LA CENA DI NATALE CON ITALY MAGAZINE & LOVE SICILY


A wonderful Christmas supper last night with the Italy Magazine team and Katia from loveSicily. Don't you like Katia's pretty and festive table centre?

First there were antipasti of two kinds of salame plus salsciccia and two kinds of cheese





and this unusual combination of warm bread topped with a little honey and lardo [a type of bacon]:





Then there was pasta alle noci [pasta with walnuts]





followed by a roast of lonza [pork loin] with organic oranges





served with a radicchio and orange salad:



Finally there was, of course, spumante and lots of pandoro and panettone plus a delicious torta filled with ricotta:






Grazie, Katia e grazie, ragazzi!

Mmm...I'm salivating after looking at all that delicious food Pat.
What I would like to know is, How do you manage to stay so slim?
I only have to look at a pudding and immediately put on the pounds.
Maybe walking Simi is the answer?
Sadly Chloe doesn't do 'walkies', she much prefers to run up trees, so, I don't feel much inclined to join her!

P.S. I've written a little seasonal tale should you care to take a peek.Dx
