It ‘s time for artichokes and there are many ways to prepare them: it will be very interesting to learn how to use all the parts. For example, the outer hard leaves can be used to prepare a decoction or a vegetable broth; forthermore the stems, boiled and blended, to prepare a good risotto. Give space to your creativity and have fun cooking artichokes in different ways. Meanwhile, I invite you to try this very simple and tasty recipe: artichokes au gratin ☺

After a period of festivities like the one we have just passed, during which we generally eat a lot of sweet things and we cook traditional rich plates, starting the day with a good extract is very pleasant; my body really need it. If you do not have a juice extractor, you can use a blender, but in this case the juice you get, will keep all the fibers and will have a different consistency; also your body could have a bit more difficulties to assimilate it. I love extracts because they are more pleasent to drink …. But I invite you to try both experiences and choose the one you prefer.

Some monthes ago I was practising in a cooking class and the Chef told us how important is to stop each days and cook for at least half an hour to prepare a good balanced plate for us or our friends and family. This is the best condition we can try to recreate every day; unfortunately, it is not always an achievable goal. So, today, I share with you a quick and light recipe to use on one of those days, when you do not have time to stay in the kitchen, but you have no desire to eat a simply sandwich 😉              A beautiful colorful smoothie you can prepare in a few minutes and enjoy in your short break.

I live in Italy so I’ve tried those imported from other countries, but some years ago, I’ve discovered that there are many avocado plantations in Sicily. I’ve tried them and they are great. Now, I prefer to wait for their natural ripening and harvest instead of buying them in a supermarket in every moment of the year. Today I share with you this nice recipe: a revisited gazpacho with avocado and beetroot; I hope you like it 😉
