Today we had lunch at my brotherโ€™s @marco_francesc Today we had lunch at my brotherโ€™s @marco_francesco_carrino, and of course he made one of our family classics: ๐ญ๐ฎ๐›๐ž๐ญ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ข ๐œ๐จ๐ง ๐ฅ๐ž ๐œ๐จ๐ณ๐ณ๐ž, small pasta tubes cooked with mussels. Our dad was from ๐“๐š๐ซ๐š๐ง๐ญ๐จ, a city where the sea, and especially mussels, is such a big part of the local food culture. Tubettini con le cozze is one of those recipes that brings back so many memories of our dad and our family. Today we got to share it with our friends who came all the way from Texas with us to experience Puglia, and give them a little taste of our family traditions too. And my brother decided that tubettini con le cozze deserved a bottle of Bollinger. ๐Ÿฅ‚ Not very Puglian, I knowโ€ฆ but definitely a great pairing!!! #PuglianFood #TasteOfPuglia #FamilyRecipes #ItalianFoodCulture #PittulaItalianGoodies
Thereโ€™s a different kind of luxury in the Puglian Thereโ€™s a different kind of luxury in the Puglian countryside. Itโ€™s the silence. The warm light at the end of the day. The smell of the earth and the fig trees. Long dinners, simple food, and nowhere else to be. The sky changing colors, the countryside turning gold, that warm light that makes everything look a little more beautiful. And sharing it with my favorite people makes it even better. โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ @masseria_celano #Puglia #PugliaItaly #PuglianCountryside #PugliaSunset #ItalianSummer
