Italian cooking in world kitchens

Food and Drink topics
Most of us who are lovers of Italian food were not even born in Italy and years back would not even have thought that life would take them to Italy and fall in love with Italian cooking and become their daily bread so to say.
Most have also been cooking some dishes over and over that eventually it has become house brand. And like I was talking to some friends and were saying that they are really into Italian food but are afraid to prepare in their own kitchens as it might be difficult to prepare. I have not let anything stop me from cooking Italian food every other day in my house and it has become favourite place for friends to enjoy an Italian homemade meal.

Most Italian recipes are easy to make and you end up with the same results if it was made somewhere in Italy. Not all Italian cooking requires the whole day of work like most people are afraid that it requires so much time to make Italian food but this is not true. Once you have the basics it is very easy. For example it takes me around 2 hours to compose lasagne that can feed 8 people. I think also like I do I love to share my cooking secrets for Italian food as I also got them from someone else. And when you look around the internet today there are heaps of resources being shared every day on how to make various recipes. People sharing recipes and all information in every angle of the internet blogs, Article Alley, websites and videos regarding how to make this great food in your own kitchen.
Remember that the most important thing when cooking Italian food is to have fun as the final part of eating is the most important, Italians bring on the table all those courses slowly as they need time to enjoy their meal and chat.
Enjoy your Italian cooking
Buon Appettito!

Living: Silk your bed

In search of Home Deco answers
Ever since I put foot in Thailand I thought to myself I need a silk bed cover. And like you might know this place is the home of Silk. So I decided one afternoon that I needed to go to the weekend market and get some few items I needed for my bedroom and that of my son. So, went to the market and did not buy only one but did buy two of them.
When I sent my sister a picture she said she needed one too so I went back to the market and again and again.
Well, Im still here my bed is still silked but I think now after some time using it I need to change my bedroom set. And Im off to the market again this coming weekend.

But, Im thinking what really makes a really nice homely bedroom? Is it table & chairs sets, sofa & coffee table sets, bedroom sets, cozy room sets, study room sets, kitchen utensils & accessories or is it the furniture or a happy family?
Should it be Italian, German, English or simple African style?

Let me know what you think.
If you have the answer shout with a post.

Wine tasting event: I did it

The wine event and Italian cooking

Simple easy Italian recipes was really very happy to participate in an event around Christmas of a wine tasting event here in Bangkok. The wine idea came from a friend of mine who needed some new business ideas to work on during his permanency here.

The event was attended by a number of wine producers from Italy as it was only Italian wine that was present on this day. Everyone present really enjoyed the day, lot's of wines from different areas of Italy.
From this initial success my friend has decided to pursue events as his business and will mainly target food and wine industry not only from Italy so watch this blog for developments.
Now, as a blogging and internet Mom he has asked me to design for him a simple website for his business, so you can guess what I am up to today, web site hosting search. I have the site ready and within today I have to get some good hosting for his site.

I'm really excited about this whole event thing and my readers can always send suggestions of this project if you read this blog.

I will be happy to share with you some nice details of what is cooking with this project.

Valentine's: Don't forget

Valentine's is not only about flowers but also about making someone feel special. There are many ways of doing that, for me here at easy Italian recipes it's always normal to do that with a cake or pizza or home-made dinner to someone to make them feel loved and part of a family.
When I was in high school we wrote a special note to someone, sent some biscuits and or candy's.
Today, everything has become so complicated and there goodies out there for special valentine's, I'm thinking about everyone going for stylish clothes, large menswear, shoes, chocolate, gadgets, red roses, candle lit dinners even romantic cruises.
I live in a city considered a shopping paradise and you can imagine all the shop windows are only displaying Valentine's but do not forget that this is also a period of showing love and extending a helping hand to your neighbour who might be in need. Get yourself organised and do something different this Valentines, does not mean if you do not send red flowers you love the other person less. Just take a step towards a little act of kindness that shows you care.
Let me take this opportunity to wish all my readers a happy Valentine's and say to someone you love them this season, could be even the neighbour next door that you somehow never said hi...

Simple healthy recipe: Romantic secret recipe

Trully Simple Easy Romantic Risotto

Ingredients for a Romantic Risotto
100g Arborio rice
50 g unsalted butter
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
100 g flat mushrooms, coarsely cut
1/2 litres vegetable stock
2 tablespoons of finely grated Parmesan Cheese
Salt and fresh coarsely ground black pepper


Cooking:
- Melt 40 g with the olive oil in a saucepan.
- Add the chopped onions and cut mushrooms, cooking gently for a few minutes.
- At the same time bring the stock to a simmer in another pan.
- Add the rice to the onions and mushrooms and continue to cook, stirring, for a few minutes.
- Add the stock to the rice a little at a time, stirring slowly, and allowing the risotto to simmer slowly.
- When the rice has absorbed the stock, add some more (continue to do this and keep stirring to prevent the rice from sticking).
- The risotto will take 20-25 minutes to cook.
- The rice should have a slight bite in it at the end as this will prevent it from becoming too starchy.
- Add the Parmesan and the remaining 10g (½ oz) of butter. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve your Risotto hot
(a candle lit dinner for 2 perhaps?)
