When I read Carluccio's quote on Cirio's website: "We Italians talk about food all times, even while sitting at the table...", I thought that it's not just the Italians. My auntie and Grandma were exactly the same, domestic Goddesses from the Southern Russia (though not as svelte as Nigella). At breakfast time there would invariably be a very important discussion on what to cook for lunch, then at lunch time - what to prepare for dinner etc etc. And just like the Italians, they used a lot of tomatoes in their cooking, both fresh produce from their kitchen garden as well as canned and tinned. I think my family and Carluccio have a lot in common. Not surprising that I enjoy cooking and talking about food.
Last week I posted a couple of recipes using Cirio tomato products (see my recipes for Fruity pork stew and Chicken and chickpea curry).
