Making agnolotti del plin yesterday; little parcels of pasta with a filling of pork sausage with fennel, spinach, Parmesan cheese. We ate them with melted butter and a bit more Parmesan

Portokalopita - orange pie with filo and syrup - with a side of Greek yoghurt; I was lucky enough to sample one of the dishes from the new cookbook “Ikaria” by @meni.valle at Meni’s home a few days ago. The dessert was ridiculously good, I could have easily eaten a second (or third) slice. I am so looking forward to getting my hands on Meni’s book, about food and life on the island of Ikaria (one of the Blue Zones) which is being released in a couple of months by @hardiegrantbooks

Lunch time pasta - I have picked up sfoglia practice where I left it off last month. Quite happy with the fettuccine which at least were even in thickness. Now to learn to make the sfoglia a bit thinner (or maybe just be more patient!). The sauce was made with excellent Mediterranean lamb sausages made by Matt, my local butcher - I cut these into chunks and cooked them at medium high heat with a splash of olive oil then some white wine. I later added half a tin of peeled Roma tomatoes and let the sauce bubble away on low heat until the meat was cooked through and the tomatoes reduced (and yes there was enough there for two meals)

A shoutout to my friends at @tcavallarosons for supplying cakes to the Italians (and non-Italians) of Melbourne since the 1950s from their little shop in Footscray using family recipes from the family’s pasticceria on the island of Lipari off the coast of Sicily. Their cannoli are especially good. My friend @tamara.vini brought them over for a special lunch last weekend
