Most people hear the word “salad” and think of lettuce. Italians often have something else in mind.

In this video, Eva shares three Italian salads that are packed with flavor, incredibly easy to make, and built around ingredients you probably wouldn’t expect to find in a salad. In fact, none of them contain a single leaf of lettuce.

Together, they show why Italian salads have such a different reputation from the salads many of us grew up with. Along the way, we also take a look at one of Italy’s most famous and beloved salads, a dish that’s deceptively simple but often made incorrectly outside of Italy.

If you’ve always thought salads were boring, this video might change your mind.

Most people know Roman pasta through Carbonara and Cacio e Pepe. They’re famous for a reason! But traditional Roman pasta cuisine actually rests on four classic dishes, and two of them rarely get the attention they deserve.

In this video, Eva shows how to make two of Rome’s most iconic recipes and essential parts of the city’s culinary tradition. Built on a few simple ingredients, these dishes prove that some of Italy’s greatest pasta recipes don’t need much to be extraordinary.

Along the way, we explore what makes each dish unique, how they’re connected to their more famous cousins, and why many Romans consider them every bit as important as Carbonara and Cacio e Pepe.

We’re back with another hidden gem of Italian cuisine, and this time we’re heading to Liguria for one of the most surprising "pizzas" we’ve ever eaten.

At first glance, Pizzata Ligure looks simple. It’s incredibly thin, loaded with classic Mediterranean flavors, and doesn’t seem all that different from countless other Italian pizzas. Then you take a bite and realize there’s something very unusual going on.

In this video, Eva shows how Pizzata Ligure is traditionally made and why it has become our favorite thin-crust "pizza" of all time. If you think you’ve already experienced everything Italian pizza has to offer, this hidden gem from Liguria might change your mind!

Fava bean season is here in Italy, and it’s one of our favorite times of year.

In this video, Eva shares a few traditional ways to enjoy fresh fava beans, from a simple snack to one of our favorite vegetable recipes of all time. They’re incredibly versatile, but what makes them special is how good they are with very little added.

Fava beans are something a lot of people have heard of, but not many actually cook or eat regularly. In Italy, they’re a staple during this time of year, and once you try them prepared properly, it’s easy to see why.

If you’ve never really explored fava beans before, this is a great place to start!

A viewer recently wrote to us expressing some frustration that a relative, due to celiac disease, can't enjoy classic Italian pasta recipes. We were quick to point out that just about every pasta dish can be adapted to use rice. And that got us thinking...

Even if one has no problem eating pasta, there are some really good reasons why everyone should try using rice in some of their favorite "pasta" recipes. You might be surprised to find you even prefer the rice version!

BUT: it's not just as simple as replacing the pasta with rice. Depending on what kind of pasta dish you're trying to recreate, there are a few different approaches you can take and tricks you should know to get the best results. In this video, we're taking a look at a few different kinds of classic pasta recipes and how to turn them into delicious rice dishes!

Artichokes are a huge part of Italian cooking, so it’s no surprise a lot of people have asked us for more recipes. We’ve always avoided the topic though, because Italian artichoke recipes come with a bit of a problem…

In this video, Eva shares three traditional Italian artichoke dishes that are simple, delicious, and very typical of how they’re cooked in Italy. On the surface, they seem straightforward, but there’s one catch that makes them surprisingly difficult to recreate.

If you’ve ever wondered how artichokes are really used in Italian cuisine, or why these recipes don’t always turn out the way you expect, this video will give you a better idea of what’s going on.
