‘This is my favourite dish’ says the boy I like, while he finishes his second plate of pasta. This sausage ragu is a great boy pasta dish or those who love a traditionally meaty sauce. If you want to try & impress someone & not slave over the kitchen stove for […]
The nights are getting colder and the days are getting shorter. I’m already getting tempted to hibernate under my leopard print blanket until spring next year. However, sometimes I like to take myself back to that summer feeling spent on holiday in Italy, by cooking dishes that remind me of […]
Earlier on this year, the boy rang me while at work. ‘I think I’ve met someone who loves Italian food as much as you do; he lives in south London and he also does supper clubs. I told him you would give him call and arrange to meet him’. I […]
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 […]
“It feels like I’m eating in Italy….somewhere along the riviera. Who would have thought we would be eating like this in Fulham” says my friend Tally, who came on a dinner date with me at Meridionale. Opened just under a year ago, Neapolitan owner Enzo was really passionate about sharing the […]

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 […]
