A postcard from Italy

June 5, 2013

I’m back from a truly memorable family holiday with husband and children to Italy, visiting the relatively undisturbed, food-filled region of Emiglia Romagna, offering an abundance of local produce, stunning panoramic mountain landscapes, quaint local villages and nearby striking Adriatic coastline.  We were also able to take in some of Veneto, flying into Venice for an overnight visit, before driving down towards Bologna and Bagno di Romagna. We were utterly captivated by the charm of Venice with its Grand Canal, the Rialto Bridge and famous Rialto Market, along with tranquil gondola rides and the views of the Palazzo Ducale from the balcony of St Mark’s Basilica.

Venice

After Venice, we spent the majority of the week in the pretty spa town of Bagno di Romagna, about three kilometers from where my gorgeous sister and her family live. After making ourselves at home in a 17th century apartment called ‘Casa Biozzi’ we continued to explore the region. This was a wonderful base from which to strike out across the border into Tuscany and to re-visit Florence. We also spent the day exploring the capital of Emilia Romagna, Bologna, where I was simply enthralled by the backstreets, shops and food markets beyond any comparable measure – lots more on Bologna to come. We also managed to track down the sleepy town of Forlimpopoli, the birthplace of Pellegrino Artusi, author of famous Italian cookbook “La scienza in cucina e l’arte di mangiare bene” where we found Casa Artusi housing a delectable restaurant, a library with 4,500 cookery books as well as a renowned cookery school. And of course, we were blown away by the array of local delicacies, such as spring ‘prugnoli‘ mushrooms, porcini fritti, red wine from the region and lots of unbeatable home cooked, Italian food and hospitality. The children were very happy too and in their element eating spaghetti pomodoro, tagliatelli al ragu, pizza and gelato every day!

Bagno Food

It’s hard to pick a highlight; the whole week was full of fun; famiglia and laughter.

As you can imagine, I have enough memories now for at least a thousand blog posts and I’m very sad to be back at home. I’ve no doubt that my Italian adventures will inspire my writing and cooking for many months to come.

I’ve hit the ground running with a post over on Jamie Oliver.com on Vegetarian Pizza Ideas. You can read some of my other featured pieces, currently to a vegetarian theme here.

The @JamieOliverCom team are also new to Twitter, so pop over and say ‘hi’ with a tweet.

Burrata

In the meantime, thank you so much to everyone who entered Simple and in Season this month for its second birthday! I was blown away by the number of entries and promise to round up very soon. The June blog event will be open shortly, too.

Hope you enjoyed your half term or late spring break, if you had one. Let me know what you did.

Note: This was a family holiday, all expenses and experiences were our own.

    The name Andrew Carnegie Whitfield doesn’t hold quite the same aura as Amelia Earhart

    was big news. You’re almost there-now take your fifth and final
    popsicle stick and weave it through at the

    It wouldn’t be uncommon for dominantly right brain moms to forget that you have a pot of water boiling about
    the stove until she heard the hiss of water overflowing onto
    the burners. Half a hundred years later, Charles Perrault and his awesome contemporaries took some of the earlier European peasant tales and massaged them until
    we were holding more suited for the aristocratic salon pair of 17th-century France, where
    storytelling was considered a crucial social art.

    Be sure you call the companies and ask any questions
    you have before making your choice. Often the scenario is that
    the companies are at a loss of finding the correct means

    What You Need to Know About Fast Weight Loss

    The pure and simple fact is your desire to burn the fat or drop some weight is admirable and you should go for it.
    Maybe you are an athlete who has a weight goal you need to
    meet, or you have an important event coming up.
    Maybe your doctor has told you that you need to fihd a way to lose weight quickly for health reasons.
    Whatever your reasons may be, you have lots of options available to you.
    For decades, savvy business people have been pushing crap weight loss products
    on unsuspecting consumers. We will teach you about
    a few of them in the next few paragraphs.

    Eat foods that are mostly water, particularly if you feel like a snack.
    Salads are great because they have a lot of good nutrition, but lettuce
    is a high water content veggie. It also means that you can still
    feel like you are eating and getting full while consuming far less calories than you would during snacks and mealtimes otherwise.
    There are literally no negatives with this method, so you can choose to do this or not.
    You can see how this will only help and you’ll burn more fat calories, too.
    Start counting calories because if you want to lose weight quickly,
    you should figure on a diet that consists of
    seven calories per pound that you currently weigh. If you’re under 200 pounds, then you’ll be looking at about 1400
    calories on a daily basis. Some diets, like the Paleo for example, allow people to eat almost as much as
    they want without counting calories. You want to start burning up
    fat cells and using them for energy, but avoid cutting down too much on calories.

    Your body really struggles when you consume highly processed foods that contain a
    bunch of chemicals. Natural foods are the stuff of life,
    not processed foods that drag your energy down the drain.

    So another cool thing that will happen is there will be less calories hanging around in your body which means regulating your weight will be easier.
    Just try out some of your favorite natural foods, and
    then work more into your diet over time. There are all
    sorts of healthy and effective methods that you can use when you
    want to lose weight quickly. The trick to being successful is to not let yourself get taken in by fads and marketing.
    Choose something sensible and then stay with it and you’ll
    get the results you want. The more you work at this, the better able you will be to do what you want to do.

    Losing Weight Quickly and How To Do It Safely

    There are a lot of reasons to want to lose weight quickly,
    and perhaps you have a major event coming up and you are feeling self conscious about your appearance.
    So that may be the cause, and another possibility is that you just want
    it off now. Whatever the reasons are what matters most is that you choose the healthiest approach possible to shedding pounds quickly.
    If you’re really serious about this, then continue
    reading to discover three unique approaches.

    Sometimes just the feedback you can give yourself from noticing what you
    eat and drink is enough to make you do something about it.
    When it comes to eating unhealthily, many or some people acknowledge it and then avoid any positive action.

    Just imagine what it would be like to see everything you ate and drank for an entire year!

    Maybe this can have an impact on you, and if you’re honest with yourself, it will.
    Just these simple cuts and substitutions can reduce your diet by hundreds of calories which is really important
    when you want to lose weight quickly.

    How is your daily amount of fiber? If it’s not so good,
    then again you have to get more fiber. Constipation is a
    serious condition because it can lead to secondary problems.
    It can help scrape out waste product that might be clinging to your digestive tract and make sure that the stuff actually leaves your
    body. A great source of fiber is bran, so eat a cereal that contains bran and make sure you take in lots of fruits and vegetables.
    You’ll be amazed at how quickly you lose weight as you shed all of that excess waste that has just
    been hanging out inside of you.

    It’s certainly well known that foods that are natural will be better for your body.

    It is the natural foods that supply all the right things
    so you can turn it into energy.

    You’ll store fewer calories for later which means that you will
    have an easier time burning fat because you will have less
    to burn through. But bee patient with all this because we’re talking about lifestyle changes which can be hard to take, sometimes.
    It’s no joke that you can discover multiple approaches to weight
    lossin a short period of time. As you work, do your research and learn, you’ll
    come up with all sorts of other things that will help you shed the pounds you want to shed at the rate you want to shed them.

    If you already have an existing medical condition, then see your doctor before you try anything questionable.

    I’m experiencing some small security problems with my latest blog and
    I’d like to find something more risk-free. Do you have any recommendations?

    I am extremely impressed with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your
    weblog. Is that this a paid subject or did you customize
    it your self? Either way stay up the excellent quality writing, it
    is uncommon to look a great weblog like this one nowadays..

    I seldom leave a response, however i did a few searching and wound up here
    An Italian Adventure and my Latest Posgs forr Jamie Oliver.com
    – Ren Behan. And I do have 2 questions for youu if you don’t mind.

    Is it just me or does it appear like some of these comments appear like they are
    written by brain dead people? 😛 And, if you are writing on additional online
    social sites, I would like to follow anything fresh
    you have to post. Would you list of the complete urls of all your communal sites like your Facebook page,
    twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

    Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
    I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform.
    I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

    Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell
    and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear
    and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and
    it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this
    is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

      Thanks Kellie, have missed you! Popped over to your blog and was stunned by the hummous and spring vegetable tart. Will be making that this week. Yes, it was just the right temperature and hardly any tourists to speak of 🙂

    Wow! That sounds like a fantastic holiday. So glad you enjoyed yourselves so much. I would just love to go there, we have a place in France but we never seem to find the time to get over to Italy. I’m really looking forward to reading more of your food adventures.
    Cheers!

      Yes I used to always like going to France, although recently it’s been North Wales, this was our first trip abroad in five years and a long overdue visit to my sister who has lived in Italy close to ten years! Our last visit was to the South – Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi and Capri – that was wonderful, too.

    What a lovely post – your holiday sounds so wonderful. I visited Venice about 7 years ago and was stunned at quite how amazing it is, so beautiful but with a surprising number of areas that aren’t too touristy, with gorgeous little piazzas to sip coffees and watch Venetian families go about their everyday lives. Would love to visit Emilia Romagna and am having more than a little food envy about all those fabulous Italian meals!
