Seasonal Italian – Inverno/Winter

ccs — Sat, 12 Nov 2016 17:15:19 +0000

The essence of Italian cooking is seasonality and local produce. Rarely is the allure of Italy stronger than in late winter when summer seems so far away. For a promise of warmer climes and aromatic food, our winter Italian kicks off with a herb and tomato Focaccia, followed by freshly made Tagliatelle and a creamy Porcini sauce. We then move on to a dish which has become a firm family favourite with previous guests, our crunchy herb crusted, organic chicken thighs and a winter salad of bitter leaves, anchovies and capers. We finish off with a delicousley fragrant Pear, Almond and Lemon torta.

As always, welcome coffee/tea and cake, lunch with wine and full recipe packs are included.
