"We had the most wonderful evening with Paola! My girlfriends and I did the ‘Spritz like an Italian’ evening and we enjoyed every minute of it….the cocktails were absolutely delicious and the food was wonderful too! Paola is an incredible host, knowledgeable and generous with the information and tips she shares but she’s also a huge amount of fun and very engaging! We all enjoyed it and would all definitely recommend!"

Proof I took having fun VERY seriously this summer 😂 Concerts. Dancing. A ridiculous amount of good food. New places, old friends, late nights, long lunches and quite a few moments where I thought… bloody hell, life is good. This summer wasn’t particularly productive. I didn’t tick loads of things off a list. I wasn’t trying to optimise it 😂 I just lived it. And actually, I think I needed that. I’ve spent a lot of my life being very good at working, planning, achieving and worrying about what comes next. I’m getting much better at giving the fun bits of life the same importance. Anyway, apparently this is what 46 looks like around here. More dancing. More eating. More saying yes to things. ❤️ Bad Bunny performance was like being part of the best Latino house party ever. The fact @eix.leen spent a year to learn Bad Bunny back catalogue so we could enjoy this moment together was just 🫶 Spending @rob_nowill birthday with the whole was a very very special day @marie_davies1 @theresamakeups @chrishobbs @nattyboobooo @frankiefourstomachs @joe.j.mills Basement Jaxx wiht @ciara_jen_tex and Sally. My raving girls was magical. Back to Italy for 10 days, enjoying the most naughty but fabulous breakfast at @lilithristorante My Lecce loves ❤️ @the_only_giglio @longtallsally84 enjoying a little aperitivo @folialecce Watching the almighty @ezracollective with me Italian fam @leo_macri @valentina.chiri.3 An Ezra moment with @sea_pea @trailofivano @leo_macri @valentina.chiri.3 I think I danced for 90 minutes straight @ezracollective Enjoying a little French cuisine @camille_se1 Dating IRL influencers in the wild 😂 with my gal @ciara_jen_tex Disco Disco Disco @ciara_jen_tex The annual pilgrimage to @nhcarnivalldn More Nottinghill fun with these two @ellenmkwdt @sunnysteelband Birthday love @joe.j.mills @rob_nowill @ciara_jen_tex @eix.leen Super fun dating!! Enjoying my fave dish @pelliccicafe My last dance before I left London @rivoliballroom One final roast before I leave London @hawksmoorrestaurants

Proof I took having fun VERY seriously this summer 😂 Concerts. Dancing. A ridiculous amount of good food. New places, old friends, late nights, long lunches and quite a few moments where I thought… bloody hell, life is good. This summer wasn’t particularly productive. I didn’t tick loads of things off a list. I wasn’t trying to optimise it 😂 I just lived it. And actually, I think I needed that. I’ve spent a lot of my life being very good at working, planning, achieving and worrying about what comes next. I’m getting much better at giving the fun bits of life the same importance. Anyway, apparently this is what 46 looks like around here. More dancing. More eating. More saying yes to things. ❤️ Bad Bunny performance was like being part of the best Latino house party ever. The fact @eix.leen spent a year to learn Bad Bunny back catalogue so we could enjoy this moment together was just 🫶 Spending @rob_nowill birthday with the whole was a very very special day @marie_davies1 @theresamakeups @chrishobbs @nattyboobooo @frankiefourstomachs @joe.j.mills Basement Jaxx wiht @ciara_jen_tex and Sally.

I’m 46 today ❤️  And I think more than anything, I feel grateful.  The road to 46 definitely hasn’t been a straight one. There have been some brilliant chapters and some bloody difficult ones, a few unexpected plot twists 😂 and plenty of times I’ve had to change direction and start again. But all of it has brought me here.  But sitting here at 46, I don’t want to give those difficult years all the attention.  Because look at what I’ve managed to give myself despite them.  A life between London and Lecce. A home I love. Work that that provides me so much freedom. Adventures. Food. Music. Dancing. Ridiculous amounts of laughter. And the freedom to keep being curious about what comes next.  Most importantly, I have the most incredible people around me. People who love me, show up for me, make me laugh until I cry and remind me how bloody lucky I am.  I’m also really proud of the relationship I’ve built with myself.  I think younger me spent a lot of time believing happiness would arrive when everything finally fell into place.  At 46, I know better.  Life can be messy and uncertain and occasionally throw an absolute shitshow your way 😂 and still be really, really good.  This past year especially, I’ve felt myself coming back to life. Not becoming someone new, actually. Becoming more myself.  So today I’m grateful for everything I have, incredibly proud of everything I’ve created for myself, and very excited about the woman I’m still becoming.  46. And there is still so much I want to see, eat, dance to, discover, love and experience. ❤️  Bring it on.

This is NOT the Italian breakfast you’re expecting… 🇮🇹  Because when you think of breakfast in Italy, you probably think coffee, cornetto, quick, sweet and simple.  Breakfast @lilithristorante in Salento was something completely different.  Paul @the_only_giglio and I sat down and the dishes just kept coming. Frittata, a gazpacho made with local yellow tomatoes, ham and cheese focaccia, fruit, quince jam, a peach rice pudding, chocolate torte, maritozzo… and even a little fruit.  Basically, not quite the coffee-and-cornetto situation you would be expecting 😂  And I LOVED it.  It was generous, surprising and gave me a completely different take on what breakfast in Italy can look like.  And this is one of the things I love most about exploring food in Italy; just when you think you know it, somewhere comes along and shows you something completely different.  So… are you sticking with your coffee and cornetto, or are you joining me at this table? 😂

I haven’t cooked myself pasta in ages… and this 15-minute salmon, courgette & tomato pasta is what finally broke the drought 😂🍝  A super easy pasta recipe with a handful of ingredients, very little effort and one little ingredient that makes ALL the difference, lemon zest 🍋  Sometimes you forget that cooking yourself something bloody delicious doesn’t need loads of time or ingredients. A little love goes a long way.  Salmon, courgette & tomato pasta  Fry garlic in olive oil, then add thinly sliced courgette and cook until softened.  Add a tin of tomatoes, @muttipomodorouk polpa is my favourite, season and leave the sauce to cook down while you boil your pasta water.  Cook your pasta (I love linguine or spaghetti for this because the tomato sauce clings to it beautifully).  For the last 4 minutes, add your chopped salmon and lemon zest to the sauce. That little bit of zest completely lifts the whole dish.  Drain the pasta and toss it straight into the sauce with a splash of pasta water until everything becomes lovely, creamy and glossy.  Finish with plenty of black pepper and fresh basil if you have some.  15 minutes. A handful of ingredients. A proper bowl of pasta.  Sometimes that’s all you need ❤️  #SalmonPasta #EasyPastaRecipe #ItalianRecipes
