On this public holiday, our kitchen turned into a stage for a simple yet splendid family lunch. Mushrooms, sautéed with a touch of garlic, butter and herbs, whispered stories of the forest. Tender calamari, lightly charred, teased the taste buds with a hint of the sea. Juicy vine tomatoes, burnt to a tangy sweetness, and slices of pork jowl with a caramelized edge sang of indulgent textures.
Roasted cauliflower, with a crunchy walnut crown, hugged our palates with its earthy warmth, while a whole baked seabass was a silent ode to the simplicity of home cooking. Each dish melded into a chorus of flavours, to be savoured among the laughter and the light clinking of wine glasses
