We have made homemade gnocchi twice recently. The first time we were left to our own devices, the whole process took about two hours and the gnocchi that resulted – while gratefully gobbled by hungry feasters – was a little floury and dense. The second time we made it with Guida, our Italian neighbour, professional [...]

Cathy came up with a delicious tart which uses our Nudo sapa. It will also work with a good balsamic, if you can’t get hold of any. Ingredients for 4 Onions – 800g Butter – 50g Olive oil – 2 tablespoons Sapa – 10ml Puff pastry – 200g Parmesan – 60g Thyme – couple of sprigs [...]

This is a super easy recipe you can whip up in 30 minutes, start to finish. The combination of black olive and orange is a classic, and here we’ve used mandarin instead, which, combined with the delicate flavour of the sole, seems to work very well.

I’ve always loved the idea of living near water – the sea, a river, a lake, a stream, it doesn’t really matter – there is just something so soothing and reflective about a trickle or a gloop or a slosh. It’s one of those things hard to replicate in a flat in the city, short [...]

This is a classic dish from Marche, the part of Italy which is also home to Nudo olive oil. To stand a chance of making them, you really need a very large olive like those found around Ascoli Piceno; the key is stuffing the olives plentifully before frying them. In Marche, they are pretty ubiquitous, popping up as appetizers in [...]

This is a lovely light dish for those chilly months when pumpkins of all sizes and hues start to appear on the shelves. It is actually more like a soufflé than a flan and the rich cheesy sauce completes the transformation from humble pumpkin to luxurious belle of the ball. From our friend Guida Stacchietti. [...]

If you’re after a vegetarian version of our polpette (meatballs), these are so tasty you’ll be delighted to have renounced the flesh. Italians wouldn’t traditionally have polpette with pasta, and they do also work well with some vegetables and a salad on the side. Or just in a tomato sauce with potatoes for a bit [...]
