An Italian Feast Part 2: Marinated King Prawn & Ciabatta Skewers with Herby Borlotti Beans

Marinated King Prawns and Ciabatta Skewers with Herby Borlotti Beans|thefoodiesway.co.uk Ok, so it’s been a while since my last post (over 2 months unbelievably!) and I am feeling the foodie withdrawal symptoms.

Summer has been eventful to say the least; such is the rich tapestry that is life. But, I promised you a Part 2 to the Italian Feast and here it is: ta da! Thankfully, we are basking in the last throes of an Indian summer, so a last minute barbecue dish to celebrate the end of the season may be just the ticket. At 20 degrees outside, a cheeky last alfresco dining evening, sauvignon blanc in hand, is definitely what I will be doing this weekend.

Amy and Andrew share my love of Italian cooking and let me in on their favourite Italian cook book: Gino’s Italian Escape. Not only is Gino D’Acampo rather appealing, but so are his timeless Italian recipes. Gino is a man of my own heart, sharing recipes that are ‘simplicity itself’ containing ‘fresh, top quality seasonal ingredients cooked simply to allow the flavours to speak for themselves.’ Italian cuisine also speaks to me in that family is at the centre of every meal, along of course, with good wine.

I wanted to treat Amy and Andrew to a simple yet special meal that encapsulates these values and thanked them for their kindness and hospitality during my stay. Bring forth Gino!…

Summer has arrived!

To celebrate, I made these little pizzette, or mini pizzas. When making them, I had in mind alfresco dining and picnics. These little packages of scrumptiousness are perfect to travel and can been packed away nicely for your picnic hamper….
