I thought I had some familiarity with computers and the web but instead… Had no idea that publishing a blog would be so complicated.

And so here it begins! I left the comfortable room of just having ideas and theories about my culinary adventure, and crossed over to the much bigger, scarier room of having to actually do it! It is like being in a pastry case and getting hit in the face with having to make a hundred choices among all the delicious creamy cakes in 30 seconds flat! Delirium!

But, before I could get to the part I was excited about, like sharing my love and knowledge for all things culinary, I was required to answer so many crazy technical questions… Like This or That blog platform, free services or not for free, templates, fonts and gadgets of any type, color, and shape: what is all this stuff??

Does every blogger really need to know all these complicated stuff for getting a few recipes online? Needless to say, I felt nothing short of clueless….

Let me tell you I had no other choice than asking for guidance and help from my own fellow bloggers, and help I received… But, the more information I received, the tougher things seemed to become… But after a piece of good chocolate for consolation I went back to it…..

And so here I am, still struggling with fonts, colors, templates and images, but I am finally online and ready to help you discover fantastic recipes from Italy and around the world, both newly invented and revisited. I am a native Italian from Cassino, this blog is about my passion for cooking and sharing my knowledge and love for Italy. While I may not be a computer genius, I was told to be pretty good in the kitchen, and you can trust that every dish and recipe I will share with you will have all my passion and love for the art of cooking and will always have a pinch of Italy.
