A lovely few days in Camogli, Italy reminded us how simple food is best. Bruscetta brushed with olive oil, with the freshest and most delicate Anchovies I’ve ever had.

Ah how wise Princess Lottie and Wayne were to invite Darcy and Lee to ‘Piglet’ in Narbonne France. Not only could they enjoy their company, but also his obvious culinary talents. He made them a succulent Seafood pasta and they snapped the process like the happy foodbloggers that they are…
I’m tired. And I work too hard. But when I found these pics from an old trip to Italy, I got intensely nostalgic for a plate of hot fresh salty calamari and scampi. Washed down with a glass of crispy white wine, I know no better holiday meal. Oh transport me to the Italian Riviera now!
Another weekend another dinner party. While Princess Lottie whirred and purred away on her fabulous KitchenAid mixer to turn out her marshmallow white chocolate rocky road cupcakes. I decided it was time to tackle one of our favourite curry dishes again.
This week it’s Princess Lottie’s uglier half giving you a taste of what it was like to grow up in Mama Hue’s kitchen. Strong aromas (!), fresh ingredients, and flavours that packed a whole lot of punch: that was Mama’s trademark. And the in-laws certainly approved on Saturday when we cooked up this Vietnamese inspired feast. Credit also goes to Mr Ramsey’s Chinese five-spiced pork for leaving the in-laws thoroughly fed and ready to burst, but it was really Princess Lottie’s chocolate delight in a box that made us roll them out of here…
PS: if you want to taste Mama’s home recipes, just give us a shout. I’m sure she’ll be on the first plane over here!
