Italian food blog – an Anglo Italian sharing how to live the Italian lifestyle in London; recipes, restaurants, travel & all other things Italian.
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 […]
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 […]
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 – […]
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 […]
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 […]
Having a full time job, means having to work the odd late night as I’m sure many of you can sympathise with. It can be so tempted to pay a visit to the local take out or buy a supermarket pizza on the way home. Easy! But, I always end up […]
The final edition to Italian pie week in the TTI kitchen, is this gorgeous cod and mushroom pie. Inspired by a recipe found in the classic Silver Spoon cookbook, it has flavours nodding to seasonal Autumn/winter ingredients. I even had the time to make the shortcrust pastry by scratch but […]
During the last couple of weeks I have been cooking and eating everything I desire, not giving calories a second thought. However, the problem with being half Italian, is that I may have the Italian mamma gene and need to be careful not to over indulge incase I end up being […]
Venetian Fish stew While on my Pescatarian adventures, there were nights when it was so cold that all I wanted was something warming and comforting. It would have been so easy to prepare myself a steaming bowl of carbs and stodge to do the trick. So I challenged myself the […]
Pasta peas sea bream & artichokes As mentioned in my last blog post, I have given myself the challenge to eat a Pescatarian diet for a while. The idea is to have a diet while eating as little pasta as possible. However, I caved in on a few occasions but […]
