    The foods we love to feature on tour and celebrate at home always come back to the people. Our favorite restaurants are owned and operated by real people, who belong to a specific place, and whose hands, faces, and stories give as much to the dishes they make as the ingredients they use.

    Easter Savory Pie (Torta Pasqualina)

    Inspired by Carla Simondo, a veggie and fruits producer near Albenga and shop owner in Alassio.

     

    Originally from Liguria, the name derives from Pasqua (Easter in Italian). Traditionally, it calls for 33 sheets of dough, marking the years of the life of Jesus Christ. Nowadays, the trend is to use two sheets of dough only.

     

    As Torta Pasqualina stores well and can be served cold, it is also typical at the picnics of Pasquetta (Easter Monday), which Italians love to celebrate together.

    Tumbet Mallorquin (Mallorcan Ratatouille)

    By Chef Roberto Díez from Son Julia Country House in Llucmajor, Mallorca, Spain

                                                                                                     

    Everywhere we go, not only in Italy, we love to collect recipes from chefs and home cooks who are keeping their regional traditions alive for the tasting.

     

    This Tumbet Mallorquin or Mallorcan vegetable bake is reminiscent of Provençal ratatouille or a version of eggplant Parmigiana (minus the cheese) and comes to us from Chef Roberto at Son Julia near Llucmajor on the island of Mallorca. It is typically served as an appetizer or a side dish.

     

    Enjoy it with us on Mallorca or try making it at home. Bon profit (bon appetit in Mallorquin).
