This cod with leeks is one of my nonna’s signature dishes. A little different from the classic Italian baccalà alla livornese, because she always adds leeks — and honestly, it makes it even better.
I grew up eating this.It’s one of those traditional Italian recipes that instantly takes me back to being in the kitchen with her, watching, learning, and just being there.
This is what Italian home cooking really looks like.Simple ingredients, slow cooking, and recipes that come from memory, not measurements.
Baccalà has always been part of Italian cuisine, especially in Mediterranean cooking. It’s a staple of traditional Italian food, rich in flavor, simple to prepare, and perfect for creating comforting meals that bring people together.
The leeks make it softer, slightly sweet, and incredibly balanced. Everything cooks down into this rich, delicate sauce that feels light but deeply satisfying.
This is authentic Italian food.No shortcuts. No overcomplication. Just real ingredients and time.
If you love Italian recipes, Mediterranean diet meals, healthy comfort food, seafood dishes, rustic Italian cooking, traditional family recipes, or simple homemade dinners that feel meaningful… this is one you need to try.
Cooking with my nonna is never just about food.It’s about time, memories, and everything that comes with it.
