Honey mushrooms: characteristics

THE Chiodini mushrooms, also called asparagus mushrooms, consist of a long stem (sometimes fibrous in the final part which therefore should not be used, just like asparagus) and a hat. The ideal is to prepare mushrooms with sautéed mushrooms, but this type of mushroom is combined in a perfect wedding with cherry tomatoes, sausage, polenta, potatoes and pasta. Be careful though, mycologists recommend a pre-boiling at least 10 minutes to eliminate any potential risk.

Traditional dishes, including smiles of grandmothers and childhood memories – Italian Cuisine


The sounds, tastes and smells of the kitchen. But also the colors of the vegetables broken on the cutting board, the quick hands of the grandmothers and the mothers who move between stoves and trays, the tables for the holidays. Here are the traditional recipes, able to bring to light our most precious memories

Who doesn't have at least one dish tied to a special memory? The flavors, the smells and the sounds of the kitchen they are able to bring back to our mind distant images, guarded like precious jewels in that casket that is our mind.

Here, then, is the smell of breakfast that reached us, children, still wrapped in blankets. Or the irresistible smell of roast meat, ragout, a tart that came to visit us while we were playing in the corridor with our sisters and brothers. And did you spend your Sunday mornings in the chair to help your mother knead the dumplings or noodles? Don't tell us that you never did it, that you are boys or girls.
We also talked about the sounds, or noises, of the kitchen. Even those, when we were little, heard them and we recognized them from one room to another. The pots that passed from the stove to the work table and vice versa, the rapid beating of the knife against the chopping board for chopping vegetables, or that of the trays that beat between them while agile female hands covered them with delicacies; and, again, the tinkling of glasses and plates while setting the table, perhaps on some special occasion: a birthday, Christmas, Easter.
And how can we forget the summer, the sun that burned pleasantly on our shoulders, the skin pulled by sea salt, the lunches on the beach, where the scent of saltiness was mixed with lasagna or cannelloni, dishes prepared the day before and now dished before our hungry little eyes, with their hair still wet from the sea stuck to their foreheads, surrounded by aunts, cousins, grandparents, all cheerful in the mid-August air.

It is to this memory that we want to inspire today to advise you on some recipes that, we hope, awaken in you the memories of loved ones, of places of the heart, of happy moments.
