Ricette – Recipes

What ever is in season someone is cooking in the kitchens of Pontelandolfo and hopefully that someone is asking me over to eat.  Many of you have said you like it when I talk about cooking the local produce. So, why not make it easy for you to find recipes/ricette.  I will keep an ongoing list here.

Of course if you really want to be part of the culinary adventure join one of our Cooking in the Kitchens of Pontelandolfo cooking vacations.
