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. […]
Walking down a quiet Victorian terraced street in Queens Park, North-West London, I approach one of my new favourite Italian resturants in the city, the wonderful Ida. With a bright sage coloured exterior and white netted windows, you step into one of the most homely and cosiest resturants […]
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 didn’t always cook or was interested to do so. It wasn’t till I had to fend for myself at university, that I knew what to do with a wooden spoon and a sauce pan. One of the first Italian recipes I taught myself was a sausage ragu that 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 – […]
My first visit to Venice was not a happy one if I remember correctly. I was 9 years old and according to my parents I moped about the whole time we were there. I thought we would be sailing on boats all day rather than walking around as we […]
Mercato Metropolitano (MM), a 45,000 square ft food market in Southwark, London (between Elephant and Castle and Borough) opened mid last year and has become one of my favourite places to hang out and eat in the city. London has many fun street food markets but MM is unique. One of the […]
Last weekend, a dream of mine came true. I finally went and spent a weekend eating gorgeous food in the culinary capital of Italy, BOLOGNA, in the northern Italian region of Emilia-Romagna. It was a very last minute decision, as the boy wanted to go and see a Trash talk gig. Friends of his in […]
The final dish in chicken week, is a HUNTERS CHICKEN STEW – Pollo Cacciatore in Italian. There are many versions across the different Italian regions so I came up with my own Tiny Italian version but keeping true to its traditional roots, chicken and vegetables in a stew.
Love to add a pasta dish to my TTI food weeks, and this week is no exception. When it comes to meatballs or meat dumplings, pork and beef are usually the popular meat of choice. So, I thought it would be fun to cook a recipe where chicken is the key […]
This week, I decided that chicken will be at the centre of my food universe. Sometimes overlooked by other meat options, I wanted to cook recipes which give this clucky meat, a new edge. Here is a recipe inspired by Piedmontese cooking. These chicken ricotta croquettes are great as a finger food option […]
The Tiny Italian Meat Week has sadly come to an end but ending it with an absolute banger. Ending the week with a traditional Roman dish. Veal saltimbocca all romana. Pan-fried escalopes flavoured with earthy sage leaves and salty parma ham. This is real treat and the recipe is so simple that […]
It’s all about the MEAT in the Tiny Italian kitchen this week in support of national butchers week. Meatballs are one of those foods that are automatically associated with Italian cuisine. Usually served with spaghetti in many anglo-italian restaurants. My recipe for Spaghetti meatballs was one of my first ever posts on […]
So, the boys dream came true this week. I dedicated all my recipes to MEAT. Being national butchers week, I thought it would be a great idea to cook classical Italian meat dishes using different cuts and cooking styles. First recipe up this week, is probably one of the most popular […]
It’s come to the end of sausage week. To end my homage to the Italian banger, I decided to cook up a super easy dish, while ensuring not to skimp on flavours of course. Luganega sausage, is a long and thin and usually sold as a coil. It’s a mild flavoured sausage which […]
