Mamma Rosa’s Polpettine
Mamma Rosa knew what she was doing: tender savoury meatballs, crunchy crust, melting cheese … mmmm Scented with marjoram.
Burrata with Caponata
Burrata, a little dome of happiness, filled to bursting with a rich creamy centre, barely holding its shape, and just wanting to burst open on your plate. Let it!
Pears Prosciutto & Parmigiano
Simple and seductive – juicy, sweet, salty, crunchy – a brilliant combination.
Luca’s claimed this for himself!
My son Luca reckons this is the best chicken dish he has eaten – ever!

But it was all worth it once we touched down about 10am, Spain-time. This city boasts a curiously beautiful balance of 21st century inevitability and […]
Cavolo nero
Cavolo nero is a bit different to other cabbages because it doesn’t form a head – you know, grow into a ball!
Pasta al pomodoro
Tuscany makes me think of tomatoes, basil, and the beach. Oh, and this gorgeously fresh tomato sauce.
Marcella’s Fresh Tomato Sauce
This makes the sweetest tomato sauce imaginable, but you must start with great tomatoes.

Fried Paneer with Golden Raisins
Golden crunch meets sweet spice – Yum!
Chicken, Fig & Lemon Pies
If lining tins with pastry scares your pants off, just make one big free-form pie. It’ll taste just as good.
Dried figs
Dried figs are honey sweet, fruity and sort of figgy tasting, and a bit gritty, but that grittiness is a good attribute as it provides texture. The skin might look like elephant hide …
Chunky Pasta with Chorizo Tomato Sauce
Need something to fill hungry tums midweek? Chunky pasta with chorizo tomato sauce is the answer! Easy, filling and bags of flavour.
Pastry blender
There are some people who won’t make pastry because they hate getting dough under their fingernails. If that’s you, I’ve got just the tool!

Sticky ribs and beer never fails!
