This is great dish that is filled with a tonne of goodness and is so simple to make. Stufato – a Puglian summer vegetable stew, has many names and slightly different variations across the south of Italy. Ciambotta in Calabria and ciabotta in Abruzzo and many more. However, he base of […]
Aubergines are one of my favourite vegetables, hands down! As a kid, I remember not wanting to have anything to do with them. I was such a fussy child. I had no interest in eating some weird dark fallic looking vegetable. But boy, how things have changed! I suppose my palette developed […]
Vegetables are at the heart of southern Italian cooking. Every summer in Puglia, I walk past the many local traders on my daily walk to the beach, who sell fresh vegetables out the back of their fiat panda or on the side of the road on a fold out table. […]

By far, one of my favourite Italian home cooked dishes is aubergine parmigiana or parmigiana alla melanzane (in Italian). I have been asked on so many occasions for my recipe. I apologise for taking so long in sharing it with you. A typical dish found in the southern hemisphere of […]
Poached eggs with artichokes and peas. I love brunch. Its one of my favourite meals especially on the weekend when I have the luxury of time. It’s one of those meals that I like to eat out but sometimes when I’m not feeling lazy I love to rustle something up […]
Spaghetti al Limone One of the things that I love the most about Italian food is that with just a handful of ingredients you can transform them into a dish that is unforgettably delicious. Its about understanding the balance of flavours, ensure that each ingredient complements each other, and not […]
Instagram and other social media platforms have had a lot to answer too when it comes to the foods that some of us eat. Aesthetically pleasing looking dishes may at times be the main reason why we cook or eat certain foods. Just so they look pretty on our feeds. […]
