Will It Blend?

Hi Everybody,
as promised during our fourth episode, here is the link to the most fun and efficient blender available...at least, as far as my likings!!!



The Total Blender from Blendtec is here featured disintegrating anything available.
Obviously the goal is to demonstrate its efficiency, I guess the point is:
If this blender does not have problems polverizing a pound of golf balls, a broom stick, or even an iPhone, well, it should not give you any sort of trouble when you will attempt to make your Pesto Sauce.

Epicurious Was Here!

It is 5 p.m. on Friday the 19th of October,
and we just finished taping an Under The Tuscan Gun Special to be featured on Epicurious.com starting November 28th.

We cooked for you a delicious beef stew, and we served it over polenta with string beans sauted in cherry tomatoes as side dish.

Since most likely the segment featured on Epicurious won't be more than 3 or 4 minutes long, Gabriele and I decided to shoot the same recipe again next week,
so to give you all "our side of the story"...

Come back then for our fifth episode, and you also will find the downloadable pdf of the recipe.

Ciao

Fatherhood 2.0!

I knew I was not alone,
but still it was very energizing to come across the last issue of the Time magazine.

In the Life - Society section there is a very interesting article by Lisa Tackeuchi Cullen and Lev Grossman:
"Fatherhood 2.0. As dads have begun to act more like moms, old notions of masculinity have come into question."

Oh, if I do relate with all that!!!

When I arrived here is the States I had no visa and no job.
Deb was working like cazy, shooting during the week and flying to Canada over the weekends for some movie she was on at the time.

I had about three weeks to get adjusted, then she got pregnant!
We were very much in love, but still...it was a "Knocked Up" situation!

WELCOME!!!

Under The Tuscan Gun was born out of a romantic gesture...Gabriele and I never thought in a million years to try to have a cooking show. So, I wanted to share with you how this all came about!!!

Before I met My husband, I always considered myself a "good cook”. I’d host an occasional holiday or dinner party, I’d prepare something 'special' for a guest, usually a recipe from a cookbook, that tortured me, but it came out good enough.

debi, mazar, gabriele, corcos,


I am a professional dinner 'guest'...I’ve traveled all over the world, and have sat at some impressive tables: be it the home cooked dinner at a simple Grandma's table in some corner of the world, to the table's of friends, chefs, and fellow food lovers...My palate "gets it"…and, I enjoy a good presentation…yet when I cook, I always over spice, and clutter up the dish, to the point that my meal is sort of a flop, and it never comes out like the photo in the recipe book!
