Are Ada Parisi, siciliana (viscerally siciliana) but have been living in Rome since 2007. And before I lived for seven years in Milan, but I'm still siciliana. I'm a professional journalist, Head of news and national news agency's internal Askanews. I love obviously travel (who doesn't like?), I love reading and cats. I like to draw and paint, I have written many poems and I also published a book. My great passion is cooking: I have always cooked, Since I was little. I watched her grandmother and mom in the kitchen, as they tried to keep me good by giving me a little’ of water and flour for kneading. As a teenager I was especially sweets, then with the transfer to Milan I started cooking for myself and my partner, Gianluca Atzeni, journalist Three glasses of Gambero Rosso, He now works with me in this adventure by treating the matches with wines and realizing all the pictures and videos you see. But since I moved to Rome that the fun in ' spignattare’ It became an obsession. I started studying, to buy cookbooks and culinary techniques, to experience. So, in December 2013, I decided to put some order in my recipes and those of my family tradition and I created this blog (without knowing the slightest what a blog, What was behind the world of so-called ' her ', term in which I identify myself to the truth). I helped my brother, and for this the blog name is plural, Although after a few months has become de facto a creature only my, I need to take the whole responsibility, in good times and bad. Today we are again in two, but my partner is sardo and Sardinia, land that I love, has great space on this site.
When I took full possession of the site, I decided to work alongside traditional ones of my mind, to make these virtual pages a kind of evolving Cookbook. Not only Sicilian cuisine, then, but the cuisine that goes through my head. I've given some rules, otherwise I would have made this site a chaos: the first rule for me is the most important. No talking, just recipes, video version (I found on my You Tube Channel). Returning home from work and be able to work in the kitchen, try a new combination, an ingredient that I did not know or just give a new shape to something traditional excites me, MI Flash, giving me the charge.
I am constantly looking for exceptional raw, of those foods and wines that make the made in Italy food the best in the world, the most wanted and most envied. Also thanks to my work I know the Italian agrifood panorama and wants, in my small, help spread a little’ Food and food culture, vorrei potere accompagnare ciascuno di voi in questo meraviglioso viaggio attorno al buon cibo che è l’Italia.
Few, I would say very few and carefully selected partnerships only with companies that I personally chosen: products that I quote in recipes, for what it's worth, are the ones I use and I would use anyway, because according to me are superior and they have behind the ambitious projects. In any recipe you find the pairings with wine or other beverages (why eat well means drinking well). In addition to the recipes you'll find reviews of restaurants and pizzerias I've always personally paid the Bill, and you can rest assured that my judgment is completely independent, in good times and bad. Finally, you will find posts about companies, territory and itineraries that fascinate us: Cross l & #8217; Italy with us, tasting the most important products of the territory, looking at churches, monuments, visiting museums, drinking a glass of wine on a journey that you can redo it whenever you want by following my suggestions. With journeys I opened a video section on small Italian agrifood products and some typical recipes of Italian cuisine, prepared by chef, pastry chefs, grandmothers.
This adventure is a constant challenge, daily, to get to do it all and do it well: job, Home, blogs, friends, relatives, outdoors. My life in short.

Dear Ada, I enrolled right now your delightful blog. Are your Sicily dorina Lombard but I was lucky enough to visit twice, in love with Palermo, cuisine, its richness in historical art and especially of its inhabitants, I have met with an indescribable heat. Why are hopelessly crush. I love cooking, and I would follow your recipes belonging to this wonderful land. I thank you for creating this blog where I'll be, from now on, your devoted follower.
Hello! Meanwhile, welcome, and then thank you so much for the love that you feel for my Sicily. On the other hand, I've lived for 8 years in Milan and Lombardy and Northern Italy I know very well the, where I left a piece of my heart. I'm delighted to bring some’ of my land on your table. And know that for any question I answer quickly enough, here or on Fb or on Instagram, I am always. A dear greeting, ADA
from how you show you're a beautiful person both aesthetically and for what you give to others I mean’ love in the noble sense of giving without interest . Thanks
Angel thanks, I'm afraid you overdo it, but in the kitchen I really love. See you soon, ADA
ADA, Hi!
There is a post dedicated to you and your recipe for Oysters. See https://ostrichecucina.wordpress.com/2015/09/21/le-doppiette-di-ada/
Hello Francesca

Congratulations for your blog, the quality of the recipes is awesome!
Thanks for sharing them!!!
Hello,
Alberto
Thanks Albert! Faccio del mio meglio and ci metto passione, Commenti eat il tuo mi fanno felice. The presto and buone vacanze. ADA
Hi Ada !!!
Your blog is very good!! Great recipes, better than the other. Is to be congratulated. For me, cooking is a therapy. I love!! But I only have time on weekends. As I am the grandson of Italians (Napoli) , I love pasta and meats. Don't dismiss a bowl with a nice wine for the preparation of the revenue and during the tasting. Much success to you.
Hugs. Walter
São Paulo – Brazil
Walter thanks! For me too cooking is a therapy! I know what you say! Cheers, ADA
Complimenti sul tuo site. I am of 100% Siciliano blood di Marsala e Sciacca. I live in NY and love to cook all foods. I always happy to make Italian especially Sicilian dishes. I will try your recipes. Maybe one day I will come to cook in Sicilia.
Thank you so much Philip! I'm very glad that you like my recipes and I'm always here if you need some help. I wait for you in Italy!
ADA
Congrats on your wonderful blog! Vist!
And thanks for all the tips and for the joy and positivity that you transmit through your great culinary passion.
I cook alone 3 years (I 35), Let's say I found out late this fantastic world.
Currently I am having a very hard time and place myself at the stove for people that love is one of the few things that give me relief.
Thank you very much, ADA!
Ilaria I blog for two years, first I cooked but not this way. Let's say you love of cooking there was but grew up studying and experimenting. So basically we start at par. I totally understand. I had a very bad 2014 too, and yet I failed this dark time. The kitchen helps me immensely, as do the comments like yours, I do understand that my efforts are appreciated. I am close to you, ADA
Hi Ada,
I peeked into your blog and I have written a recipe which I find definitely great for a good breakfast, the “Orange loaf”. I will try for sure.
I give Kudos to your passion. I too have a passion to Cook, Although sometimes I'd try other people's cooking ...:-)
Lately I have a crazy idea for head, i.e. open, so to speak, a home-restaurant at home only because I love the recipes with natural products and cultivated with organic agriculture. Of course it will be hard for me to realize this because the cost of ingredients will be too high to have a gain.
Then I no longer have a young age… Anyway I give a sneak peek at your blog, because I'm also lover of Sicily since I was small!
Brava!
Greetings!!
It's not a mad idea, It's a nice idea. To me that I love cooking really like seeing people who don't know who follow my recipes or eating my dishes when I taught a lesson. See them eat a whole meal would be very rewarding. So let me good luck, and I support you morally! Let me know your home restaurant! ADA
My sincere congratulations!
Donatella
And my sincere thanks. Thank you Donna! ADA
Hi Ada! Your blog is great! I have already pinned a few recipes and I could go on forever. If you want to switch from creative forum in Sicily. There is a room of pans that might interest you and that definitely you would benefit your contribution.

A hug,
Rosa
Hi Rose, Meanwhile, welcome to my blog, Indeed doubly welcome since you're siciliana. I like the idea of a forum of creative Sicily, I jump when I have two minutes! Thanks, ADA
Wow Ada, This blog is beautiful, your recipes are full of Sun! We took a route more or less similar. I have been a journalist for radio 13 years, then came a wonderful baby you so desired, unemployment and transfer to Milan to follow my husband. And then the blog of stories and recipes (and a little’ music-my three passions-), are still in the early stages, but it has already brought a lot of satisfaction. I would like to include your blog in my favorites list! Congratulations!!! Good blog 🙂
http://www.impastastorie.com
But thanks! And see that eventually Instagram seemed useless and instead you know interesting people? Now I'm going to see your blog. I am emigrated from Sicily to Milan first and then in Rome for work and to me the kitchen is bringing a lot of satisfaction. And who knows that sooner or later there we can learn! ADA
Hallo! Tolle Rezepte! Ich bin ein Fan der sizilianischen Küche. ICH lebe in Zürich, Schweiz. ICH werde Ihrem Blogg folgen. Viele Grüsse
Hallo Tatiana, Ich bin zufrieden das du sizilianischen Kuche liebst! ICH spreche ein bisschen Deutsch und warte dich hier wieder zu sehen schon! Viele Grusse, ADA
Dear Ada, your blog is a source of Visual and gustatory memories. Are of Sicilian origin (My father, my grandparents, my uncles are all of palermo) but born in Turin. 20 + years I lived in Brussels and now live in Paris. I know, I tasted it and I make many foreign dishes, but our kitchen is always and only the best. Your recipes are well explained and easy to make. In a nutshell Ada, Thank you for this blog, When I come here I escape and go back to my beautiful country, What for me is the most beautiful in the world. We Italians abroad we miss so many things that you cannot find. An example for Dummies, turnip greens and zucchini in Sicily (those long) with their tennerumi. What I wouldn't give to be able to buy in Paris.
However continues to seduce us Ada, you are simply amazing.
Hi Elena, delighted to meet you: some’ I envy you because Paris is a city that I love very much, but I totally understand the need to maintain a strong bond with their roots and culture, Dining too. Your words to me move me, because even I in my small, immigrants from one place to another of Italy, I still feel the lack of my land. And if with my recipes can help you fill this small vacuum then, just for this, It is worth it to open this blog. I wish you happy days. ADA
Hi Ada, congratulations (also your brother who started the business with you 🙂 )for the beautiful blog. Is’ really well structured, photos appealing and delicious recipes :-). I opened my blog a few months ago I'd appreciate if you would pass by me: http://www.cucinaearmonia.com.

Ada Bonjour, allow me to call you even if I don't know you in person, but I'm sure you don't formalizzerai. I must immediately make you or make you, the compliments because the Blog is really catchy, and the recipes that you have posted are one better than the other, the type I look at the pictures and I is a craving to taste the dish, congratulations. Also because it is not easy to cook a dish so important every day and always fail to publish it, I s0 something.
See you tomorrow
Hi Joe, of course you call me you! Welcome and thank you very much for your words. No, You're right, It is not easy to publish many recipes and keep, as I try to do, a consistent standard. I'm glad you like the blog and you find interesting my recipes, especially since you know all about that too. A warm greeting, hope to see you again here soon. ADA
Thanks Ada, also from me a hug..
Nicola
Ada Bonjour, keep it up, because your recipes are awesome.!! greatly appreciate the Sicilian cuisine.. I'll tell you more part I tried, but the best ones are the jams.. I did it all with voting from 10 ++ ++. Thanks to you and to my commitment.!!
Take this opportunity to ask you anything about Donuts. the ones I found, I didn't like !!
Hi Nicola, and thanks as always for your very kind words! Then, I really love the Donuts because this type of frying cakes at home is always quite greasy…I don't ever, I much prefer brioche pastes… However, if I were to try a recipe that convinces me you'll be the first to know! A hug, ADA

Elena and Silvia
Gb Studio
Good morning, and congratulations on everything you publish, because since I discovered his blog
I follow constantly his recipes, These are colorful and tempting to try them!! I like to make jam, I tried one outstanding !! the trouble is that the Fund has accumulated a layer of sugar (burned) I shot in continuous. I made so much effort to remove this layer while having followed her advice… the Pan that I used is stainless steel normal version.. can you recommend a pan where this doesn't happen ?? should I change the Pan and take one with the bottom more often.??? Thanks!!! Nicola
Hi Nicola! I remember of your problem with the pot. Then, I used a stainless steel pot with double bottom and had absolutely no problem. First I did marinate the fruit and then I put it on the fire, that must be very low, just to avoid that caramelized sugars overcooking. I didn't have any problem, I don't even have often mixed and washed even the pot by hand and not in the dishwasher. I'd say, try a pan wider than it is tall and thick bottom at least one centimetre and keep on low heat. Let me know, ADA. And thank you for the compliments, the fact that my recipes are redone and appreciated is the reason why I love cooking. ADA
But how much do they know about these two brothers!!! fantasic!!! 😉
Hello Simona, thanks and welcome! ADA
I just discovered your blog and I immediately added “Favorites” 🙂 love the Sicilian cuisine that reminds me of his paternal grandfather (Siciliano) And the “Scaccia” He had taught my grandma…is a life that I'm not eating…..
Good luck
Silvia
Hello Silvia, Welcome! The scaccia is a dish in todo list, I've been asked in many. You like would you rather (small survey :-9 )? Dear greetings, ADA
Good! For all. Also for teaching me a recipe for Apple Pie that is in addition to others that I have collected over the years. But this is very “siciliana”, namely Baroque and Rococo, perfume and colored soft meringue pie.
Over in a moment!
I will follow you for the rest….
Hello Donatella and welcome to my blog! Saw that you liked my Apple Pie we make an Exchange! Give me one of your recipes and I will try I! You nailed the point on cousine, Baroque and Rococo: even my partner who is sardo defines it ever so. I hope to see you soon! ADA
Not the siciliana, but it's as if you were (I live in Emilia). I do not know why but when we visited Sicily far and wide, for one week only, It was as if I had already lived in all those beautiful places.
And the caponata? I ate the real one in a restaurant and who forgets….
I'll tackle in your recipes, authentic.
Good luck with your work,a hug from a Sicilian soon acquired.
Hello and thank you for your love for my land! I always think its visitors with honest eyes leaves you a little piece of my heart and you I confirm! I recommend, If you try my recipe give me an opinion, I care very much. ADA

Away with your suggestions for easy recipes and Sicily.
Appearance.
Lots of good luck. But you don't need.
Hi, It's a real honor that you have visited our blog finding inspiration for his work, so important and so deserving. I agree completely on the kitchen and the Sicilian sweets (every once in a while’ healthy parochialism it takes) and I hope you will find interesting is some simple dishes already exited (all egg patties and fresh vegetables, quiche and savory pies that are easy, simple and economical, or vegetable soups and soups now comes the cold) be more outgoing, If you believe, can I report them even with an email. Good luck to her, rest at your disposal for any need. Thank you very much, ADA
Beautiful your blog also I like to Cook. My kitchen is from Sicilian and Neapolitan sarda. I will explain the reason for this combination
Hi Rosaria, thanks and welcome! My kitchen is very contaminated, Sardinia first saw that my partner is sardo. I await news 🙂 Ada

In this hot Sunday, one of the few, It almost smells of summer, I smile looking at your pages.

A big good luck for your blog!

Your words make me really happy! Is’ just the atmosphere that I wanted to give this blog: tradition but also a modern interpretation! Thank you very much! ADA
I too would love to follow you, Sadly I graduated elementary school in 1947 and so I have a lot of difficulty understanding many of the expressions used by you and by many readers, so in spite of myself I am forced to give it up. "By the way", What do you mean your player Andrea when he talks about “food photography ” ? Anyway congratulations to both.
