Italian cuisine so often references old times; I love simple food and forgotten tales, too, but I also feel the need to escape this tradition. We opened our restaurant, Trattoria della Gloria, in Milan in 2023, and instinctively refused to spend every night selling a remote and often fictional past. Instead, we explore and experiment …
I won’t pretend that these are the height of Italian fashion, but style is eternal – as is the childish joy of a bright yellow frozen lemon. You could, of course, buy in lemon sorbet instead, and use the flesh from the lemon shells for cocktails or lemonade (and/or freeze the juice for future use), …
Would you like Italian tonight, or Indian? Thanks to this pizza, you can have both. This recipe is written in memory of the beloved pizza of my youth: a vegetarian delight that I ate on the regular with my cousins at one of the many Indian-Italian restaurants on Leicester’s Belgrave Road (AKA the Golden Mile) …
I’ve been eating pickles made from different vegetables in various ways since I was little. Every meal included some kind of pickle on our table. I grew up in Japan and pickles were also included in bento boxes, whether it was homemade, an Ekiben from the station, or a convenience-store bento. If there aren’t any …

That is, until these meatball Parm skewers entered the scene. I’m turning the satisfying sandwich bite-sized with homemade meatballs, marinara, melty mozzarella, and fresh basil all in …
It’s no secret—ever since we created our viral creamy Tuscan chicken, we’ve been obsessed with Tuscan-inspired recipes. From saucy Tuscan butter shrimp, to Tuscan chicken pasta, to Tuscan butter gnocchi, this sauce is a staple in many of our most-popular weeknight dinner recipes. This time, we’re doubling down on the comfort by giving meatballs and …

Enter our lasagna-stuffed zucchini. By taking everything you love about lasagna—seasoned beef, marinara sauce, and layers of mozzarella and ricotta cheese—and swapping out the pasta …
Italians know what they’re doing when it comes to sweet things, and they’re not shy about enjoying them for breakfast, either; that said, only in Sicily do I feel comfortable having brioche and granita first thing in the morning, mainly because no one there bats an eyelid. This crostata – a buttery, crumbly pastry filled …
When I was writing a book about pasta, an acquaintance from Naples who lives in Chișinău, Moldova, with his Welsh wife suggested that the first step with lasagne is to approach it like a town planner. That is, first work out the size of the dish in relation to the size of the pasta sheets …
