5 SIMPLE STEPS TO COOK HOMEMADE “SENZA”

We are Vallì & Dave, and we believe in the magic of cooking from scratch to highlight the true taste of food. We do it with our “SENZA” approach—a constant exploration that starts with tradition and ventures into the most unusual combinations, always delivering an explosion of flavors.

But what do we mean by “SENZA”?

“SENZA” means cooking without salt, without sugar, and sometimes without gluten, but most importantly, without preservatives. It’s about going back to basics with natural and authentic ingredients. It’s a journey of flavor and simplicity that we’re excited to share with you.

Here are five steps to embrace this philosophy and bring a touch of “SENZA” into your kitchen.

1. Know Your Groceries: Read the Labels

It may sound simple, but knowing what you’re buying is the first essential step to eating homemade and “SENZA.” Product labels are like a food’s secret diary—they reveal everything it contains. Developing this habit will increase your awareness and help you avoid unwanted ingredients like hidden sugars and preservatives.

Benefits:

• You know exactly what’s going on your plate.

• You reduce your intake of additives and choose more natural products.

• You save money by opting primary ingredients.

2. Start with Simple Recipes

There’s no need to overcomplicate things. Begin with basic dishes like homemade pasta or a quick sauce made with a few fresh ingredients. Success with simple recipes will inspire you to explore more.

Benefits:

• Achieve immediate results without stress.

• Build confidence and learn the foundations of natural cooking.

• Delight those around you with authentic and delicious dishes.

3. Plan Your Meals and Maximize Your Output

Making an extra portion can be a lifesaver on days when you’re short on time or energy to cook. The freezer becomes your secret ally for always having fresh, homemade meals ready to go.

Benefits:

• Save time during the week.

• Reduce food waste.

• Always have a healthy and delicious option at your fingertips.

4. Choose Quality Ingredients

The quality and freshness of your ingredients will make all the difference in your cooking. Once you're in the kitchen, you’ll find you don’t need to add countless components to achieve the rich flavors you’re aiming for—this is the essence of every “SENZA” dish. Their authentic tastes will speak for themselves.

Benefits:

• More flavor with less effort.

• Nutritious and satisfying meals.

• Support for local and sustainable producers.

5. Have Fun!

Cooking should be a game! Yes, you should have fun in the kitchen! Bringing joy to cooking gives your food a different and better flavor. Since we need to eat at least three times a day, we can influence our days by experimenting and playing with ingredient combinations. It’s a little treat that offers us daily comfort and certainty.

Benefits:

• Give more value to what you do for yourself.

• Discover new passions and flavors.

• Share special moments with the ones you love.

Cooking homemade and “SENZA” is a journey that brings you closer to nature and allows you to take care of yourself and others. Start with these five steps and let your kitchen become a place of joy and discovery.
