Chef Nunzio Patruno

For the rest of this week we’re doing something a little different here at Fabulous Fare Sisters. We’ll be highlighting a local Chef today and sharing a few of his recipes over the next few days. Let me give you just a little background: My husband and I recently had the most wonderful experience…we were invited to join a group at Nunzio’s Restaurant in Collingswood, NJ where Chef Nunzio Patruno shares his passion for food during cooking classes. On this beautiful Saturday morning in June, Chef Nunzio brings us all along with him to the Collingswood Farmer’s Market to choose the fresh produce he uses for each class. On today’s menu: Famous Gnocchi of Italy in three different sauces….what a delight to spend the morning with such a charming and experienced chef!

My Hubby came home early yesterday for a long lunch. So while he was taking a dip in the pool I decided to serve him a little lunch poolside. For an easy go to pizza I like to use Naan bread so I always keep some in the freezer. Also the garden has begun to produce some nice green peppers so I just thought… Stuffed Pepper Pizza. Super quick and easy and we were both enjoying lunch poolside!  Continue reading →

Ahi Tuna Lettuce Wraps With Sesame, Ginger Mayonnaise And Crispy Onions 3
This time of year is the best for lettuce from the garden. Our new favorite to grow is Boston Bib or Big Boston from our heirloom seed collection. We buy almost all of our seeds from Bakers Creek because we know they are committed to saving heirloom seeds from all over the world….I highly recommend checking them out at rareseeds.com. Today’s lunch of lightly seared tuna with an awesome Asian inspired mayonnaise was delicious! And the little crunch from the crispy onions (also from the garden) was perfect!
