One of the things I look forward doing the most when I get to Puglia is go and see the beautiful clear deep turquoise sea. I’ve been very blessed and have enjoyed countless swims in what I believe are some of the best beaches in the world. This southern Italian […]
This month it’s all about dishes from Puglia, my beloved fatherland. A beautiful culinary rich Italian region, which I’ve been lucky enough to frequently travel to since 1980. Its regional cooking is bursting with organic Mediterranean produce from every angle. Imagine bright coloured vegetables and fruit sold at thousands of […]
This dish, baked herb crumb cod, lentils and peppers, is inspired by a Puglian recipe I came across in one of my many cookbooks. Original ‘cucina povera’ (poor mans) recipes are unbelievably beautiful but can also demand spending a lot of time in the kitchen. The world we live in […]
It’s the middle of January and its pretty bleak out there. Its cold, grey and miserable. The dream would be to be able to roll up in my duvet and get on with everyday life, haha. So, I needed to bring a little sunshine in my life and this gorgeous […]
This dish couldn’t be more ‘Pugliese’ in my eyes. This recipe features the best local ingredients the region has to offer. Vegetables are super important in Puglian cooking and featured as the main ingredient in many recipes. You can’t walk or drive down any street without seeing a vegetable stall, […]
To all pescatarians and fish lovers, I have a recipe here for you. My TTI Italian fish seafood recipe is a dish filled with warming flavours, giving your soul a real big hug with every spoonful. This recipe is inspired by the ‘Ciuppin‘ the infamous Ligurian fish soup that I enjoyed […]
Spring is practically knocking on our doors here in London and entering into my kitchen. I’ve been away the last couple of weeks with work and while I am lucky to eat out at some lovely restaurants, after a few days I do start to crave home cooking and my […]
Every summer, for 37 years I have spent at least a week on holiday in Puglia to visit family. The older I’m getting, the more appreciative I am of the cooking, ingredients and recipes that I come across. I always try to taste something new on every visit to broaden […]
Recipe: Cod Mussels Chickpea Stew Its the beginning of a new year and and I may be feeling a little chubbier due to over indulging during the Christmas festivities. January is always that month when people start their new years resolutions. There is always chat of dry January and this […]
Summer is nearly over in the UK, but I can’t help and hold on to a little glimmer of hope that the sun and warmth will come back, even if it’s just for a few more days. To keep the belief that summer may return, I’ve been trying to inject […]
There is a six week countdown until both of my best friends get married. Literally a week apart from each other. I’ll be flying to Puglia for 5 days for Valentina’s ‘Matrimonio’ with Leo. Then I’ll be flying back to the UK for Marie’ & Steve’s wedding in West Wales. […]
The British summer appears to have officially arrived. It’s my favourite season. All I want to do is spend my days sitting in the sun, absorb some vitamin D, attend as many BBQs as possible and enjoy life to the max with my friends. So, when I’m on my commute […]
I love researching for new Italian recipes that I can cook for family, friends or the boy. I’m fascinated with the regional diversity within Italian cooking and love to get nerdy about the various ingredients used across the country; from northern mountainous Piedmont to southern sunny Puglia . I […]
I always gets culinary inspired by meals and dishes experienced on my holidays. I love making a note of flavour combinations that bowl me over or send me delirious-happy-crazy. My recent trip to Venice was no exception and one of my most memorable dishes was a delicate antipasti starter – […]
Lemons, lemons, lemons… Citrus fruits have been popular ingredients in the cooking world in recent times. Articles and a number of cookbooks have been written on the subject with a couple of amazing titles publishing this year even. I have always liked to add a squeeze of lemon juice […]
