I'm glad that you found the name of that plant! I have seen it but I didn't know the name. Sometimes is so difficult with local names and everything...

Ooh, foraging, my favourite subject. I'm writing a book on wild foods at the moment and blog about it a lot. Have a look a t my current post and see if you can't tell me what plant this is?

Those look amazing!

Making elderflower jelly is a cool idea. There was just a discussion a few days ago on the Wild Green Smoothies group on Facebook about how to use Elderflowers and Elderberries. If anyone is interested, I posted an Elderflower cordial recipe on the group page, which you can find here: http://www.facebook.com/groups/228529537184607/

You can also find information there about wild plants, including wild greens, wild fruit and other wild edibles.The group is a place to share healthy raw recipes using wild ingredients, especially (but not limited to) green smoothie recipes.

In case you're wondering, green smoothies are blended leafy greens with fruit. The taste of the fruit dominates the greens, so if made with the right ingredients, green smoothies are delicious and offer tremendous health benefits. Whether or not you consume green smoothies, the Wild Green Smoothies group is a great place to share knowledge and healthy raw recipes as well as to connect with like-minded people.

cara Giulia,

We stayed with you in the Casita dei cavalli last summer (Late July, Karla and Gary), and met many cats. We hope that the dearly departed wasn't one we got to know! But the kittens look charming, and two of them look like them might have been sired by our (long departed) Vladul Cepis (Vlad the Impaler, of Dracula fame), aka Vlad and many other names. Our stay with you was the highlight of our trip to Italy last summer, many fond memories of beautiful places and excellent food. Greetings from Daniela Gobetti too!
Karla

Hi Outsiderein and thank you for taking the time to write!
You're completely right, I almost do not write about horses here.... I have some photos pending and will post soon, I promise!

Sorry I forgot... yes, Elderflower normally blooms in May.

2011-03-24T16:47:13.090+01:00

I think that Elderflower can be found pretty much everywhere in Italy.. you may ask the locals if they know a place where "sambuco" grows.
If you find it and you try the recipe please tell me about it!

Hi Giulia! I found your blog while searching for prosciutto info-your quick "prosciutto" recipe is neat! Anyway, I am enamored by your farm and would love to visit someday. I'm especially interested in your horses, but I can't find much information on here. can you tell me more about them?

2011-03-15T07:24:19.607+01:00

Don't know that I've ever seen them here in southern Lazio. Is that possible? I'll have to keep a eye open for them. I assume they are in bloom in May? Thanks for the recipe. I LOVE to make liquors and jellies!

@Letizia: waiting for you!
@Ellen: I guessed you would, Richard & Peter are great fans and friends. It's a joy of a place and they have the most stunning gorgonzola di bufala from a producer in Jesi... I'm salivating! :)
