Primo post da Bologna - First blog from Bologna

Benvenuti a Bologna dov’e arrivata presto l’estate quest’anno (e dove sto sciolendo come un gelato).

Eccolo il primo post della citta e il primo in italiano – la mia versione. Como sempre nell’mercati l’offerta del cibo - frutta e verdure, carne, salumi, pesce, formaggi – e stupificante. Bellisimo, soppratutto le primizie: asparagi, fragole, carciofi toscani. E, questa volta a Bologna, abbiamo una cucina nell’appartamento.

Quindi, aspettavi una serie di ricette per piatto composti da frutta e verdure. Anche interviste con persone chiavi della ‘food scene’ Bolognese.

First post from Bologna

Welcome to Bologna where summer has come early this year (and I am dissolving in the heat).



New season artichokes from Tuscany



Thanks to a week in an excellent language school – La Cultura Italiana – this is my first blog in Italian. Or rather my version of Italian. As always the display of food – fruit, vegetables, salami, hams, fish, cheese - in the markets is amazing. But the most mouth watering sight is the spring fruit and vegetables: glistening strawberries, green asparagus from Altedo, tiny purpleTuscan artichokes. And this time in Bologna we have a kitchen to cook in in our apartment. So, you can expect a lot of recipes for vegetable dishes and puddings involving fruit, as well as interviews with the people who make the Bolognese food scene tick.
