Cherry tomatoes, bocconcini and blue borage flowers By Alessandra Zecchini 02/23/13 07:13 I can never get tired of Caprese, the classic tomato, mozzarella and fresh basil salad that represent Italy both in taste and in colour. But just for once, and just for a change, when I picked my cherry tomatoes from the garden I also got a few borage flowers...

Flowers in the desert Flowers in the desert By Alessandra Zecchini 07/14/12 09:08 I am bewitched by the red sand in arid Central Australia, but most of all by the plants. Because there has been lots of rain in the last two years (I mean, a lot for this area...) the desert is quite green, and the Desert Park in Alice Springs is full of...

Vegetable Pâté with Salted Butter served with Daikon Slices and Edible Flowers Vegetable Pâté with Salted Butter served with Daikon Slices and Edible Flowers By Alessandra Zecchini 02/21/12 04:43 In my mind Pâté is something made with leftovers: mince finely and add fat, and voilà le Pâté! But leftovers in this household are very scarce indeed, so for this month MT Challenge I needed to create some! Obviously my p âté has a vegetable base, Kazuyo...
Beans and flowers, and a morning with the Slow Food ladies Beans and flowers, and a morning with the Slow Food ladies By Alessandra Zecchini 11/24/11 02:58 This salad is really simple: I just chopped half red onion and marinated it for 30 minutes in white balsamic condiment of Modena (FYI, white balsamic vinegar of Modena doesn't exist, it can only be called 'condiment') and then I added one can of Italian...

But if you have a few edible flowers in your garden (absolutely organic, no sprays allowed) they just make your dishes look so pretty, and they are...

Flowers and veggies from my garden, and writing about living in Oratia Flowers and veggies from my garden, and writing about living in Oratia By Alessandra Zecchini 10/03/11 00:07 I love all colours but I am not the type of gardener who would structure a garden to have it 'colour coordinated'. Mostly I like to see trees (the most important thing in my 'kind of' garden, and colours pooping up amongst the tree, everywhere, all types,...

In praise of chickpea flour, eating broccolini flowers and carrot leaves, and natural skin care In praise of chickpea flour, eating broccolini flowers and carrot leaves, and natural skin care By Alessandra Zecchini 07/19/11 07:35 Chickpea flour, also called gram flour, or besan, or garbanzo flour, is a wonderful product. It is gluten free, high in protein, iron and vitamins, and perfect for vegetarians. I payed $3.50 for a kg bag in the Indian store, and 1 kg goes a long way. My...

My orchids are blooming I have two yellow/green ones two different pink ones (although only one has flowers now). I always...
Champagne Zucchini and do you know this flower Champagne Zucchini and do you know this flower By Alessandra Zecchini 06/01/11 11:29 First the flower: it is a shrub, quite prolific, I had it for years (it was in the garden when we bought the house 14 years ago) and I say shrub because it has never grown into a tree... so I guess that it will remain small (?). It seems to be evergreen...

Well, there are green bananas now, I read somewhere that it is good to cut the flower off, and wrap the bananas with blue plastic. I did just so, thinking that it is getting cold...
