​In our house, Christmas lunch is not just a meal... it is a marathon of love! We don’t do small portions here. We do passion. From the antipasti to the pasta, the roasts, and the desserts—every single dish tells a story of tradition.
​We have been cooking for days to prepare for this moment, and seeing the table full makes it all worth it.

​This is our labour of love. Now, it is time to eat!

This is the kind of dish Italians grow up with! Pasta e Patate is pure comfort from Naples, simple ingredients, one pot, and BIG flavour.

The potatoes melt into the pasta, the starch creates a creamy sauce (no cream!), and every bite feels like a warm hug. It’s humble, filling, and honestly… impossible not to love.

If you’re craving a cozy, budget-friendly Italian dish that tastes like home, you need to try this one.

This is what pistachio panettone looks like in Sicily! Soft, rich, filled to the core… and absolutely not the supermarket version. This is why Italians are so passionate about panettone. When it’s made properly, it’s not just dessert... it’s an experience!

Ah, the tortellino... a tiny pasta filled with mystery, pride, and just a little rivalry! Its origin? Still a battle between Modena, Bologna, and Castelfranco Emilia, each claiming it was born in their kitchens. Ask a Modenese, and they’ll swear it’s theirs. Ask a Bolognese, and you’ll hear the exact same thing! But one thing everyone agrees on: the tortellino was born in Emilia, crafted with love, filled with rich meats, and sealed with tradition ❤️ Just don’t confuse it with the cappelletto from Romagna... it’s bigger, cheesier, and a whole different story! 🇮🇹

100% Italian approved! I have never eaten pasta with fork and spoon and it's not the way I was tought to eat it but... Yes, you CAN eat pasta with a fork and spoon, that’s how my nonno and his generation did it! There’s nothing wrong with it... I find it classy, elegant, and beautiful!

There are some dishes that don’t need explaining…They just take you straight back to the table! PASTA ALLE VONGOLE is one of those. I grew up eating this on simple family lunches, when the pasta was hot, the wine was cold, and nobody was in a rush to leave.

Just clams, garlic, parsley, lemon, extra virgin olive oil... nothing fancy. But when you cook it the Italian way, the sauce turns naturally creamy and every bite tastes like the sea ❤️ This is my all-time favourite pasta. I could honestly eat it every single day!

If you want to make it exactly how we do in Italy, I’ll show you step by step 👇

I didn’t expect THIS from a supermarket pandoro 👀

This Woolworths pandoro is made in Italy, super moist, packed with vanilla flavour… and only $20.

Is it the best? No. But for the price? It honestly surprised me.

Because not all pandoro are worth your money... and you deserve to know the difference. Want to learn how to choose a GOOD one before you buy?
