For some time now, I have been developing a passion for Spanish cuisine, especially rice dishes. This one is truly sumptuous, so flavourful that you wish it would never end.

Schützt die Klima-Milliarden: Keine Haushaltstricks für neue Autobahnen!

Maria Grazia Beltrami @ombraluce.bsky.social · 7d

Hallo 👋 Kannst Du mir kurz helfen? Statt Klimaschutz sollen Milliarden für neue Autobahnen fließen – das gefährdet unsere Zukunft. Jetzt unterzeichnen ✍️ weact.campact.de/petitions/sc...

A German apple pie with a crispy French crust with an Italian name. But what is this thing? Well, make it and eat it: it's really delicious!

Torta Florentine di mele e crema

Her Majesty, the piadina. Made many times without ever compromising on one detail: lard. Of course, it can be made with oil, but unless there are religious reasons, why deprive yourself of such wonderful flavour?

Poor celery, usually relegated to the soffritto, is given a new life in this delicious ragù, which is also vegan but doesn't want you to know it. Gnocchi fit just right.
