FAQ (Questions and Answers)

  • Will you prepare the linguine with zucchini and tuna?

    In support of their deliciousness, there are also the beneficial properties this vegetable offers.
    Zucchini are mostly composed of water and provide various minerals useful for well-being during the warmer months. They contain iron, calcium, and magnesium, but they are especially rich in potassium, which is good to remember to replenish in summer when it is lost in greater quantities through sweat. If consumed raw, they are also a good source of vitamin C.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
