Sembra un bucket di fiori da giardino invece sono sì dei fiori ma da mangiare! E sono anche veramente buoni.

Il fiore di zucca o fiore di zucchino (chiamato anche fiorillo), dal colore giallo-arancione, è molto utilizzato in campo culinario; per questo vengono utilizzati prevalentemente i fiori maschili quelli che hanno il gambo, chiamato peduncolo, sottile e che sono destinati, dopo l’impollinazione a seccare. Vengono pertanto colti quando sono ancora turgidi e usati generalmente fritti. Volendo usare i fiori femminili, ma già di maschili ve ne sono a sufficienza, si devono recidere con delicatezza, senza danneggiare l’ovario cui sono portati ove non danneggiarlo e così perderlo.

Pumpkin Buds: A Nice Macro Before They Bloom

Pumpkin buds: a nice macro before they bloom.
A few days ago I focused on the pumpkin plant and took several photos.
This one, for example, is of some pumpkin buds (actually there is only one in the image) photographed in close-up.
And, looking even more carefully at the image, I think that they are not even buds anymore as it seems to me that the fruit is already in the embryonic stage.
I like this plant and above all I like the hair along the stem.

The term pumpkin refers to the fruits of various cultivars belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family, in particular some species of the Cucurbita genus (Cucurbita maxima, Cucurbita pepo and Cucurbita moschata) but also species belonging to other genera such as Lagenaria vulgaris or ornamental pumpkin, or Sicyos edulis.

Homemade Stuffed Vegetables: A Typical Ligurian Dish

Verdure ripiene fatte in casa

Homemade stuffed vegetables: a typical Ligurian dish.
Stuffed vegetables are a summer dish par excellence, even if preparing them in the oven doesn't help to cool them down.
In Liguria they are a classic and, in this season, there is no shortage of fresh and local zero-mile vegetables to fill.
Aubergines, courgettes, onions (the best), peppers.

Verdure bollite

Verdure bollite.
Con il freddo di questo periodo un classico è accompagnare il piatto principale con delle verdure bollite.
In questo caso: finocchio, zucchine e cavolini di Bruxelles.
Io non ne mangio ma a moltissimi piacciono.
