opportunities around the globe.
Check out her website at www.laurasbooklist.com – she has a wonderful showcase of women books with inspirational stories. I’m honored that Laura included me in her showcase. Read more about her too!
a presto,
maria !
