My husband says he is a lucky man – the people he shows photos of the food I prepare say he is luckier than he realizes.

I am what you might call a “dirty vegetarian”. In that I occasionally eat meat, as I struggle to get enough protein in my diet, and my friends and neighbors – nearly all the Italians I know – are purely carnivorous. While I do limit myself to fish & poultry (sorry guys!), I do my best to limit my consumption for a variety of reasons. Therefore, you will find quite a few images of vegetarian & vegan fare (vegan mostly by accident), sprinkled with a number of non-vegetarian dishes. I love to cook, and Marche has the best ingredients in the world to play with.
