My interest for cooking has definitely increased since I moved to Italy. Or rather, my interest for shopping food has increased. It isn’t even possible to compare the feeling of going to the market with the feeling of going to the grocery store to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. At the market I don’t have to ask if something has been produced nearby. I now that the answer I will get is that the strawberries were picked by his son and the eggs come from his grandmother. Rome is not a progressive city, but sometimes not changing the way of living for many years means that you are ahead of everyone else when they start looking backwards.
Anyway, with this great interest for food me and my husband just bought a new mixer for our kitchen so we can make our own pasta and, listen to this, our on sausages. And now I thought it was time for a new apron as well. The idea comes from the book Zakka Sewing by Therese Laskey and Chika Mori. Most of the apron is made out of vintage linen. The textiles at the bottom of the picture will become the tying stripes of the apron.
