Biscotti Di Vini Cannella
Posted on February 15, 2012 by Andrew in RecipesBiscotti Di Vini Cannella, sounds so much more sophisticated than simply cinnamon flavoured wine biscuits! This recipe hails from the Barberani Winery down Orvieto-way (via a post on Wine Trail Traveler site). Not being a huge fan of...

Sticky Pancetta Scallops
Posted on January 24, 2012 by Andrew in RecipesThe recipe states to wrap each scallop in pancetta; half a rasher per scallop. Bugger to that for these sustainable scallops are tiny. I decide to line up five or six across the pancetta and roll them up that way...

Baked Eggs With Black Garlic
Posted on November 4, 2011 by Andrew in RecipesA little sceptical over the newly available black garlic? Me too if I am honest. I’ve dished out a few of the individual cloves to a few people. Most didn’t even try it. Claiming an aversion to garlic breath…...
