June 2026 on Di Testa e Di Gola: leftover bread, sage and drying

by ·

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

June with bread that is never thrown away, a plant full of meanings and drying to preserve summer. Stale bread as a raw ingredient of home cooking, turned into breadcrumbs, soup or panzanella. Sage, from the Latin for to save, and the web of meanings communities have built around this herb. Finally drying fruit and vegetables, a simple ancient method to carry the flavours of summer into the colder months, with a savoury mille-feuille.

The articles are in Italian.
