 Now how very Italian does that title sound??Sooo much better then stuffed zuchini or stuffed courgette, wouldn’t you agree? I just love the Italian language, even though I have absolutely no idea what they are saying except when they say something useful like ‘ciao’ or arriverderci (which I am probably writing down wrong…) Did I...

This dish is simple and so elegant! I also did a stuffed zucchini dish this week, with yoghurt sauce though. [Reply]

Hello there. Just came over from Trissalicious. You are so right. Putting an Italian name to a recipe sounds so much better! Your courgettes look absolutely delicious or… molto delicioso [Reply]

I have the cookbook. I will look it up. I have been to Italy a lot. Interestingly. I find when I travel – especially in the bigger cities – that all cities are now multicultural. That is the basis of Canada – and what I love about it – but you are so right. When I travel, I want to be immersed in a specific culture, and feel it. I want to eat its food without having to research ahead to see what it is and where I can still find it. But, those days are gone. When we were in Amsterdam, we had the hardest time finding some authentic Dutch food – and I love the multicultural vibe in the city … but, I wanted Dutch food! SO, I can relate to your comment about tourism. All that being said, when in Firenza – you must go to the indoor food market in the old town. Ask what the local meat is. A couple of places sell it – a cured meat – I cannot recall its name. Taste the freshly preserved garlic cloves. Make sure you buy a big bag of beautiful dried porcini – but check around first, the prices do vary. Watch what people are eating. There are some places that you can buy a little lunch there that are so authentic it will knock your socks off. You probably know this, but all food labelled with DOP is the best. It is the official seal of approval for each area and each product that indicates it as the best… olive oil, tomatoes in cans… everything. [Reply]  Simone (junglefrog) Reply: Thanks for all the tips Valerie! I will sure keep that in mind when we’re visiting Firenze! As for the Dutch food you could not find; not sure if that is tourism related in this case, as Dutch food is really more home food and tends not to be eaten much in restaurants. Having said that; there is a new restaurant in Amersfoort (which is not too far from Amsterdam) which is specialized in the Dutch cuisine, so if you’re here again give a shout and I will take you there!

teehee [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: Haha… I never really know if I should say courgette or zucchini. I think one is English and the other is americain but I always get that confused! [Reply]

You are really making me miss Italy! The photo of the city at night is amazing. I’ve never made zucchini this way, but guess what, I have four big ones in my refrigerator now! [Reply]

I have always wanted to go to Italy. Especially just to sample all the different food in the different region. I hope you have a good time. I have tried stuffed eggplant but not zucchine. It looks great. [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: I actually prefer stuffed zucchini above eggplant. I do love eggplant but in stuffed form I like the zucchini better! [Reply]

Oooh, you’re going to Italy! So lucky! I went a few years ago. It’s so beautiful, isn’t it? This looks like a lovely, healthy meal. And you’re right, everything sounds better in Italian! [Reply]

I’m sure you will enjoy your time in Italia Simone. The stuffed courgette looks beautiful and very inspiring. I too have that cook book and whilst it lacks pictures it makes up for the amount of recipes. [Reply]

Lucky you–planning a trip to Tuscany! Can’t wait to hear all about it. Stuffed zucchini are so versatile and tasty. Yours look great! [Reply]

It’s a pity that you stayed in Montova for only 1 day! Even 5 days is not enough so am glad you have another holiday coming up! Anyway, I’ve got the silver spoon book as well but have never tried anything from it – thanks for reminding me that I should! [Reply] Simone (junglefrog) Reply: You should definitely try some recipes out of the book. There is something about it (probably the lack of photos) that makes it a bit hard to browse through but once you get into the recipes it really is very good! [Reply]

I love Italy and miss it and you have brought it back! My good friend in Milan would make me these stuffed barchette and I love them. Beautiful post! [Reply]
