Baked peppers and feta, a delight to enjoy on its own on toasted bread or to dress pasta, spaghetti, and if it were up to me, spaghetti always for life. We’ve already talked a lot about peppers lately, but just a reminder that now is the season for sun-ripened peppers, thus tastier. I’ll talk to you instead about cheese, a food older than man, although a rule applies to all that it is obtained by curdling milk, usually sheep’s but it can also be mixed, goat, or cow. Each country boasts its own special cheese like in this case feta recognized as a PDO product of Greece, an ancient cheese, already mentioned in the Odyssey. The peculiarity of this cheese is that it is made with sheep’s milk, rennet, and brine water where it stays for a period of 3 months, to use it you crumble it.

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
