This website was created by the team behind UBK Restaurant, a family-run kitchen based in Lido di Ostia (Rome, Italy), with the goal of sharing practical cooking knowledge, tested recipes, and everyday kitchen techniques developed through years of hands-on experience.
While the restaurant is a physical place where food is prepared and served, this website is an editorial project: a space dedicated to teaching, explaining, and simplifying good cooking for home kitchens.
The content here is shaped by real kitchen work — repetition, mistakes, refinement — not trends or theory.
Who Runs This Website
The editorial direction of this website is led by Antonio Romano, professional cook and restaurant owner.
Antonio defines the editorial standards of the site, selects and approves topics, reviews published content, and ensures that every article reflects real kitchen practice. His daily work in a commercial kitchen — including pizza preparation, traditional Italian dishes, ingredient handling, and service workflow — directly informs the methods and explanations shared here.
Nothing is published without aligning with techniques he has personally tested, repeated, or validated through hands-on experience.
The editorial and organizational side of the project is supported by Fiorella, who contributes to content planning, recipe testing, and overall site management. Together, they ensure that all information is clear, practical, and grounded in experience rather than abstraction.
This is not a user-generated platform. All published content is reviewed before publication.
What This Website Is About
This site focuses on:
- Italian-inspired recipes adapted for home cooking
- Daily kitchen habits that improve efficiency, flavor, and consistency
- Ingredient guidance (storage, preparation, substitutions)
- Cooking techniques explained in a simple, repeatable way
The goal is not to chase novelty, but to share methods that actually work — the kind learned through consistency, failure, and improvement in a real kitchen environment.
Our Editorial Policy
We believe trust comes from transparency and experience.
Our editorial principles:
- Recipes and techniques are tested or based on direct kitchen practice
- Instructions prioritize clarity over complexity
- We avoid exaggerated claims, miracle techniques, or misleading shortcuts
- Content is updated when methods improve or better explanations become available
- We do not publish sponsored recipes or paid endorsements that influence instructional content
If partnerships or promotions appear in the future, they will always be clearly disclosed.
Who This Content Is For
This website is designed for:
- Home cooks who want reliable, practical results
- Beginners building confidence in the kitchen
- Food enthusiasts interested in authentic Italian techniques
- Anyone who wants to cook better without unnecessary tools or jargon
No professional training is required. When a technique requires experience or specific equipment, this is explained clearly, with alternatives provided where possible.
Our Approach to Cooking
Good cooking is not about perfection. It’s about:
- Understanding ingredients
- Respecting time and temperature
- Using simple techniques well
For more than a decade, our work has focused on observing how food, tools, and storage methods perform under real conditions — what holds up over time and what quietly fails. That mindset comes from years spent in environments where methods are repeated, results are compared, and explanations matter more than shortcuts.
This blog exists as a place to continue that work independently, with the freedom to explore small but persistent kitchen problems that affect everyday cooking.
