Aiuto! Aiuto!
My friends, Lis of La Mia Cucina and I are in desperate need of a little “aiutoâ€, otherwise known as help Italian style! You see Lis and I would like to celebrate the final days of another glorious summer with an outdoor feast.
There’s just one problem. We seem to have forgotten the food.
I know what you’re thinking. How could we forget the food?
Well what can I say?! Between blogging, work, gardening, summer parties, etc., we just plain forgot!
So here’s what we need: we need you to show up for the feast with a dish to contribute to the table. You can make anything you like as long as it features one fresh ingredient. Consider it a way to celebrate summer’s bounty! The party is scheduled for September 5 so post the dish you are featuring any time before that date. Be sure to e-mail Lis at lamiacucina67@gmail.com or myself at ivonne@creampuffsinvenice.ca with the link to your entry. We will post the round-up on September 5th.
Please join us in this end-of-summer celebration and help us fill our table with some incredible food!
Ciao!
Technorati tags: la festa al fresco
Clarification: I’ve received several questions about La Festa al Fresco so I just want to clarify a few things …
- You have to post your contribution any time before September 5th. The round-up will be posted on September 5th.
- By fresh ingredient, we mean an ingredient that is in season wherever you live. The idea is that whatever you contribute should feature a fresh, local ingredient. You can by all means cook that ingredient.
- By no means does the dish you contribute have to be Italian in nature. You can use whatever cuisine you wish as inspiration!
- Tag your post with the following Technorati tag: la festa al fresco!

This sounds great! I’m up for dining on the terrace any time. Fun idea. But — please don’t use the phrase “end of summer” again.
Ivonne
Hi Ellie,
I’m so glad you can take part. I’m looking forward to your dish!
Hi Lisa,
Ok … I promise I won’t say “end of summer” again … even though it appears fall is arriving early in Toronto!
Alicia P.
Ooo, I’m so excited. Thank you for the invitation; I know exactly what I want to bring.
ilva
I have already promised Lisa to try to make something when I get back to Italy so count me in!

I love it, Ivonne! I think I will dare to send you a fruit dessert even though you are the queen of that category. I hope it is worthy.
Ivonne
