Making pasta by hand is a way to express my personality, as is cooking in general. In strascinati, my fingers leave their signature quite clearly. Every recipe I create, every dish I prepare reflects not only my taste but also my philosophy of life.
I talk a little bit about myself with respect to my passion for cooking in an interview with Italian Reflections featured today on Italian Reflections Daily.
You can read other interesting interviews here. And I am sure lovers of all things Italian will find interesting pages on Italian Reflections and Italian Reflections Daily.
This is my contribution to edition #75 of Black and White Wednesday - A Culinary Photography Event created by Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook, now organized by Cinzia of Cindystar, and hosted this week by Lynne of Cafe Lynnylu.
The photo was shot in color and then converted to black and white (Lightroom preset Sepia Tone).
This post contains the gallery of images submitted to the event.
On this page, you can find out who is hosting the current and future editions of the event.
An excellent interview Simona. It is always nice to know a little more about the friends we have followed for years in the blogging world.

This food porn is getting old, with all the hungry and struggling people in the world, including your native Italy. Non arrivano alla fine del mese, altroche' esprimere la propria personalita'. Prova a fare una fota degli italiani in fila alla Caritas. Addio.

Just as old as your bumptious and anonymous comment (Cynthya who?)
Fatti una foto tu e soprattutto firmati quando fai i tuoi "j'accuse" senza neanche conoscere la gente.
Sincerely,
Donatella De Finis

P.S. I love the fingerprints, too, especially in B&W! ;-)

Thank you, Paz! The pasta shape is really fun to make. And if you are a bit nervous or anxious, the repetitive motion soothes your mind.
