Chef Chuck
When I started this blog, Chef Chuck from Chef Chuck’s Cucina was one of the first readers to find Ciao Amalfi and introduce himself. With family heritage going back to one of the most prominent and influential families in Amalfi, Scala and Ravello during the Middle Ages, Chuck visits the Amalfi Coast just as often as he can. What an amazing experience to be able to visit the churches in this area and see your family crest! I look forward to meeting Chef Chuck one day when he returns to explore his family heritage along the Amalfi Coast.
In the meantime, I enjoy his blog Chef Chuck’s Cucina where his motto is: “Bringing families and friends together around the dinner table to share old and new Italian recipes.” His tantalizing recipes often send me scampering to the kitchen or to the market fresh with lunch or dinner plans. Since the weather is hot hot hot here on the Amalfi Coast, I have fresh summer salads on my mind. Here are a few of my favorite Chef Chuck salads that I know I will make again and again this summer:
Buon appetito!

Ciao Laura, hey there Chuck! How great how we all meet around each other’s place now and again. I say we go bigger, and plan to meet IN REAL LIFE!

Ciao Maryann! Thanks for your comment and for introducing me to your lovely blog. I look forward to following!
Ciao Lola! Sounds great! How are the Positano plans for June coming along??? 🙂
Chef Chuck says
Ciao Laura, I think you and Lola have a great future plan for us, and anybody else that cares to join! This would be a day to remember, for when blogger’s come together:) I also have a loving future family member with close ties to someone who owns a beautiful house in Praino, with a huge kitchen !! I am sure this would be a glorious memorable time. Just for us to have this opportunity to cook and eat together is imaginable!! I will let you all know ahead of time, so that this notion could become a reality, one bright day! Grazie to all!!

Hi Laura…oh yes Chef Chuck has been over to my blog too..I do follow him..but I cannot leave comment with that style comment box….it just won’t let me sign in, no matter which I choose!!! There are a few people who have that…it is frustrating, not sure why it happens.

Ciao Chuck! A blogger dinner in Priano sounds great! Keep us all posted. 🙂
Ciao Anne! I have trouble commenting on certain blogs sometimes as well, and it is frustrating. Sorry!
