Winter is Over

Hey Boys and Girls,
we've been pretty busy lately, so pardon our slow updates, we promise we will make it up, starting from now!

These are a first course and dessert: a zucchini, cipollotti and black olives patty, made with delicious homemade short crust pastry.

And these are small shapes of sweet bread filled with apples and strawberry jam, topped with some cocoa.

Oh, by the way, it's finally summer so we are starting to photograph our food outside again, stay tuned :)

Green Menu

Our first "official" interview! :)
The World Through Green Eyes an online magazine about photography and nature, dedicated some pages on our blog! We reccommend you to check it out here.
Here are the pictures we used for the article, a menu based on the color green.

To start off, a green lasagna made of four different layers: pesto, spinach and ricotta, scamorza, and topped with parmesan cheese crust. Then, skewers with lightly fried artichokes and the remaining scamorza. For dessert, homemade cookies with pistachio ice cream.

All you see below had to be cooked (and eaten) on two separate days: way too much food for us!
Anyways, it was a great experiment, we found the recipe for the lasagna online, but we gave our own twist to it.

And these are the ice cream sandwiches, it was really hard to say no.

Consider this our easter present! Enjoy your holidays and please spare the lambs.

A squirrel's paradise

We just realized we've had these pictures on our computer since October! These photos were taken on the same film roll as the pumpkin soup photos we showed you in January.
Cecilia went outside, in the country all around her family house, looking for some good hazelnut with the idea of making some bread, or a cake. She never cooked anything... but she made an enormous stock lasting all winter long.

Finding them was fun and easy.

Enjoy the weekend!

Soon

This gorgeous cookies are a little anticipation of a "green menu" we created for The World Through Green Eyes, a web megazine and a blogzine talking about nature, photography and hot girls in the wood. We can garantee for the first two and maybe for the third with some make-up.
Anyway, we are happy because it's supposed to be 20° degrees outside, we can't believe it's true, this winter seemed to be endless. It's finally time to shoot photos outside!

We all are waiting the release of the new TWTGE number (in the meantime, there's another one of these choco guys left in the fridge...)

We seriously loved the menu we cooked, can't wait to show you all the pictures.
Have a good day!

Yummy finds! #2

Sometimes we post random nice stuff (about food as usual) we find on the web. Like...

You know we love skulls. And tea. These sugar skulls are so cool that it's sad to use them. They're by Dem Boner. What a great idea!

This one is for the ladies - a watermelon skirt and a tutorial explaining you how to thrift it. You can find it on  Delightfully Tacky, it's easy, and it's funny to create something with your hands.

We love this packaging for Sabadì (sounds like Saturday in italian)! These chocolate bars are called “cioccolato di Modica”, a typical sicilian way of making chocolate. Designed by Happycentro, a creative studio from our area.

Every child loves removable tattoos. But sometimes adults too... Tattly has so many different tattoos, and this kitchen set is one of our favourite. They are super cute, we also love the Menagerie set (they would be fabulous if they were real!)

In love with this.

We are not into junk food, it's unhealty, ethically wrong and it makes you fat, but hey... this is really a good job! David Iglesias, designer and illustrator of Tender Creative in Manhattan, redesigned the packaging and the existing icon system of Burger King's products:
