Pasta Remoli Holy Macaroni real authentic Italian food

Pasta Remoli serves up authentic Italian food within five restaurants across London as well masterclasses on how to make pasta in which Chef Simone Remoli hosts within London’s Stratford area.

I adore Italian food but it is very hard to find a decent Italian restaurant which serves up tasty Italian dishes especially pasta which tastes authentic until now. Pasta Remoli is perfect if you are looking for an authentic Italian taste as all their pasta is made from Italian 00 flour which comes direct from Italy, making their pasta truly taste like real Italian pasta which you would eat if in Italy. All their ingredients are fresh and their pasta and sauces all are homemade. As well as being able to dine and eat authentic Italian dishes within any Pasta Remoli restaurants, Chef Simone Remoli also holds masterclasses on how to make pasta and Italian sauces throughout the year at Bakehouse by Signorelli in London Stratford.

I was sent down along with my friend on a courtesy basis thanks to The Food Marketing Experts to Pasta Remoli to sample Pasta Remoli restaurant within Wembley which was absolutely delicious. Couple weeks later they also sent me to attend Chef Simone Remoli first ever pasta masterclass on how to make pasta along with some others I know from LPUL Club which was really interesting and yet fun.

Pasta Remoli

Pasta Remoli is founded by Chef Simone Remoli.

Pasta Remoli restaurants can be found all over London in which they serve up authentic Italian homemade dishes using Italian ingredients and fresh locally sourced products bringing to the hungry diners a true Roman taste of Italy.

They make fresh Italian pasta using free range Italian eggs, and Italian 00 flour. Plus, they also have developed a vegan, gluten free & whole wheat pasta as so that everyone can experience authentic Italian flavours.

As well as serving up food you can learn how to make pasta from the master himself within the Bakehouse in Stratford.

Domaine Du Grand Mayne you had me at Merlot

Grand Mayne Wine

Wine is an alcoholic drink which is typically made from fermented grapes and courtesy of Domaine du Grand Mayne Merlot Cabernet wine I got to try theirs and their wine did not disappoint resulting in a lush glass of brilliant red wine, aromas of plums and black cherries, and a spicy fruity taste.

Did you know though that wine has been produced for thousands of years with the earliest coming from ancient China back in 7000 BC? Since then wine has become more and more popular with the European wine market encompassing three of the largest wine producing regions. Today, the five countries with the largest wine producing regions are in France, Spain, Italy, USA and China.

Domaine du Grand Mayne

Domaine du Grand Mayne was founded back in 1985 which was an abandoned vineyard with semi derelict buildings, overgrown copses and fields of maize and sunflowers, to the flourishing vineyard and winery that it is today.

Within a few years Domaine du Grand Mayne was totally transformed into a show piece artisan winery and vineyard who now have over 120,000 vines planted over 34 hectares (84 acres) producing an average of around 200,000 bottles a year.

Kerr’s Gin steam their botanicals

Kerrs Gin Steam their botanticals trifle

Most gin, if you are a lover of gin you will know that the botanicals are usually boiled but what makes Kerr’s Gin different you ask?, well they steam their botanicals. By steaming it captures more of the subtle aromas and complex flavours, together with the barley base, this creates a gin of distinctive depth and character.

I was given a thank you gift of Kerr’s Gin courtesy of The Borders Distillery for reviewing their Puffing Vodka.

The Borders Distillery opened back in March 2018 and was the first Scotch Whisky distillery in the Scottish Borders since 1837. They are dedicated to capturing the true spirit of the Borders bringing whisky making back to the region plus vodka and gin.

Hapsburg Absinthe cocktail

Hapsburg Absinthe is one of the worlds most strongest liquors in the world with it having an ABV of 72.5%. Absinthe is a green, strong and minty drink which is great on it’s own, but also delicious in cocktails and also within food, yes food!.

Given a PR sample I was gifted a bottle of Hapsburg Absinthe in which my challenge was to cook with it which I was a bit dubious in it working as of it’s strong minty flavour but I was highly surprised by the results.

Hapsburg Absinthe

Established in 1999, Hapsburg Absinthe was one of the few pioneering brands to appear when the first resurgence of Absinthe took place, since it had been banned in Switzerland in 1905. Absinthe used to be very popular during the 1890’s and very fashionable in the vast majority of cafes, bars and salons, particularly in France and Switzerland, the birthplace of Absinthe.

KitchenAid Experience Store – How to use and cook with plant based food

Kitchenaid brownies

I am not one for vegetables and so when I was invited via KitchenAid London to attend one of their cookery courses of my choice, I chose to learn about plant based food to see if I could actually enjoy a meal made out of vegetables entirely with no meat or fish and I must admit I was presently surprised and impressed.

KitchenAid

Firstly let me tell you a bit more about KitchenAid. They were founded back in 1886 by Josephine Cochrane she revolutionized the world of cooking.  She patented an invention that would in time become the dishwasher as we know it today. Nine of her incredible machines were exhibited, sold and used in restaurants. Some found a place in respected luxury hotels. Driven by the desire to popularise her invention, Joséphine adapted a model for household use just before her death in 1913.

From revolutionary inventions then took birth in 1919 with the first mixer and this is how the brand KitchenAid was born.
