Explosion of ancient flavors at the foot of Vesuvius

Hi, I'm Lina and I'm from Boscotrecase, a small village on the slopes of Vesuvius. The love for cooking comes from far away, seeing my mother delight in the kitchen has rooted in me the passion for the Neapolitan gastronomic tradition, which I can create with simplicity. For me the kitchen is a moment of aggregation and this is why I love cooking not only for my family but also for the friends who often sit at my table. Usually my ragùs are more appreciated: Genoese, Neapolitan/traditional, Bolognese. My workhorse are also leavened products, in fact I delight in making rustici, pizzas (both baked and fried), sweet and savory casatielli and much more. In the summer, typical dishes that enhance seasonal products such as eggplant parmigiana, friggitelli, stuffed and fried sweet and sour peppers, stuffed zucchini flowers and zucchini flower fritters can never be missing from my table. In winter, however, in my kitchen you will find sausage and broccoli, cauliflower fritters, escarole pizza, onion omelette, potato gateau. For a complete journey through the flavors of my land, sweets cannot be missing and, in this regard, how not to mention the wheat pastiera, the cornerstone of Neapolitan pastry. For those who want to try another dessert, I also make staples and tarts.
