103-year-old Verina is a now-retired, still twinkly-eyed beekeeper who discovered her vocation when she was 10 years old. She makes a traditional Italian dessert from Sardinia called “pardulas” using her own honey!

Do you know this rustic Tuscan dish?

This is pitonca, or infarinata, made by Vittoria. Pitonca is Garfagnana comfort food at its finest—a rich, flavor-loaded polenta dish cooked with local ingredients such as cavolo nero, carrots, potatoes and leeks. It may not look very appealing on camera, but it was delicious!

We are in Zollino, a small town in the Grecia Salentina meeting Laura who prepares a traditional pitta di patate salentina, a rustic potato pie, similar to the Neapolitan gâteau di patate, but richer and more rustic in flavor. In Salento, this dish is made all year round and is often eaten cold, served as an appetiser or shared at family gatherings.

The star of this week’s YouTube video is Rosi from Ormea who prepares a local pasta dish known as lasagne di Ormea.

Despite the name, it has almost nothing in common with the baked lasagna most people know. Instead, it belongs to the tradition of Cucina Bianca (“White Cuisine”), a pastoral cuisine based on the simple ingredients shepherds and mountain families had available: flour, potatoes, dairy products, wild herbs and foraged mushrooms.

Rosi made two different condimenti, both delicious!

Have you ever had Pasta with Chocolate?

These are maccheroni dolci made by Maria and Natalina, a traditional dessert in parts of Umbria. Maccheroni dolci is strongly tied to family celebrations on Christmas Eve and All Saints' Day. In many Umbrian towns it remains a nostalgic recipe that grandparents pass down through generations.
