Welcome to Hilltop Recipes.
We're Nico and Louise, and we're delighted to share our favorite recipes with you from our cozy kitchen perched on a hilltop in the heart of Italy.
We bring together Italian authentic recipes with modern, busy lives.
Before making our home in the Italian countryside, we both wandered the world.
Nico went to cooking school in Assissi, Italy, and spent years in the bustling kitchens of Italy and Switzerland honing his cooking curiousity.
He then changed course, and explored a business degree in the United Kingdom and Germany.
Louise moved from Denmark to the Eastern United States as a part of her studies, and embraced the diverse American food culture. Here, she developed her love for efficient homecooking and one pot meals.
At HilltopRecipes, we blend Nico's cooking expertise and Italian roots with our shared belief that cooking should be satisfying, wholesome, and easy.
Our recipes celebrate Italian cooking traditions and whole-food ingredients with a practical twist that fits modern life.
You'll find dishes that honor traditional techniques while keeping prep time manageable and ingredients accessible.
Each recipe we share is well-tested in our Umbrian kitchen (in the center of Italy), many of them based on Nico's childhood cooking with his Nonna Lidia.
From quick weeknight pasta dishes to relaxed Sunday dinners, our recipes strike that sweet spot between delicious Mediterranean flavor and everyday practicality.
Come join us on this Italian food venture, where every recipe tells a story and good food brings people together.
Benvenuti a tutti!
