I decided to go for an Autumn walk on Sunday and came across some lovely Autumn colours, a beautiful warm day and just perfect to stop off for some Roasted chestnuts at the Castagnata in Pontremoli on Sunday!

CASTAGNATA PONTREMOLI 9TH OCTOBER
Every Sunday in the month of October in Pontremoli from 11am to 7pm there is the "Castagnata" an autumn chestnut festival where you can taste the local dishes made from chestnut flour like patona and frittelle di castagno as well as roasted chestnuts and local specialites like torte d’erbi and local wine tasting.
There is also a small artisan market.
Well worth a visit.
My home made pizza
Common belief is that the Italians invented the pizza but flat uneven bread cooked in mud ovens were used in ancient times.
Naples however created the familiar pizza as we know it now and has become one of the most famous dishes of Italy.
I love making home-made pizza, its tasty with simple ingredients although the secret lies in making the pizza dough.
Since moving to Italy I have grown to love cooking and choosing my fresh ingredients from my local verduraio and as I'm vegetarian for me it is heaven.
