Back home after a long Italian holiday full of deliciousness and carbs!
I think I ate my body weight in agnolotti and little patisserie. Just to say, this morning I was not brave enough to check my weight!!!
For lunch today a salmon poke bowls that was a powerhouse of nutrients! Packed with Omega-3 fatty acids for heart health, protein for muscle repair, and a rainbow of veggies for vitamins and minerals.
Thanks to for the inspiration and look forward to see you in your new restaurant in Tunbridge Wells.

4 months since I was dragged to the hell…It’s been a long recovery but finally is over and I’m excited to embrace new opportunities, make memories, and achieve goals.
Let’s try to make the most of every moment without expectations. 💪 ”

3 months today since I was dragged to the hell. There is no regrets…because it was no other choice…but I have to remind my self often that I can be again the woman I was. Thanks to who was on my side…and held me.
Some days are still tough, and some days if I’m not caring enough for my self the pain can be uncomfortable. But I want to believe that everything will be fine.

In a rainy day like today…a hearty comfort food is what I need. Lentils and chicken casserole with cous cous and lots of veggie.
So tasty! If you fancy the recipe put a like!!

Despite I was not 💯 thanks to my post op…Paris was magical as always.
We had 3 wonderful days…full of love, food and unforgettable moments.
A huge thank you to our lovely friends Emma and Tuck to make it even better!

04/11/2023

Another day, another breakfast!!
Slow awakening this morning.
The rain encouraged us to have some extra cuddles and was just the perfect start.
For this morning meal I took inspiration from the .sussex cafe menu…sourdough, pesto, grilled tomatoes and pouched egg.
Simple and delicious!
And now… waiting that the rain will stop for an healthy walk with hubby and Harry the Bernese.
Have a lovely weekend.

It's been a very long two months.
My hysterectomy overwhelmed me, reducing me to a shadow of myself. Slowed down in doing even the little things, and taking away the joy even in those small gestures that were taken for granted, like preparing breakfast! which is my favorite meal.

Now!…I'm slowly returning to normality, after three operations and a lot of discomfort, which I tried to keep to myself, I look at everything I'm anxious and happy to do! my breakfast for example! toasted muffin with hummus, sun dried tomatoes and pouched egg.
Paris with beloved friends in a week and most important…new house in a month.
The kitchen in the new house is just amazing…so stay tuned!

Even if it seems like an autumn day outside, for breakfast I brought a little more summer to the table with this French toast with apricots, figs, cardamom and yoghurt. In this particular period ... where certainties have become uncertainties ... a bit of summer heat, gives me hope that the sun will shine again!
Apricot,figs and cardamom sourdough with poached apricot, Greek yogurt, honey and nuts.
Super healthy and balanced breakfast to start.

Ci sono giorni pieni di vento e pieni di rabbia, ci sono giorni pieni di pioggia, pieni di lacrime e pieni di dolore.
Ma poi ci sono giorni pieni di amore, che ci danno il coraggio di andare avanti per tutti gli altri giorni.

Monica Bellucci è invecchiata senza chiedere il permesso a nessuno, scatenando una tempesta e indignazione tra i focosi combattenti anti-
invecchiamento. Combattenti, per l'esattezza.
Ha osato camminare sul tappeto rosso, il suo bel viso e corpo con tutte le rughe, gli occhi e l'eccesso di peso, con tutto ciò che la natura le ha dato, senza esitazione e completamente disinteressata all'opinione dei sostenitori della gioventù infinita. E questo è fantastico. Perché qualcuno deve finalmente dire al mondo che invecchiare non è affatto una vergogna.

09/07/2023

Definitely a place for food lover.
But it’s the perfect place for a romantic escape too. So magical.

Alle volte mi piacerebbe avere la stessa serenità di quando a 8 anni il mio più grosso problema era scegliere il gusto della torta!!!
Ai biscotti ci pensa la mia bimba…

What to eat with this lovely warm temperature?
Vegan stracciatella from with local farm tomatoes and herb from my garden.
Have a lovely Sunday everyone!

06/06/2023

What a find!!!
In the last few months…despite I love cheeses, I try to avoid them due some health issues.
I just bought from the vegan stracciatella made by . It tasted amazing, my lunch today was a avocado and straccia on toast with some sun dried tomato.
A light bite to make my work out not too tough!
If you fancy a vegans outstanding cheeses…give it a try!!! I was not gifted so this is a proper honest suggestion.

I’m not eating red meat often…but when I do, I like to have something special!
My motto is still “simple is better” and this tartare has only few ingredients. Fillet, extra virgin olive oil,garlic, salt, pepper, Parmesan and mushrooms carpaccio.
It was so tasty…i know raw meat is not for everyone…but who loves it…can understand the pleasure!!

18/05/2023

Pasta cravings? 4 ingredients…easy and super tasty! I cooked this pasta dish dreaming my holidays! I will go to Sardinia and the Malloreddus are a typical Sardinian’s pasta shape.
So :
1 Malloreddus
2 Mascarpone
3 smoked salmon
4 dill.
I cooked the pasta as it was a risotto, so it’s more creamy and tasty. Add the mascarpone and the shredded salmon at the end, when the pasta is cooked.
Dill sprinkle and enjoy!!
Hubby said 10/10, considering that he is very fussy…it’s a good grade! 😂😂

16/05/2023

one of things I learnt while cooking is that you start to eat first with your eyes…then with your nose and just at the end with your mouth. So I always love put attention on details and serve a simple food like roasted potatoes and Asparagus with a good presentation. It was delicious, but I really started enjoying my meal only looking at it! Anyway…love asparagus season and the English ones are so good!

❤️

Who love figs? I personally love them so much! Despite the temperature is not so warm…I’ve decided to put the summer in my plate for lunch with these amazing figs, parma ham and mozzarella. Pistachio dust on top with few drops of olive oil and I thought I’ve touched the heaven for a second!!!

13/05/2023

Will be a long day today…lots of food preparations and then Eurovision party. So let’s start with something healthy and tasty.
After my 2 day cleanse with I’m feeling great and I don’t want to lose good I reached! If you haven’t tried yet I strongly suggest you to give it a try. It was tough for a food lover like me, but it worth it!!

28/04/2023

Butter beans hummus, poached egg and kimchi…followed by miso glazed aubergine, spelt, pomegranate and crumble feta.
Happy Friday!
Dinner will be very interesting! Stay tuned

This simple and yummy recipe is one of my favourite since I have memories.
In Italy is popular doing it with veal, but here the Veal is not the easiest meat to find…
So I cooked a Top rump for 18 hours with the sous vide… I then sliced it thinly and made the salsa tonnata (it is Mayo with capers, anchovies and Tuna).
Dish it up with herb green salad and garnished with black pepper.
Perfect as a starter or light lunch and definitely a good alternative to a Cesar salad for the meat lover ❤️

15/04/2023

Simple things in life are always the best…
Simple things to eat are always the best…
Herb salad,Sicilian caponata, ricotta and pecan.
Simple like that!!

I admit that these days I'm thinking about giving up, organizing my events is stressful, and takes up a lot of time. Last Saturday I had the pleasure of organizing a private catering for customers who have followed me since I had the restaurant and who have been loyal over the years, participating at my various pop-ups. Unfortunately in this period I am not very comfortable with my self, so I have nothing planned soon.
I hope to find enthusiasm again, because after such a thank you ... I feel I did really well!
So thanks a million to my lovely customers…and we will see you again at some point.
Lots of love. Stefania ❤️❤️

And after a very long day…
The only thing I could eat for dinner was a hearty Cacio e Pepe.
Fresh tonnarelli from with an amazing and well aged pecorino cheese and cracked pepper. So basically this amazing recipe has just 3 ingredients!!!

11/03/2023

Graham and I were unsure about this pairing…but I have to say that it was exceptionally delicious!!!
Spaghetti with vongole and chilly paired with the Wild White from .
Awwww…i love this kind of Saturday night!

10/03/2023

Ok so not only breakfast! 😂
Gut friendly recipe that was enjoyable for the whole family.
Parsnip purée with sautéed kale and braised chicken thighs.
Some pomegranate seeds and I can say it was delicious!
Pan fry the chicken thighs till golden and crispy, then add a couple of diced shallot a glass of white wine and cook a medium heat for 45/60 minutes.

Cook the parsnip with a little water, chopped garlic and salt for about 30 minutes and then mash it till smooth and creamy

In a no sticky pan, sauté the kale with garlic, chilly and salt
Try it…tag me and let me know if you like it!
