Porcini and Potato Soup Recipe

Italy is currently in their winter season and so soups make up for a lot of their cuisine at the moment.

That does not stop us from serving soup during our summer here in South Africa, especially as a starter. Even better when the soup is made well in advance and served room temperature or cold. This wonderful recipe from the ITALY Magazine is a typical Italian recipe that would be ideal to serve cold. Dried Porcini is now freely available in supermarkets and food stores.

The Smallest Cinema in the World, In the Backseat of an Alfa Romeo

The world's smallest cinema won't be found in any building. Instead, the two-person movie theatre travels around Italy on four wheels. The Cortomobile is a cozy all-in-one movie house snuggly fitted into an Alfa Romeo.

The Cortomobile was born in Tuscany in 2006. It is now on an Italian tour, entertaining two moviegoers at a time in the back of a green 1974 Alfa Romeo 2000.
