I’m writing this still glowing from Thursday night’s Pasta workshop and Supper Club.
We’d planned a Sardinian supper, and London decided to play along. The heat enveloped us, the light soft, the air warm, and by the time the first plates went down, it honestly felt as though we’d all been spirited away to a terrace on the island itself.
I want to say grazie, to everyone who pulled up a chair and made it the kind of evening I’ll be smiling about for weeks.
A presto, Adele x

We started with a Fregola, Sardinian Pasta, making workshop 👀

Prepared a seafood feast 🦐

One big table, new friends and old ✨

Served with Grilled Zuccini

Served with Fava and Green Bean Salad

Served with Seasoned Peppers

A menu that’s still on my mind days later 🇮🇹✨

Our Sardinian Supper Club Menu 🦐 🇮🇹✨

MammaLina transformed into a corner of Sardinia for one balmy London evening. It began with a lesson in handmaking Fregola alongside beautiful Carmela, the little toasted pearls that started this whole love affair.
A Sardinian seafood feast, simply done, the way the island eats. A Mont Blanc to finish, and something cold in the glass throughout 🥂

Save the menu for your next dinner party inspo.

The light hits you as the warmth envelops you. The ochre walls, each street a different shade of honey. Then the sound, a shutter creaking open, a scooter two lanes over, bells from a church you can’t see yet. Salt and coffee in the air, and underneath it, someone’s sugo already on the stove. You haven’t even unpacked. You’ve already slowed down.

This is what the south does to you. Not somewhere you look at, somewhere that gets under your skin. This is Molise, the stretch of coast nobody told you about, and it feels exactly like this.

Save this for the days you need reminding it’s out there, waiting.

Italy is a culinary journey 🇮🇹✨

This week we ‘Taste Sardinia’ at our Thursday evening supper club, 25th June, at MammaLina Cookery School in Wanstead, London.

One evening will transport you through generations of culinary and cultural traditions, from this beautiful Mediterranean Island

Where Moorish flavours are more familiar than modern Italian 🇮🇹

Make your own fregola (Sardinian pasta) from scratch, alongside our guest “Pastaia”, cookery tutor and Italian book author Carmela Sereno (from Carmela’s Kitchen)

Followed by a sit-down supper and a goodie bag to take home sponsored by Filippo Berio. We’re having an incredible Sardinian-inspired seafood feast. Book via the link in bio…

Dolce far niente, the sweetness of doing nothing 🇮🇹✨

No phone. No plans. Nowhere else to be.

The art of being exactly where you are is at the essence of the Mediterranean lifestyle.

An exciting moment for MammaLina!
Thrilled to be featured in Italy 🇮🇹 Travel 🇮🇹 Life 🇮🇹 👀

This month’s issue features the cookery school under “Italia! recommends: explore Abruzzo and Molise through local food and culture.” To see my corner of Italy, Termoli, Molise, and the wild Adriatic coast of Abruzzo, celebrated in print means the world to me.

It’s the part of Italy most travellers never reach, and one even many Italians forget exists. Which is exactly why I take a small group there each autumn for La Dolce Vita, my six-day ‘Undiscovered Italy’ cookery and cultural retreat. This September, a small group of us will be cooking, tasting and living like locals.

We’re nearly full for 2026. If you’ve been longing for an Italy that’s slower, realer and entirely your own, comment or DM me and I’ll send you everything you need to know.

Grazie, Italia! for seeing what I see in this beautiful, undiscovered place.

Dolce far niente, nonna style 🃏

Two of them, every afternoon, same corner of the piazza. A pack of worn cards, a trump slammed down, an argument that isn’t really an argument. No phones. No plans. Nowhere else to be.

We’ve somehow turned doing nothing into something to feel guilty about. My nonna would laugh at us. Here, sitting in the square while the afternoon turns gold is the point. The cards, the gossip, the third coffee nobody needed. This is nonnamaxxing in its purest form: the art of being exactly where you are.

In Termoli every street ends the same way. At the sea. 🌊

You won’t find Termoli on the Italy postcards. that’s rather the point. This is Molise, the region even Italians forget, and each September I bring a small group home with me to live it, not tour it. Five days on the Adriatic coast, cooking what’s in season, long lunches, and these streets down to the sea.

Don’t see Italy like a tourist. Live it like a local.

A few places left for September. Comment MOLISE, or tap the link in bio to enquire.
