Italinary - Italian Culinary Experience Review

If there is one cuisine that the whole family enjoys it has to be Italian food. I love everything about it from the fresh ingredients to the whole Italian way of eating, I am a big believer in their ethos of eating together, making it a social event and not just something that we do to survive.

When Italinary contacted me and asked me if I would like to try one of their Italian culinary experience boxes to try I was intrigued to find out more. As soon as I saw what Italinary was all about to say that I was excited to receive the box was an understatement and it did not disappoint.

Chicken and Chorizo with Artisan Tagliatelle

For this weeks Aldi recipe post I am featuring some delicious artisan pasta that I found when I was shopping last week. We all love pasta dishes so as soon as I saw Aldi's special buy of artisan pastas I knew I had to feature them in a recipe.

Cucina have created for Aldi some pastas that are not your regular pastas, they all have added twists of flavour to make them unique and to add even more flavour to your dish. Today's recipe features the tagliatelle with spring onion but I also came home with some tagliatelle with wild garlic and some Specially Selected taschle pasta. I have got a meal planned using the wild garlic tagliatelle this week. If it is a success I will definitely be telling you all about it!

Today's recipe combines some of our favourite flavours together to create a new family favourite.

This is what I did...

Nudo Adopt Review

One of our most favourite Christmas treats has to be a traditional Italian Panettone. The sweetness of the festive dried fruit and citrus, encased in a buttery, light bread leaves you wanting more and more. So when I was asked if I would like to try Nudo Adopt's traditional Panettone I simply could not refuse!

Nudo Adopt are a group of small scale collaboration of artisanal producers. It started off with one family buying and restoring a 21 acre olive grove and grew from there. Nudo Adopt is a platform for micro-producers to bring their high quality produce to a wider market. Everyone has their own responsibilities for the olive grove, garden or field. Nudo Adopts give the farmers the link to the customer. Having this link in place helps to preserve the traditional farming methods, protects the countryside and keeps things how they have always been. No intensive or destructive farming methods that most modern farms endure, it keeps it as natural as possible. This retains the food natural taste.
