Chilled Juicer Tomato Soup with Burrata

Kaitlin — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 10:00:31 +0000

I learned something new when I was making this Chilled Juicer Tomato Soup: not all chilled tomato soup is gazpacho. (Apologies if this is very well-known information and I am just late to the game here.) Chilled tomato soup is made by combining the ingredients, simmering them to develop the flavors, and then is pureed... Read More »

Homemade Cannoli Ice Cream

Kaitlin — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 10:00:24 +0000

With my upcoming trip to Sicily, Sicilian inspired recipes are very much top of mind! It has also been quite warm in Philly, so I have Ice Cream on the brain. This recipe for Homemade Cannoli Ice Cream is (obviously) inspired by one of Sicily’s most well-known treats: Cannoli. The traditional dessert is a deep-fried... Read More »

Note: I was sent a review copy of Domenica Marchetti’s Italian Cookies: Authentic Recipes and Sweet Stories from Every Region in order to write this post for Biscotti Ricci Del Gattopardo. Opinions are mine alone. This summer, my husband and I are celebrating our anniversary in style: we are heading to Sicily and Rome! So,... Read More »

I am taking full advantage of the long weekend by making a recipe I’ve wanted to make for a while now: Homemade Squid Ink Fettuccine! I’ve been inspired to finally try to make homemade pasta after Danny Freeman’s demo at Binding Agents a few months back. And on a recent stop at Ippolito’s, I noticed... Read More »

With Thanksgiving so late this year, I hope you’ll forgive me for sharing a Christmas cookie recipe before Black Friday; these Cannoli Cookies are too good to keep a secret! If you’re a cannoli lover, these Cannoli Cookies are sure to impress, especially because they are quite a bit easier to make than homemade cannolis!... Read More »

Sicilian Braciole

Kaitlin — Thu, 03 Oct 2024 10:00:37 +0000

The weather hasn’t quite turned cooler yet, but I am already starting to shift into more comfort food type cooking. Every Sunday is pasta night in my house, so this past Sunday, I decided to make something a bit more special than my usual Spaghetti and Meatballs. This recipe for Sicilian Braciole is very loosely... Read More »

Note: I was given a box of produce from Penn Farm and used some of the produce in order to make this Cantaloupe Tomato Panzanella Salad recipe. Opinions are mine alone. One of my favorite things about this blog is the opportunity to spotlight amazing restaurants, ingredients, and food organizations when I come across them.... Read More »

Pistachio Panna Cotta

Kaitlin — Mon, 09 May 2022 10:00:02 +0000

One of my favorite things about having a blog is the opportunity to try new recipes and learn new cooking methods. I have never made Panna Cotta before, but it seems to be a relatively simple dessert to make. Panna Cotta, which means “cooked cream” in Italian, is an Italian dessert traditionally made with sweetened... Read More »

My husband absolutely loves Pasta in Vodka Sauce. I don’t make it terribly often, but it is a really simple and delicious dish to make at home, so I figured it was time to share my recipe for Rigatoni Alla Vodka! “Traditional” vodka sauce includes tomatoes, herbs, and vodka, although every one I’ve ever come...

Classic Shrimp Scampi

Kaitlin — Tue, 16 Mar 2021 10:00:09 +0000

A few years ago, I realized that the concept of what I know as Classic Shrimp Scampi is kind of an American one. To Americans, Shrimp Scampi is shrimp cooked in butter and typically served over pasta. But scampi is actually its own type of crustacean. So it appears that when Italian immigrants came to...
