raisin cookies
I’d describe these as tea cookies, with a batter that’s soft and cakelike and scented with vanilla. Kids love them, too.
lobio, healthy bean dip
This is healthier than guacamole or any sour cream–based dip. In fact, it’s sort of a super food if you look at the ingredients.
slow-roasted fennel
This involves 4 ingredients (plus salt and pepper) and patience — it is slow after all.
roast pork with wild fennel & garlic (porchetta)
In Florence this is called arista. It’s similar to the porchetta of Umbria, where they often sell it from food trucks at the mercato.
