Tasty morsels

How could I have chosen such a hot evening to make and film our next video? You’ll see it very soon – I’m standing at the cooker stirring and stirring….. Lost in thought, it reminded me of one particular Sunday lunch at La Scogliera near Arese. We had booked our usual table and were surprised to see a wedding party arriving for the reception and subsequent party. Intrigued, I asked Pietro about their menu – he was delighted to explain it to me all in Italian of course, then proceeded to bring us a taster (well, a morsel really) of each course they had chosen…all 12 of them. It was such an experience and so delicious, but the one that has stuck in my memory ever since was the risotto. It was simply champagne risotto. How romantic is that? Now maybe you’ve worked out what I was stirring on that hot, sticky evening x
