Zucchini and mozzarella frittata: a summer second course loved by young and old, simple to prepare and perfect with any vegetable. The frittata for me has a sweet memory, a memory of home and family, a memory of mom who often prepared frittata with what the garden gave us at that moment. So zucchini or onions, potatoes or eggplants, what can I say, they had a special taste and for us kids it was a party.

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.
