This week’s crowd-pleasing hearty recipe is based on a Neapolitan classic dish; PASTA with POTATO and SMOKY PROVOLONE CHEESE. I cooked this for the first time last week, and I am wondering what I have been doing without this magnificent dish in my life. From the first mouthful, I was head […]
It’s the beginning of 2020; it’s a brand new decade. A new year, a fresh start for so many. Many feel the need to start a new diet, a new exercise regime or even an alternative eating plan. Not me! I may consider changes in other aspects of my life. […]
Last month I was invited on a fantastic press trip to spend a long weekend up in the rolling green hills of Tuscany, in Monte San Savino by bookings for you and Mansalto Toscana. Located on the central-western Italian coastline, Tuscany is frequently visited all year round by tourists from […]
If you’re the type of person who loves their food and wine, then I guarantee that Tuscany is a ‘foodies’ dream destination.

Down a cobbled street, slightly hidden behind the Caldesi restaurant in Marleybone, are the doors to Cucina Caldesi. It was a Saturday night, and it’s where I headed for an evening filled with cooking and feasting. There to greet me with open arms was Lisa from Filippo Berio, who had […]

On my latest trip to Puglia, courgettes were in season, and I was eating them nearly every day, cooked in different capacities. However, there was one particular dish that turned my head. At the time, I hadn’t realised what I was eating was courgette. I was experiencing it in a […]
There is no better or sexier Italian salad than the Panzanella. A Tuscan salad rustled up primarily of two key ingredients; juicy ripe red tomatoes and stale bread or baked bread chunks as I like to use in this recipe. There are many versions out there on the old internet, […]
When it comes to home cooking, I believe that some of the best recipes only use a handful of ingredients. Each carefully selected to complement the other flavours included in the dish. I’ve always found that too many complex culinary characters at once can overcrowd your palate. Instead, it’s essential […]
