My grandmother used to say: “Never make gnocchi when your heart is sad — they’ll sink and never come to the boil.”

Pasta is a philosophy (not a technique) . And that cannot be taught online, or found in a recipe book.

It’s a story of time and place — one that has the power to make you feel like you belong somewhere.

You have to come here. To my small mountain village in the Italian Apennines. To see it, feel it, and understand it for yourself.

This is not a pasta class.

This is learning how to be Italian — and how to carry that into your kitchen - either professional or at home - when you go home, if you want to even go home 😂.

Join me in Bedonia. Small groups. Intimate. We study this together — in the kitchen, with local producers, and some very good wine along the way.

✦ 6 places remaining — November 2026

A bit of this a that … 🍅

In season and 0km - Beans Beans and More Beans

What to do with an over supply of in season veggies.

…

Blanch the beans in hot water and then fill the jars.

Make the brine solution
500g white wine vinegar
500g water
100g sugar
10g salt
Peppercorns
Herbs (mint, bayleaf, basil, fennel,) you decide.

Heat the brine and pour over the beans to fill the jar completely. Seal the jars immediately and turn upside down on the beach for 25 hours
(The heat from the liquid will cause a “vuoto” meaning the jars will last at least 2 months

In the morning check that your jars have sealed by pressing on the lids, there should be no air.

Put the jars in your pantry for 2 weeks before tasting for a better flavour. Any jars that havent sealed you can keep in the fridge for up to 1 month

Didn’t get to the pancakes, or the fritters 😂 , but made the syrup which pairs perfectly for a Hugo Spritz this Friday!

Elder Flower in Season in the Mountains now! This beautiful bloom really gets me excited.

With the syrup we made a Hugo Spritz
To make the elder flower syrup
650g sugar
400g water

Bring this to the boil
Pour into a large glass jar. Once it is cool, add 1 lemon sliced and 15 heads of elderflowers that have ben washed well. Let thus steep for 48hours at room temp.

Strain the flowers and lemon out of the syrup and sore in a pretty bottle in the fridge for up to 3 months

To make a hugo spritz.
Fill a glass with ice. Add 150 ml of prosecco, 100ml of soda water and 60 ml of elderflower syrup. Garnish with mint and drink up!

For an alcohol free version this is just great with only sodawater or still water as a refreshing summer cordial
