I'm not sure that this simple, traditional Sicilian milk pudding is really a Christmas dessert. But in our family it has always been known as one, and it never fails to appear on the Holiday Menu.

I'm always happy when I find something new on the market. A novel apple, after long years of cultivating? Into my shopping basket it goes!

The shortest day of the year will be upon us shortly. Why not confront it with a small glass of something delicious in our hand?

A winter casserole that also tastes excellent when reheated the next day!

As much as I like elaborate dishes with plenty of interesting ingredients, sometimes the simple things are the best… Such as a slice of Sicilian oven-baked ricotta with some sage-infused extra-vergin olive oil.

Thanksgiving is the quintessential holiday in the US. But obviously, I've been back so long that getting up this morning, not having to roast a turkey, I forget about it. Looking at the supermarket display, hoping for dinner inspiration, I spot a turkey. A turkey? A turkey! I grab the smallest one I can find (a miserly 6.4 lbs), add some sweet potatoes, cranberries and a couple more small things, and this is all I can shlep onto the bus.
