This is an Italian stew made from spring vegetables including artichokes, broad beans, peas.

Here is the simplest way to enjoy the flavour combination of asparagus and Parma ham – side-by-side.

A great flavour combination and presented here as a main meal salad or antipasto.

This is a standard Soho trattatoria fare of the 70’s. Bresaola, rocket and Parmesan is still popular so the avocado element seems to have fallen out of favour. Put it back in – it’s a good combo!

‘Risotto is my favourite dish, ever.’

This is part of a series of really easy dishes – this one only take as long as the pasta does to cook. They’re perfect for a quick supper after work or lunch or tea with the kids.

This is one of the best things I have made. A moment of serendipity, just when you can’t imagine what to cook, something rather good comes out of nowhere…

Inspired by the ricotta tarts made in Naples at Easter.

I made eight flavours of biscotti as Christmas gifts. A bit mad, but lots of fun. The photo shows the hazelnut, orange and chocolate, and chocolate and chocolate flavour – the rest were eaten!

A simple 30 minute Italian Classic.

I was blown away by a nduja pizza I had in London. So naturally, I bought some the next time I was in my Italian deli…

This is one of the best ways to enjoy artichokes. I got these artichokes from Kingston Market – they’re fresh in from Italy.
