Pictured here:
Zucchini flowers stuffed with mozzarella and mushrooms with a timbale of mushroom mousse. If you love zucchini, it's hard to imagine ever thwarting one's development but if stealing zucchini blossoms means the most delicate, delightful dish on earth, who am I to stand in the way? In Capri, we also ate dozens of deep fried stuffed zucchini flowers that were divine -- the lightest batter imaginable -- a healthy gourmet doughnut.
Rucola con porcini e parmigiano: One of my favourite things in Italy are the porcini mushrooms. We had them grilled, roasted and here as a salad with roast porcini (still warm), arugula and parmigiano.
Insalata Capreses: Creamy mozzarrella, perfectly ripe tomatoes, basil and a little olive oil is a gift from the gods to be enjoyed daily (or twice daily) in Italy. Here are a few examples: on a pizza (with proscuitto crudo) at Laterna Verde in Lanciano and at a mozzarella bar in Rome.
