Dinner tonight, pasta e fagioli. I used fresh chilli instead of chilli flakes as I’ve got a lot of fresh chilli to use. Lovely, warming autumnal dish. Grazie @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social !

Thankyou for reminding me @clarelaverty.bsky.social

Spaghetti with tinned sardines, chilli and lemon, another joyous recipe from the wonderful @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social, was fantastically delicious and is going to be enjoyed regularly here from now on. Grazie mille Rachel

Dinner tonight : "Orzo" (or if you prefer "Risoni") with peas and chicken. Inspired by two @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social recipes - although I didn't have the complete ingredients for either and I also cheated by buying a Conad grilled chicken. A lovely, comforting and surprisingly quick dinner.

Hello 3 cheese Lucy @lucyantal.bsky.social

This weeks recipe for @guardianfeast by @helenterrapin.bsky.social - great tip re coley!

One for @dorothy-porker.com & her cascade of figs. A fig, ricotta & orange tart from @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social

Great night at the fabulous Marshwood Manor, Dorset last night with Rachel Roddy and Ilaria Padovani as they shared some regional Italian cuisine musings. The food and company was great too! @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social‬ mercatoitaliano.uk/italian-chee... www.marshwoodmanor.co.uk

This week's @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Fig, ricotta & orange tart. Gorgeous! Made mine with damsons rather than figs as we picked loads at the weekend. The pastry is delicious & the tart is very tasty. One to make again as there was none left for breakfast! www.theguardian.com/food/2025/au...

"Giuseppe’s ability to judge when a reader/cook needs general advice and when they need specific quantities is not just impressive, but inspiring." A delicious recipe and a book review from @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/food/2025/au...

Fabulous Helen x

Made @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social baked toms with rice & potatoes. Went a bit off piste with basmati not arborio (didn’t have it in the cupboard). Deliciously simple.

Eyes on the wave @lucyantal.bsky.social

This week's @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Roast summer vegetable, herb and pearl barley salad. Easy to make and perfect for this hot weather. We had it for dinner with fried halloumi. I even made orzata with the left over water (Roddy recipe rather than Apicius!). www.theguardian.com/food/2025/ju...

If you’re in Rome on 27 July @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social and I will be reprising our Film Jaunt, shade, refreshments & a gentle wander through favourite quartieri discussing Roman movies & ending with a slap up fishy lunch a là Pranzo di Ferragosto. understandingrome.substack.com/p/julys-mont...

This week's @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Spaghetti with prawns, courgettes and gremolata. Easy to make and very tasty. Never had gremolata before and it was delicious! www.theguardian.com/food/2025/ma...

Roast Red Chicory (though you might call it Witloof) is #RecipeOfTheDay! I make this on a weekly basis, at the very least. In fact, I rather think of it as the house vegetable! www.nigella.com/recipes/roas...

A tremendous triumph by @helenterrapin.bsky.social

Eyes on the paper - thank you @lucyantal.bsky.social

This week's @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Anna del Conte and Vincenzo Corrado’s fennel with pistachio, lemon and anchovy sauce. I used pine nuts for the pistachios.

This week's @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social Pasta with peas, cream, lemon and cheese. Improvised with tinned peas, sour cream, Irish cheese & thinly sliced lemon peel as no grater - we are on holiday.
