The Tiny Italian - Believe in your sauce

'Cooking Changed My Life. It Can Change Yours'.

The Tiny Italian

Believe In Your Own Sauce

Paola Maggiulli, ‘The Tiny Italian’, is a food expert, cook, writer, and presenter. She has a mission: to create sexy, healthy, delicious Mediterranean food, whilst showing the stress-free, fun, and social side of cooking, and teaching others to fall in love with what they make.

It’s all about becoming the queen or king of your own kitchen. 

GET IN TOUCH WITH PAOLA

LEARN TO LOVE TO COOK

The Tiny Italian

After growing up in her Italian father’s London-based deli, Paola founded The Tiny Italian ten years ago as a food blog. Since then, she has partnered with world-leading brands, appeared on national television, and become known for her interactive cooking party experiences.

Paola says, “The most important decision we make every day is what we eat. It took me a long time to realise that my relationship with food could bring me so much happiness, connect me to my Italian / Colombian roots, and lift me out of a period of depression. It can do the same for anyone.”

Her brand is based on stripping away the pretentiousness and exclusivity that can surround the world of food. Through her cooking classes, courses and Saucy Society — a subscription-based cooking community — she offers cooking classes, store cupboard surgeries, and tips and tricks gained from a lifetime in the kitchen.

And her live cooking parties are like nothing else out there: a riotous celebration of food, music, drinks, and dancing, all while teaching her audience to cook the Italian classics and, in her own words, to “believe in your own sauce.” They quickly became a lockdown sensation.  

Paola is available for presenting, commentary, recipe development, consultancy, events, and brand partnerships.

Have you ever cooked with CRAB? I’m excited that this week I have partnered up with @garofalopastauk and created a super easy, super sexy pasta recipe using this fabulous seasonal ingredient.
CRAB SPINACH + LEMON CRUMB SPAGHETTI.

Crab is one of those ingredients that can feel a little overwhelming to cook with as it can feel quite BOUJEE but the reality is, most large supermarkets stock crab meat in their fresh fish section. Plus you don’t have to do any of the time consuming prep as it’s already cooked and dressed. Therefore all you have to do is decide what you want to enjoy it with. EASY RIGHT??!

If you would like to cook with crab, why not try my new recipe along with @garofalopastauk SPAGHETTI ALLA CHITARRA which will be revealed on Thursday.

You will need a handful of ingredients:

🦀 200g crab meat
🧄 4 garlic cloves
🌶 1 fresh red chilli
🍃 125g baby spinach
🍞 2 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
🍋 1 lemon
🍝 250g spaghetti alla chitarra @garofalopastauk (order from @ocadouk or @amazonuk)
🍶Olive oil
🧂Sea salt
🧂Black pepper. 

Let me know if this has inspired them to cook with crab. 

And remember’cook food that makes you feel good’💃🏻
