Eating somewhere different than our own kitchen.

I always heard of it but never went. The other day, after a meeting in Conegliano, a friend Romina had lunchbreak together and went to EAT'S. It's more then grocery store, its a mix between the good old feeling of shopping for food at the local store, where you can ask question and get suggestions from specialists and eating local and freshly prepared products at the bistro', located right above it.


The atmosphere is very cosy and although during rush hour you may have to wait a little bit to get seated, it's really worth it. Romina and I ordered two different plates and shared them.  Radicchio and Beef breaded meatballs, filled with Montasio cheese and a very simple yet tasty pasta with salmon and cherry tomato sauce.


This is a link to their website, the store has regular shopping hours, while the bistro remains open till midnight! Check it out.



Goat cheese nightmares

The other day, while at home trying to figure out what to cook for lunch, looking in the fridge we realized our main course was not going to be very glorious, so we had to put some effort in making AT LEAST a good appetizer!
We poured a glass of wine and started pulling out of the fridge everything we had.


This is what our sick minds came up with. Little ciabatta bread lightly grilled on a pan with some olive oil then filled with soft french goat cheese, grilled yellow peppers and italian anchovies. We are unsure if at that point we sank our teeth into these sandwiches we were also completely drunk, but they were really good!



POST SCRIPTUM: Almost a week after eating them we feel totally sane. But while cooking we started thinking the cheese we used could have possibly been possessed by the devil. Again, the cheese is really good but the little mascotte on the box was sort of scary :)

Last dinner of summer

We totally love the taste of avocado and salmon together. 
We also love to play with paper, ribbons, scissors and make our plates look nicer!




Preparing these beautiful ten-ingredients-sandwiches we starded daydreaming, talking with Cecilia's mum about the opening of a gourmet sandwich restaurant on a tropical beach somewhere :) The september sun made us think about a life by the sea with cats, music, beer and good stuff to cook everyday.

Ok, let's talk abou these guys. It took a couple of hours to digest them, It was an explosion of flavors (maybe too many) but we can guarantee, if we'll ever open a bar, our stuff would be the best you've  ever eaten.They're made with love <3


Anyway, we had an incredible hot September and some warm days in October. Now that autumn has arrived, we sadly realized that eating in the yard is one of the reasons we miss summer already.
We hope you're having a good beginning of the "cold season", stay warm, drink lots of tea and be happy.

Cheers :)

Three colors popsicles

It’s hot, our fridge is stuffed with all sorts of tropical fruits, carefully selected to contain the most amount of water. After eating them like normal people, we got a little crazy and gave them new life mixing them! We layered the resulting mixture in empty yoghurt plastic containers, then froze them. What you see below are two of the little monsters that came out of the freezer: kiwi-yoghurt-watermelon and cantaloupe-yoghurt-watermelon popsicles! <3
They taste amazing if you enjoy them sitting in bed while reading a book.
