I learned this recipe from my mother. This Pizza Roll is a specialty she used to make in her restaurant and I wanted to make it at home too.

Start by cooking the vegetables for the filling: in a pan with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a Garlic Clove, I fry the vegetables and set them aside to cool. I chose chard, but you can use broccoli, friggitelli peppers, escarole, radicchio... You can also add sausage to give more character to the filling!

An afternoon spent with my nephews from the US inspired me to dig up this delicious recipe for the best traditional cookies!

These cookies are a memory from my childhood... Our grandma Maria used to make them, flooding the house with a delicious scent. I loved sprinkling the dough with colored sprinkles!
