Your experience
- Mushrooms with polenta and salami
- Bread dumplings with butter and sage
- Apple pie
My house is very close to our pond, and that is where I look forward to a special dinner to be prepared together. We will start with mushrooms with a red rostrato cornmeal polenta and local cured meats. For second course, bread dumplings topped with butter, sage, and lard and to finish a classic apple pie.
These are poor but excellent dishes. They remind me of my childhood, when precisely at home there were few ingredients available but with those we made delicious dishes. And that is why I want to share my recipes with you, telling you how people used to live many years ago in a remote village in the Bergamo valleys.

Where
Marilena
Cesarina from 2018Location: Endine Gaiano Languages: Italian and EnglishWe are on Lake Endine. This area is an ancient jewel nestled among the greenest of banks. It is the hidden treasure of Val Cavallina.
It is an ideal destination for a trip spent out doors in the name of relaxation and simplicity. There is an activity for everyone: from a simple walk along the lake, to mountain biking, or guided tours immersed in nature and along the hiking trails.
From the terrace of Cesarina Marilena’s, we can admire the panoramic view of the lake. Marilena loves to cook, especially the cuisine of Bergamo, which she learned through her mother and maternal grandmother.
Her cooking, like that of Bergamo, is inventive and full of character. She is capable of creating simple dishes that are appetizing and flavorful, serving quality cheeses from the Alpine tradition, to delicious first courses and, of course, there is the ever-present Bergamo polenta. According to her friends, Marilena’s cooking is particularly appreciated by them, so there’s nothing else to do but try it!
