What a stunning day at @villa_floretti_flowers yesterday for our food and flowers workshop. Richelle Marks has a stunning protea farm on the Mornington Peninsula and it was a perfect place to make pasta and crostata, sip rosè and make bunches of flowers. A huge thank you to Richelle for opening her home to us, to dear Monica @sumisuraitaly for being a wonderful help in the kitchen and to Annette for running the flower posey making part of the day. Thank you to all the lovely ladies who came along and made pasta and crostata with me, I loved cooking with you and our chats about Italy (hope to see some of you on tour in Puglia next year!). The workshop sold out very quickly so we are looking forward to running more soon

My dear handsome papà on the left probably some time in the 1950s with his friend Bibo (a fellow Polesano) on the right. I love this photo, it looks like they are singing, the sun is shining and they are in the outdoors, loving life as “new Australians”

Muggia - the fishing village at the top of the Istrian Peninsula is a ferry ride from Trieste and very pretty, especially the old part of the town

The main course at our Adriatico lunch class yesterday - the food we made was inspired by the southern Adriatic coast. What a wonderful wonderful day it was with some very special people who proved to be great orecchiette rollers (as well as good mussel-stuffers and pastry makers)

Intorchiate Pugliesi - little ropes of dough twisted into shape with almonds inserted into the folds. I made them with fading light last night so this what they looked like before baking. I will make them again soon and post the recipe but will be having them with my coffee while I do the final prep for today’s cooking class, which is a lunch inspired by the recipes in Adriatico. Buona domenica!

IL MERCATO - I so look forward to Saturday mornings at the market, especially in spring when there is asparagus, zucchini flowers and broad beans. I am teaching all weekend so for now I will have to look back at the market I visited 5 months ago at Porta Palazzo in Torino. Sound on to hear Italian voices
