Today something rustic cooked in a wood oven the good old way.

So here we have, chicken, pork collar and enriched with potatoes, carrots, garlic, onions and marjoram. With tones of spices like tumeric, curry, pepper, paprika, coriander, fennel and sumac. No salt needed as the bacon brings that in.

Today’s story from my kitchen is all about simplicity, soul, and that unmistakable Italian feeling of

Two plates of spaghetti, each telling its own quiet story.

The first: aglio, olio e peperoncino — often called . The kind of dish you make when the house is silent, when hunger is honest, and when you don’t need anything complicated to feel satisfied. Just garlic gently sizzling in golden olive oil, a touch of heat from chili, and perfectly cooked pasta that carries it all. It’s humble, bold, and deeply comforting — proof that the simplest ingredients can speak the loudest.

The second: spaghetti vongole. A dish that brings the sea straight to the table. Fresh clams opening in a fragrant bath of garlic, parsley, and white wine, creating a sauce that feels both light and indulgent at the same time. Every bite tastes like a breeze from the coast — clean, delicate, and full of life.

This is what casareccio means to me. Not perfection, not presentation, but honesty. Cooking that comes from instinct, from memory, from love. Food that doesn’t try too hard, yet gives you everything.

Two plates, two moods — both rooted in the beauty of keeping things simple. 🍝
