RECIPES
Ricotta Tortellini, Tomato, Eggplant Fritto and Tomato Water - Chef Recipe by Rey Ambas
This is a nice easy pasta dish to learn if you are eager to get in there and cook, get your hands dirty or cook together with some loved ones.
RECIPES
Slow Down - Recipe by Gaston Padovani.
This is the perfect cocktail for any time or occasion – it is my own version of a deconstructed Paloma, replacing the tequila for slow gin and adding passionfruit and honey to the mix for a perfectly balanced cocktail. Adding a bit of peach bitters and salt leaves a lot of flavour on the back of the tongue and a beautiful aftertaste.
