Puglia.
Estate.
Mercato.

I made orecchiette (remember my story? “A special day? make orecchiette! A terrible day? make orecchiette! An ordinary day? why not making orecchiette!”).

Nevertheless, whatever the condition, cooking for me is always a celebration of life.
For myself, cooking in Puglia might be that even more.
Cooking for whom you love much the more.
Love cooking and sharing with you passing by, deeply grateful for your kindness and genuine care.
It means the world to me.

Orecchiette with red & yellow grape tomatoes and zucchini stems & leaves. Have you ever tried these greens? they have the most delicious herbaceous Summer flavour and melt-in-your-mouth consistency.

Early yesterday morning N. reached out with a message saying my silence wasn’t reassuring for her, and while she didn’t have a magic wand she had got rather broad shoulders to help me out.
I cried for her straightforward generous being.

Later in the day, while walking to the parking lot where I had parked my car, I came across an old lady beautifully dressed in turquoise… we almost bumped into each other as she startled at a dog’s barking, and I complimented her for her hand(self)-knitted turquoise bag.
We then started to chat, with mutual curiosity among strangers and yet as if recognising each other. How easily and increasingly and softly we slid into conversation and confidence about travelling, memories, dreams and turns of life.
She told me her name was G., her nickname Magpie when a girl, as she would go after the scintillating suchness of life experiences.
I walked to my car with lighter steps.

It was evening here when K. texted me from the other side of the world, her Italian coffee pot ready on the stove, finally settled, the much longed for sea in the distance out the window: “Brought you with me”.
My heart spilled over.

It was a very tough soul-wrenching day, three women from afar - more likely angels - picked me up and fed me.
Felt the blessing into my bones.

Luglio feroce è andato. Qui ha morso parecchio, ma non per il caldo.
Allora ho cucinato volentieri qualche semplice buon piatto, con le verdure degli orti.

In padella: 4 piccole melanzane lunghe, a tocchetti, fatte cuocere a secco in una padella ampia, con un pizzico di sale, mescolando spesso.
Quando cominciano ad appassire, aggiungo un abbondante sorso d’olio e 3 belle zucchine tagliate a tocchetti, cuocio finchè quasi tenere.
Aggiungo poi in padella 2-3 cucchiai di olive taggiasche denocciolate e due manciate di pomodorini tagliati a metà, dopo averli lasciati riposare in una ciotola con un pizzico di sale e un filo d’olio; profumo con origano, basilico e un pizzico di pepe e cuocio ancora per 7-8 minuti. Ci vuole poi altro abbondante basilico fresco, quando gli ortaggi pronti si saranno intiepiditi.
È una buonissima pietanza, ottima anche come condimento per la pasta.

Agosto, tu per favore sii gentile.

🇬🇧Fierce July has passed. It really took a bite out of things over here—though not because of the heat.
Hence I enjoyed cooking simple, tasty dishes using vegetables from the garden.

In the pan: diced eggplant (i used 4 small elongated ones), dry-sautéed in a large skillet with a pinch of salt, stirring frequently.
When they start to wilt, I pour a generous splash of evoo and 3 diced zucchini, cooking them until almost tender. Then I add 2-3 Tbsp olives and a couple of handfuls of halved cherry tomatoes—which I had let sitting in a bowl with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of oil for about 10 minutes; I season with oregano, basil, and a pinch of pepper, and cook for 7–8 minutes longer.
Plenty more fresh basil is needed once the vegetables have cooled slightly.
A delicious dish on its own, also excellent as a pasta sauce.

August, you please be kind.
