On Sunday, occasionally – No. 1
Welcome to my newest feature. In my virtual peregrinations I find articles that are informative, entertaining and just downright beautiful. Some are by professional food writers, others by amateurs. I’ve decided to post my favorites here on my site. This way you can see what I see. Most of what I post here will be in English, and I’ll focus on things Italian, but there are no limits. Not yet anyhow. If I see something special, I’ll post it here. For now my list will go up on the occasional Sunday – no promises yet on a regular schedule.
Many thanks to Kathy Ayer, whose Italy on a Plate-Weekly Roundup inspired this project, and to Judy Witts Francini for telling me to get going. Thanks also to Nancie McDermott, who wrote to me “You are the clipping service that never sleeps.”
Here are nine that caught my eye. Click on the descriptions to see what I discovered!
Shakerato – Italy’s classic coffee drink with Judy Witts Francini
Gnudi with Fresh Tomato Sugo – ricotta dumplings with fresh tomato sauce from Silvia’s Cucina
Aperol Martini – a woman and her Aperol with Erica DeMane
Pressed Roasted Vegetable Sandwich – an Italian inspired sandwich from Family Style Food
Tenerumi – quintessential Sicilian greens with Rosetta Costantino
Pummarola – Julia della Croce on the classic Neapolitan tomato sauce
Agretti – Italian greens with a short season short season with Ciao Chow Linda
Salsa Verde – Domenica Marchetti dishes on the classic Italian sauce
I have no affiliation with any product, manufacturer, or site mentioned in this article.

Complimenti on your blog which I’ve been following for a while now, and I love Occasional Sunday, lots of delicious ideas to choose from.
I’ve recently started a blog of my own about life in Italy called Est Est Est and, of course, food is a huge part of living here. I would like to link to your blog from mine, and of course, I’d be delighted if you could link back 🙂
A presto,
