Four weeks in Lecce and the Salento

About the author

Ciao. I'm Mary Louise, a technical writer, editor and technology trainer. I have many interests such as, travel, food, wine, music, reading, writing, cycling, all things Italian (especially Abruzzo), farmers markets, theatre and art. I live in Adelaide, South Australia with my husband Roo and a ginger tabby cat, Jose Gonzalez. I am compelled to take pictures of food and write about it. Travel-wise, I am mildly obsessed with Italy but I travel to, and write about, other places as well. See my other site MLT at Large.

Wow, a postcard from where I’d rather be. Grazie cugina @yotubruja Lory & famiglia. #heartinabruzzo #abruzzonelcuore

Peperoncini sott'olio 🌶🌶🌶

These homegrown chilies, which have been hanging to dry since March, are ready to go into oil. #oliopeperoncino

We are really missing Italy 🇮🇹 this week. So we went to our @adelcentralmarket and visited our favourite butcher and small goods maker @marinomeatandfoodstore and bought some of their house made #bresaola. We’ve topped it here with some shaved fennel, home grown baby radishes and Parmesan. Add a glug of local Adelaide olive oil and a grating of pepper for a tasty starter.

Attempting to dry our homegrown chilies in the garage. #peperoncino
