An interesting photo taken in Chinatown, Manhattan, at night in the middle seventies. The camera was a Leica M-2 with Tri-X pushed to ASA 800 and developed in Acufine. I was shooting much street photography back then. 

        Fusilli pasta with eggplants  and ricotta with a hint of tomatoes and basil. Simply spectacular.

 Pure fantasy. I found a great broccolo at a farmers market and was about to just steam it and enjoy it's fresh flavor. Nevertheless because I enjoy cooking, I decided to make classic aglio, olio e peperoncino with added broccoli spears. To close the dish, I sprinkled muddica atturrata or toasted breadcrumbs. The result was a very tasty and sort of off the wall dish. Go figure.


Well so much for sunny Italy. A bride running for cover during a rain delayed photo session In Orta, Piedmont, Italy. Of course this image was shot in April so it was sunny one minute and pouring the next.

Spaghetti with broccoli, pancetta and a few almonds for a tangy-er flavor. A different take on a popular dish.
