Casarecce — means "homemade" in Italian — is a traditional pasta shape originating from Sicily. It’s loosely rolled into an 'S' shape, creating a groove perfect for catching hearty sauces, ragùs, and creamy mixtures. Its curled edges and slight twist make it ideal for dishes like this one, where you want every bite to hold onto the sauce.

 

 

There are few things more comforting than a shepherd’s pie. It’s one of those dishes that has stood the test of time – hearty, homely and properly satisfying. Build it from scratch, layering up mince, vegetables and plenty of flavour before crowning it with mash that goes golden and crisp in the oven.

 

 

The ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender after hours of braising, soaking up every note of garlic, ginger, and orange zest. Served over a bed of steaming rice and topped with a refreshing nashi pear salad, it’s a warm, aromatic meal that feels both indulgent and soulful.

 

 

Cooking osso buco is an art that requires patience, precision, and a love for hearty flavours. This traditional Italian dish showcases the beauty of slow-cooking and the richness of simple, yet carefully selected ingredients.

 

 

A classic that always hits the mark, this dish is comforting and delicious. Hard to pinpoint the best time of day to serve? It goes well for a lunch with a crisp salad and perhaps a glass of beer or stout. It is great served smaller for a pre-dinner canapé or perfect for a Sunday night supper.
