A sunny spring day at the plaza of the Louvre museum in Paris.

 A quintessential Sicilian dish: pasta alla carrettiera or pasta eaten by carters on their lunch break. In this case I used spaghetti. It's a real simple and economical dish but more important it's very easy to make. It's like a classic aglio ed olio with added with ingredients found in the field such as parsley, wild fennel etc. . The dish is finished with incanestrato or classic Sicilian pecorino. This dish has evolved with many other additions but I prefer making it as original as possible.

 This is to me a very disturbing image. I shot it at Central Park, Manhattan, in the early seventies with a Leica M-2 and the 90mm F 2.8 Elmarit lens. I was also on a boat. There is something unsettlig in this composition. The film was Tri_X, naturally.

A delicious risotto with cauliflower and a light tomato sauce. Just wonderful.

 

 

Bed-Stuy Brooklyn in the early eighties just before gentrification kicked in. What a great color.

 Italian potato gnocchi with Sicilian style ground beef ragu' What can be better on a cold day.

                                        Eventually spring will arrive; I getting very impatient.
