April 2026 on Di Testa e Di Gola: beans, pancakes, raw food and asparagus

by ·

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

In April the garden came back. I wrote about beans, a humble food rich in history, with ideas for eating them more often. I traced the history of pancakes, from griddle batters to a version with buckwheat, oats and soy milk. Then raw cooking, its origins in nineteenth-century food reformers and vegan raw food. And asparagus, the star of spring vegetables, to be cooked in a lighter and more curious way.

The articles are in Italian.
