Below: Read all about our freshly-launched blog, the recent feature article about us in Tastes of Italia Magazine, and 5 new summer video recipes to try!

Blog Launch & More

It’s been a busy month for us here! We put the finishing touches on our culinary tours to Italy for this fall and next year, filmed several new recipes (more on that below!), and were interviewed for the summer issue of Tastes of Italia Magazine (you can read the article by clicking through to our home page www.rusticocooking.com and access the pdf there).

We’ve also been developing our brand new blog, a not-so-small undertaking because like everything we offer, we want it to be beautiful and informative. In the first post, I tell you how I converted my fish-indifferent husband into a fish lover with one simple recipe you can easily make at home.

I don’t know what I’ll talk about in the next blog post: perhaps my passion for all things sourdough, or a special place in Italy, or a technique that’s often overlooked in the kitchen. There’s so much to explore, and we hope you’ll be there with us every step of the way! Click here to access our first blog entry.

Five New Video Recipes to Try!

Meanwhile, if you’re ready for some summertime cooking inspiration, check out our five newly added video recipes: an olive oil cake with intense orange and lemon aromas, aptly called Citrus Explosion Cake; subtly smoky, deeply gratifying Smashed Red Baby Potatoes with Chives and Smoked Paprika (leftovers make a mean frittata); our favorite way to enjoy fish, Crispy Skin Branzino with Velvety Chickpea Sauce; a super-refreshing Spicy Melon Salad with Basil (we love it so much that we eat it about three times a week in the summer!); and Dino’s favorite summer dessert, a Black Forest Cherrymisu that delivers all the elegant flavors of Black Forest Cake in a cool, refreshing, no-fuss package.

Please drop us a line and let us know what you’ve been cooking from the video membership. We love hearing from you and finding out what’s been cooking in YOUR kitchen!
