Cook simple, tasty food yourself

We all know them, our famous grandmothers’ recipes. They’ve usually been in the family for several generations and are handed down from grandmother to grandchild. These are often our favourite dishes, which we love to serve our guests along with a good glass of Senza Parole wine. Eating, laughing and toasting to a good time together. This is the reason why to this day, our grandmothers and we as adults love to spend countless hours in the kitchen. So that once all the preparations have been made, we can sit down with friends and family, enjoy the food and crack open a bottle of Senza Parole Primitivo to while away the evening.

Eat regionally and seasonally

Grandmothers are experts in conjuring up delicious regional and seasonal dishes. They are our oracles when it comes to knowing which fruit and vegetables are currently in season, and can tell us exactly which wine goes best with specific dishes. For Grandma’s tomato sauce, the most important ingredient was the tomatoes from the garden, since they taste best of all. Anything that doesn’t grow in the garden at home is sourced from the market.

This regionality and the love and dedication with which the preparation of the traditional dishes took place have a strong influence on us. Grandma’s tip was always the same: “don’t let anything go to waste, it all goes in the pot - lid on and reduce the temperature so the sauce can simmer away”. As adults, we fondly recall this tip and feel even greater appreciation for the regional products. And then it’s time: the family rolls in one by one and everyone gathers around the table to catch up and talk about the good, the bad and everything in between. The adults clink glasses with a hearty Primitivo by Senza Parole and wait expectantly to enjoy the food together.

Enjoy every single one of life’s moments

Our grandmothers have experienced a thing or two. They’ve seen good times, and bad times too. Despite this, they always have a witty saying ready to go – “Nothing a little chicken soup can’t fix!” – and constantly radiate pure joy for life. It is precisely this positive attitude that they pass on to us.

The recipe for all those who want to bring a little slice of this lifestyle into their home and integrate “la dolce vita” into their everyday routine.

Let this be a reminder to enjoy good food together with our loved ones more often and to find joy in the little things in life. It’s worth keeping in mind that we don’t need to make much effort to create beautiful moments. It’s all about those little moments together that can be shared with our favourite people, celebrated with great food and elevated with a bottle of Senza Parole – day-to-day life can be so sweet.
