January 2026 on Di Testa e Di Gola: spoon desserts, grass peas, books and Indian cooking

by ·

From my articles in Di Testa e Di Gola, January 2026

January, after the holidays, started again with spoon desserts, beautiful and delicious even with plant-based ingredients only. I wrote about the grass pea, an ancient pulse of central Italy grown for over eight thousand years and long forgotten. I gathered films, books and authors to find your way in vegan thought. And I wrote about the basics of Indian plant-based cooking, starting from my first trip to India in 2008: a tradition where pulses, spices and vegetables have always been the stars.

The articles are in Italian.
