Smoked Balsamic & Anchovy Vinaigrette
Minced anchovy whisked with smoked Crema di Balsamico, Dijon and olive oil. Savory depth with a sweet, smoky finish.
Pasta Salad
Busiate with cherry tomatoes, artichokes, olives, salami and provolone. Better after a night in the fridge, which makes it ideal for a crowd.
Fish Marinade
Olive oil, Condimento Blanco, lemon and paprika with whatever fresh herbs you have to hand. Made for white fish and salmon.
Balsamic Blueberry Sauce
Blueberries cooked down with cinnamon, vanilla and lemon zest, then finished off the heat with Gold Label balsamic. Good on everything from gelato to French toast.
Espagnole
One of the five French mother sauces: a brown roux built out with mirepoix, tomato paste, red wine and veal stock. The base for demi-glace.
Anchovy Oil
Three anchovy fillets melted into good olive oil and tossed through pasta with Parmigiano. A five minute primo built almost entirely from the pantry.
Fresh Pasta
Two ingredients, "00" flour and eggs, kneaded until smooth and rested. The foundation for every cut and filled pasta on this site.
20 Hour Braised Chuck Roast, Sauce and Pappardelle
Chuck roast braised for twenty hours until it falls apart, folded through tomato sauce and served over pappardelle. Long on time, short on effort.
Sauce Bolognese
Ground beef cooked down slowly with soffritto and wine over at least two and a half hours. Better still if you make it the day before.
