As summer draws firmly to an end, I thought I’d share a snippet from my holiday with friends in Italy and a couple of recipes. We spent a luscious week in the rolling hills of tuscany which really is a food lovers dream! What’s particularly amazing is the quality of the raw ingredients…the juicy tomatoes, creamy mozzarella and thick cut meats…mmm! It means you can do very simple things a these ingredients really do all the hard work for you!
