Monday January 22nd
Many of you know that I really love my grandmother�s cooking. My grandmother,
Silvia, is 91 and she lives in a small village near Turin, in Italy. It�s a really
beautiful place. I go there three times a year, and I love spending time with my
grandmother in her kitchen. It�s pretty small, but it has everything you need.
My grandmother�s area of Italy is the home of the Slow Food organization.
Slow Food believe that local food and traditional cooking are very important. Their
ideas are popular � they now have a college in the Italian town of Pollenzo, and
offices in many different countries, including Germany, France, and Japan.
Their ideas are important to my grandmother, too. She makes a lot of pasta
dishes, but today, I�m sharing her recipe for a soup called ribollita. At this time
of year, I love eating lots of green vegetables. That�s why this is one of my
favorite winter dishes. It takes a long time to make � it�s a good recipe for a
cold day when you don�t want to go outside. I hope you enjoy it!
You need:
2 onions about a pound of green vegetables
1 carrot 2 liters of water
1 potato a hard Italian cheese, like Parmesan
a can of tomatoes 4 pieces of bread
a can of beans
First, cut all the vegetables into small pieces. Then, cook the onions and
carrots for about 30 minutes. When they are soft, add the tomatoes, the potato, and
the Parmesan cheese. Cook for about 15 minutes. Then, add the beans, the green
vegetables, and the water. Cook for 30 minutes more. Turn off the stove and put the
pieces of bread on top of the soup. Wait for about 10 minutes, then eat!

Match the words in bold with the things they refer to.
1 It�s a really beautiful place. a) the writer
