Ciao a tutti! Hi Everybody! I will be a weekly food blogger at Amy Dickinson’s site at www.askamydaily.com This a great opportunity and wanted to thank everybody for their love and support! I look forward to sharing my blogs on this site too! Here’s a photo of my Amaretti Bouquet’s: un abbraccio,  maria !
It’s been a while since I last blogged. Forgive me ….. April 6, 2012 will mark the third anniversary of the L’Aquila Earthquake. I just returned from a visit to L’Aquila and was very sad to see that movement is still very slow!! I’m organizing a few events in the next few months to help raise awareness and continue with fund raising! I am working with a friend whom I met two years ago in Castelli (the finest ceramic designs in the world). I asked Antonio Simone, old school ceramic maker (inks are still made by hand), to design a plate from my book Breaking Bread in L’Aquila. When we met last week, he had me choose from a few designs and had a hard time picking one design. Instead, I picked two. This will be the first of my series and will add on: vases, larger platters, dinner plates, espresso cups (you get the picture)! I have a limited supply of each of these designs available end of May. Unique, one of a kind, hand painted dish as part of my brand extension. You can hang it as a beautiful wall design or use the dish to serve my biscotti, amaretti, an antipasti or condorni. Then again, rule breaking Maria says “anything goes”!! Each plate will be for sale on my website at www.foodandfate.com for $250.00. A portion of the net profits will be donated to an Art School in Castelli. I will post more about this soon. A beautiful dish to add to your collection and the perfect way to help the children/youth in Abruzzo. My goal is to present a check at Telos in Europe: The L’Aquila Conference a presto, Maria ! Hi Everybody – I served outstanding cheeses from Abruzzo with the help from Bob Marcelli. Bob imports world class cheeses from his cheese making family in Anversa degli Abruzzi. Check out his site at http://www.marcelliformaggi.com. • Caprino Stagionato di Abruzzo (Goat Cheese) • Pecorino Del Parco (Pecorino of the Park) Pecorino was served with Organic Artisanal Savory Honey – Santoreggia – (Summer Savory). The Santoreggia plant is of the same family as thyme, but has a more intense scent. The honey that is gathered from the bees that feed on this and other plants, ranges from amber yellow to light green in color, with a flavor and aroma of medium intensity, with very floral-forward notes, as well as those described as “wet earth”. Here’s my menu: Antipasti: Primi: Dessert: a presto, Maria
Great time of year to make stuffed peppers or anything you can get your hands on at the market! My interns (now close friends: Allie and James) made stuffed peppers from my book “Breaking Bread in L’Aquila”. They loved them and very easy to prepare! Have you made them yet? a presto, Maria ! Hi Everybody, I will be sharing some simple summer recipes on my TV segment on CHCH TV 11 – tomorrow Thursday, August 17th @ 8:10am. It’s a beautiful way to show how simple vegetables make the perfect garnish, meal and table decor – gorgeous colors from yellow, green, red and blue. I look forward to blogging some of the tips tomorrow. If you are in Toronto area., catch me on CHCH TV 11 @ 8:10am. a presto, Maria Filice ps – to the staff of CHCH TV 11 …. don’t bring your lunch !!!!!!!!!!! |
