FEATURED POST

Swordfish Involtini
Welcome to Made al Dente

A newly gathered table of Italian food, memory, and place. Here, recipes are told like stories, ingredients are celebrated for their simplicity, and meals are remembered for more than just their taste. From quiet kitchens to regional travels, this blog is a growing collection of edible narratives — rooted in tradition, curiosity, and the slow pleasure of cooking and reading.
You’re here at the beginning, and I’m so glad you are.

ABOUT

Post Baking

Made al Dente is a slow- food blog dedicated to the edible memories that shape us.

 

Through immersive storytelling, regional traditions, and honest ingredients, it captures the taste of Italy one bite at a time — whether it’s a bergamot granita in Matera, a slice of sfincione by the port of Palermo, or the scent of drying tomatoes in an August sun.

This is not a collection of quick recipes, but a thoughtful archive of food, place, and feeling — written to be savoured, not scrolled.
