Well, friends, after all these holiday dinners and lunches, I feel the need to detox from too many fatty dishes, so today Fennel with Parmesan and Milk Gratin. I assure you that prepared this way, you will love them. Fennel can really be cooked in many ways, even just gratinated with a bit of breadcrumbs on top, extra virgin olive oil, and they are delicious. Cooked in milk, however, they are really super tasty. Let’s say this can be considered the lighter version of fennel with parmesan and béchamel sauce. Now, diet permitting, if you add some slices of melting cheese to this recipe, the flavor will benefit, but even in their simplicity, they are really delicious.

One of my most requested recipes at this time is also the Fennel Cutlet with Chickpea Cream.

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. My name is Francesca, a true native of Taranto. I love cooking desserts and traditional dishes, and my inspiration comes from the women in my family. Photography, for me, is about capturing the moment… in a shot, you hold your breath and then start again, savoring every little detail as you develop it. Why Ethra? She was the wife of Phalanthus, the founder of Taranto, the Spartan city. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all… there are already so many of you following me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
