Butternut Papparadelle2

Comfort food! Ah, yes, comfort food! It’s getting to be that special time of year again. Fall is my favorite cooking season (though, really, there isn’t a bad season for cooking!)

Fall is all about warming, autumn harvest foods. Delicata, acorn, spaghetti, and butternut squash are just some of the fantastic…

Valentina's passion is food, and she loves spending time in her "kitchen retreat," as she refers to that room in her house. Valentina develops recipes for creative and comforting food that works perfectly for casual entertaining. Both her recipes and food photography have been featured many times on popular food websites and in print. Valentina shares her beautiful photographs as well as new and interesting recipes almost daily on her blog, Cooking on the Weekends.

Outside the worlds of food and photography, Valentina's other passion is her family (including her two young boys, her husband and her puppy, Maple.)
