One of the protagonists of summer, with its shades of different colors and its different shapes. Each tomato has its own characteristic and the interpretations for enjoying them are endless! The scent they give off reminds me of summers in the garden with mom.

Who said that polenta is only eaten in the summer? This is a heartfelt recipe for me because it belongs to my family tradition and because polenta where I grew up was a precious food for many years. Now in a more modern version: a polenta pizza cooked in a @gozney wood oven This pizza it’s delicious in every season and gluten free! My passion for farms led me to discover an exceptional flour for my polenta-based recipes produced by 👏@pie_ranch , it is Floriani red corn, which arrived here from Italy thanks to @slow_food_italia and @slowfoodusa 🙏Polenta lovers, try it! ❤️. #italiantradition #polenta #myroots #farmproduce #woodovencuisine #gozney #florianipolenta #slowfooditalia #pieranch #californiagrow #slowfoodusa #caponanatinalab #farmtotable #italiancookingculture

🌟Thank you for an unforgettable 2024! 🌟
This year with Caponatina Lab, we’ve shared so many unique moments around the table.
Every dinner, every dish crafted with love, and every smile from my guests has been a special memory I’ll carry with me. 💫
I’m also thrilled to have joined the team @impastiamoclasses as a chef assistant for their cooking classes. Since July 2024, working with them has been an incredible opportunity to grow, learn, and continue sharing my passion for Italian cuisine with a fantastic team.

💞A heartfelt thank you to all of you who chose to celebrate your special moments with me, embraced the flavors of authentic Italian cooking, and supported my dream of bringing warmth and authenticity to every plate.

✨ For 2025, my wish is simple: more shared dinners, more spontaneous laughter, more love for the little things, and more gratitude for everything that nourishes us, both body and soul.
🎉 Stay tuned for what’s next: new culinary experiences, special projects, and who knows… maybe a new dining space Italian style …Let’s keep the journey going!
Sending a big hug and a toast to the future 🥂 Alice 💛
