Why is an egg yolk in Italy so ORANGE? This orange egg yolk or "rosso d’uovo" is highly prized in Italy. Hens are pasture-raised, foraging on green plants and bugs, have a diet full of these carotenoids. As a result, their yolks have this bright orange colour. It is a sign of a healthy diet full of nutrients. #italianeggs #eggs #recipe #italianfood #italian #eggyolkcolour #eggyolk #yolkcolour

It is beautiful enough to eat. This flower produces saffron from the red stigmas. A little goes a long way. #recipe #saffron #italianfood #crocus #flower #edibleflowers

Oops I thought I defrosted cooked frozen sausage but it was a mushroom spread. It makes a great risotto that tastes great. Mistakes can be good. Don’t forget to label food before going into the freezer.
