Have you ever heard of Salento Cecamariti? They are delicious fritters from Salento tradition… The story goes that wives, after a very hard day in the fields, would welcome and feed their husbands by preparing this delight with the vegetables they had available, in this case zucchini, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, adding capers and olives, creating a perfect filling for these fritters. The husbands, consequently blinded by hunger, would eat so many to fill themselves up. Easy and quick to prepare, I assure you they will make not only your husbands happy but all your guests.

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!
