ABOUT
Made al Dente is a slow-travel food blog dedicated to the edible memories that shape us.
Through immersive storytelling, regional traditions, and honest ingredients, it captures the taste of Italy one bite at a time — whether it’s a pistachio granita in Agrigento, a slice of sfincione by the port of Palermo, or the scent of drying tomatoes in an August sun.
This is not a collection of quick recipes, but a thoughtful archive of food, place, and feeling — written to be savoured, not scrolled.
