Just added the Broccoli Garlic Pasta Recipe to my blog. You can see my teenager loved it. He said it was the best pasta dish ever! It’s a hearty, healthy pasta dish with just a few ingredients including an amazing Le Stagioni d’ Italia Extra Virgin Olive Oil. And it’s quick and easy to cook! #EVOO #oliveoil #broccolipasta #pasta #flavoryourlife #momsmeet @momsmeet #ad https://www.instagram.com/p/CYiWzP6tqSa/?utm_medium=tumblr

Time to get some more Garlin Knots made. I made these for the kids using a delicious sweet & fruity olive oil I received in a #momsmeet kit. The recipe and more info about the #flavoryourlife campaign is on the blog. #ad #recipeoftheday #instayummy #foodie #foodgawker #bakedwithlove #garlic #oliveoils

A Quick Lesson in Italian EVOO

Last week, a group of media, including myself, was invited to a fun tasting of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), held as part of the European Union and Italian Government’s Flavor Your Life campaign to promote EVOO in North America and done in partnership with Italian olive oil producer Zucchi.

As part of the evening, I got to taste and compare three different types of olive oil. I have never really taken the time before to taste the olive oil from each bottle of EVOO I buy on its own (just assume it’s all pretty much the same) and how different olive oil can taste based on the type of olive tree, where it is grown, and how different oils are blended together. It was like doing a wine tasting! One oil I tasted was mild and light, while another one I tasted was heavy, much oilier, and earthy.

In addition, Zucchi had a series of infused olive oils to try which were incredible. I tried the lemon, pesto, and white truffle infused olive oil, which would be incredible drizzled over salads, dipped in bread, or tossed with pasta.

Learned how to make this killer salad at the EVOO #flavoryourlife party at Debbie Diament's My Place for Dinner test kitchen in the St Lawrence Market. Savory biscotti packed a dual punch, with chopped walnuts and fresh herbs making croutons look like tiny crusty leftovers. Toasted pecans upped the nut ante making this a stylish and satisfying lunch!
