As usual I’m taking the opportunity to thank you all for your support and giving me the necessity to push my creativity

I’ve had so many discussions about food with my guests these past 3 months and it is inspiring to see people questioning more and more what is inside the food out there.

The reality is that we cannot rely on what is out there and the messages being sold - large companies and producers don’t necessarily have our good health at heart - businesses are there to make money and provide a “service” but FOOD is not a service, it is not a commodity FOOD is life FOOD is power and FOOD is love. I love people telling me how good they felt after eating my food, even though they ate a lot they don’t feel sluggish but nourished.

There has never been a time like this in human history where we are constantly bombarded with ‘food’ or food like items I like to call them. Supermarkets everywhere, billboards, adverts, takeaway services all trying to lure us into a vicious cycle of constant consumption but ultimately the final say is in your hands. Don’t wait to be educated, educate yourself - the information is out there and there are hundreds of local producers who deserve your support, they hold great power even though everything around tries to diminish it!

A few days away from noise

It’s funny how we take the noise around us for granted, like it’s meant to be there. A constant part of our lives, but once we experience the quietness of nature away from the phone, cars, people, buildings etc… - your mind resets to its natural state - because the world we live in is not natural.

In the quietness of the Sardinian countryside, I reconnected with myself, with nature and with beautiful like minded souls, vittoria and Antonio as well as other travellers searching for something deeper - it’s amazing that I still reap the benefits of the Workaway experience of 3 years ago.

In the stillness I also had some time to appreciate the work I had done on the book and actually re read the journals in the Sardinian chapter. Gifting the book to the host family was a truly special moment!

Now back home with new ideas, a fresh mind and NEW MENU!

FIRST EVER WORKSHOP 🔥 🥖

Yesterday was a new chapter in my career, one where I shared the skills and methods I’ve learnt to make delicious sourdough bread!

I was a little nervous initially had a little clerical errors and ended up with more People there 🤣 but it all went smoothly after that and I enjoyed seeing people so interested to learn!! And people who have been following me for years now !

What completed the experience was definitely the stunning location The place where my first book was born and the place where I began my cooking journey - it made it that little more special to me and the participants!

This morning I woke up to messages and photos of participants happy with their breads, looking forward to have it with some olive oil, gbejna and broad beans - the ultimate simple and sophisticated meal!

Looking forward to the second workshop next Saturday !

Lots of love and light
