Just in time to enjoy the harvested Onions… inspired weeks of cooking dishes with… onions. I had lots of time to practice caramelizing onions:
with lentils, with cabbage, with feta…

Puff pastry with caramelized onions, fresh thyme and feta

Italy

Great timing! Surrounded by Olive harvesting in the hills and the last of the figs waiting for us in the garden. Wonderfully fresh eggplant was ready for grilling, roasting, stuffing, dicing or slicing.

Olives and Olive Oil deserve pages of paragraphs describing in detail the versatility and influence of this small, abundant fruit. Yes, fruit. Not a vegetable. As simple as a snack or delicious as a pizza topping (Focaccia flats make great, simple pizzas!) Freshly harvested, freshly extracted olive oil is a culinary highlight of our trip!

Amazing Carbonara and Rissoto!
