Damson and grappa ice cream. Fresh out the machine and when the damsons were reaching their sweetest a few weeks back. Another @lagrottaices recipe that captures the best of the fruit.
Linguine, zucchini, egg and pecorino. It now feels right to go back to the more porky coming together of egg and cheese with pasta but this @rachelaliceroddy recipe has been a summer staple. The courgettes melting seamlessly into the sauce and becoming one with the pasta strands. Recipe in #fivequartersrecipesandnotesfromakitcheninrome
Fig and almond tart, goat yogurt and fichi caramellati gelato. Figs from the last post making an appearance in this tangy gelato. Tart needed to be cooked a bit more dangerously.
Fichi caramellati in Averna. One of my favourite ice cream flavours is ricotta and caramelized figs. Thought I'd try to recreate using one of my favourite amari. Primo passo: figs cooked down for a few hours with @averna and water until syrupy and giving.
Last of the summer salads: Zucchini alla Scapece. Using the last of the bountiful Geodes from the garden. I'll miss frying courgettes in copious amounts of good oil. @rachelaliceroddy recipe obvs.
Last of the summer salads: aubergine, black garlic yogurt and sea purslane. Not the most photogenic dish I've ever made but some serious flavours. This is a twist on a @ottolenghi 'Plenty More' recipe. Made with homegrown aubergines too - thanks to @hessianandfoe for the plant at the start of summer.
