I have always eaten what my mamma was used to prepare (usually Neapolitan recipes)and then I was trying to emulate her.since I got married I take a stab at new recipes, especially American ones, because I have 7 cousins living in Oregon and I really love American recipes!My cousing Robin is a perfect chef: she can cook everythimg! first of all she is very clever in cakes decorations. these 2 women (my mamma and my cousin from USA) are my templates. my husband and all my friends say that my cooking is the best, so they risk to assert i am a "chef"! playing tennis, sea swimming and...cooking! "sartù di riso"(typical Neapolitan rice pie), potatoes gateau, pasta with mushrooms and truffles, ragù(Neapolitan tomato sauce with meat), caprese salad Italian Neapolitan recipes,American recipes, many cakes, every kind of pasta! a burned pizza, a pie with too much noodles
