From My Tuscan Kitchen, I am celebrating seasonal Sicilian cherry tomatoes. I love this dish because of its simplicity and flavor: Slice bread, drizzle with olive oil and toast in the oven until golden. Mince tomatoes, add basil, salt to taste and a drizzle of olive oil. Remove crostini (toasted bread) from the oven, scrape with a clove of fresh garlic and spoon tomato mix onto crostini. I usually finish with a drizzle of olive oil before serving. And, that’s it.

Pizza Night on the terrace! From My Tuscan Kitchen, I made my House Special Pizza packing spicy flavors of Salsiccia, Nduja, Salamino Picante, Red Onions, Mushrooms, Black Olives, Mozzarella, Pecorino and Conti Sale e Pepe to finish.

It felt surreal to watch Stefano dress cinghiale the first time. After 11 years, it still takes a little getting used to. This little piggy was quartered and shared. From My Tuscan Kitchen, I immersed the cinghiale in a white wine and herbed brine for four days. I prepared a sofritto (celery, onions, carrots and garlic). I browned the piggy. The ingredients went into a pot and stewed for three hours. Dinner is served Stewed Cinghiale on Polenta.

It is Fall in Tuscany. Stefano brought home a bouquet of flowers, in a beer batter they went. From My Tuscan Kitchen, I couldn’t resist Fried Zucchini Flowers. I used Extra Virgin Italian Olive Oil that imparted the flavorful nutty, greenness of the oil. Due to the lower acidity of most Italian olive oils, I didn’t experience any smoking. #rubinirossi #mytuscankitchen #frommytuscankitchen #foodforfoodies #foodstagram #eat #letscookitalian #italiancomfortfood #tuscancomfortfood #formycookbook #food #foodblogger #italianfood #onmytable #goodeats #foodgasm #foodphotography #foodie #buonappetito #eatwell #lamiacucinatoscana #contikitchen #mytuscanlife #vegetarian (at Tuscany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVg1S2KJQ_x/?utm_medium=tumblr

From My Tuscan Kitchen, I celebrated summer with bountiful mix of fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries on my cheesecake. The baby mint leaves were the perfect finish that added a lovely flavor.

It was a birthday month of bar-b-que and salads. From My Tuscan Kitchen, we had cowboy steaks on the grill and a classic Caesar Salad. It is impossible to find bottled dressing in Italy and made the Caesar from scratch. I tweaked the recipe and it is perfection. The Cowboy steaks are my favorite (better than Florentine) and finished with our Sale with Pepe and served with a side of garlic butter. #rubinirossi #mytuscankitchen #frommytuscankitchen #foodforfoodies #foodstagram #eat #formycookbook #food #foodblogger #bbq #onmytable #goodeats #foodgasm #foodphotography #foodie #buonappetito #eatwell #meat #lamiacucinatoscana #contikitchen #mytuscanlife (at Vicchio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR7JeIDLpE6/?utm_medium=tumblr

When we were in Sicily a few years back, I was on the quest for the most scrumptious cannolo. In my humble opinion, Donna Fugata in Ragusa had the BEST tasting! I finally decided to make these Sicilian sweets (slightly deviating from the traditional recipe) and highlighting seasonal flavors. From My Tuscan Kitchen, I prepared my summer inspired Lemon Mascarpone Cannoli for dessert. They were delightfully light, delicate and lemony fresh. I will certainly be making these again. The flavor variations are endless! I couldn’t bring myself to waste the extra scraps of pasta and made cenci for Stefano. #rubinirossi #dessert #americanbakerinflorence #mytuscankitchen #frommytuscankitchen #foodforfoodies #foodstagram #eat #letscookitalian #italiancomfortfood #tuscancomfortfood #formycookbook #food #foodblogger #italianfood #onmytable #goodeats #foodgasm #foodphotography #foodie #buonappetito #eatwell #lamiacucinatoscana #contikitchen #sweettooth #mytuscanlife (at Vicchio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR3O9N6rLOF/?utm_medium=tumblr

We have the Mangia Fuoco 🔥 (Fire Eater) cleaned and shined for pizzas. From My Tuscan Kitchen, I made a red sauce base using a pulpy sweet Sicilian Cherry Tomato Sauce, Conti Sale e Pepe, herbs and garlic. Now, we wait with happy hour!

Celebrating summer with a cold pasta salad! From My Tuscan Kitchen, my specialty Vegetarian Pasta Salad with Whole Wheat Fusilli. I wanted to showcase the local farm fresh zucchini. And, I wanted to add a twist of Sicilian flavors by adding minced Conti Sun-dried cherry tomatoes and an orange and olive oil dressing. Grazie mille @sicamonic for the fresh zucchini! #pastasalad #vegetarian #rubinirossi #mytuscankitchen #frommytuscankitchen #foodforfoodies #foodstagram #eat #letscookitalian #italiancomfortfood #tuscancomfortfood #formycookbook #food #foodblogger #italianfood #onmytable #goodeats #foodgasm #foodphotography #foodie #buonappetito #eatwell #lamiacucinatoscana #contikitchen #mytuscanlife (at Vicchio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQlrIuILgd_/?utm_medium=tumblr

I have been making my own Tahini and freezing the unused portions until needed for a recipe. For our Christmas meal, I wanted great flavors, a simple dish and to incorporate Tahini into my menu. So, I decided to do Asian. From My Tuscan Kitchen, I prepared Ginger Garlic Chicken Meatballs served with Tahini dressing and finished with my Sweet and Spicy Chili Sauce. As an appetizer, I served it as it. The following day, I reheated the leftover meatballs and served them on garlic fried rice, finished with Tahini dressing and Chili Sauce. I am eager to make this recipe again! #rubinirossi #mytuscankitchen #frommytuscankitchen #foodforfoodies #foodstagram #eat #letscookasian #formycookbook #food #foodblogger #asianfood #onmytable #goodeats #foodgasm #foodphotography #foodie #eatwell #lamiacucinatoscana #contikitchen #mytuscanlife (at Vicchio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJUxXGll3hu/?igshid=8qchjzggs2tn

Farina di Mais is Italy’s version of cornmeal.
