What happens when the king of vegetables meets the queen of shells? Well, it can only be magically delicious, right?

With the wild herbs you can vary depending upon what the market or your garden offer. From my walk through the garden, I brought bronze fennel, pimpinelle, sorrel, wild garlic, rocket salad and a single leaf of woodruff to the kitchen. Now is the time to harvest the freshest and finest wild herbs or to buy them on the markets.

Ombre & Cicchetti – Venetian lifestyle

In the past, winemakers in Venice sold their wine on St. Mark’s Square, rolling their wine barrels in the shadow of the Campanile. Hence the name “Ombra”, because Ombra means shadow. From eleven o’clock in the morning almost every Venetian drinks his first glass, his ombra. What is by no means lacking are the famous Venetian Cicchetti. These are the most sophisticated little appetizers you can think of.
