My father refused to eat lamb so it was never offered and the rest of the family never acquired the taste. That is, until I found this recipe. The garlic, rosemary and JOSEPH La Casetta aged vinegar combine to temper the strongly flavoured meat. To complete the meal serve with blanched spinach stir fried in olive oil, garlic and a pinch of chili along with mashed potatoes dressed with JOSEPH Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Yum! Simple soul food for cold winter nights.'

One of Georgina’s family favourites; so simple but so delicious whether as an hors d’ouvre at aperitivo time, a dish of its own or even a side dish. We love washing this down with chilled glasses of Primo Secco!

These crispy fried sardines are the taste of Summer! This recipe is perfect as an antipasto or main, and cries out a for a fresh, fragrant white like our newly released Primo & Co Verdicchio.

One of Georgina’s cousins is an accomplished chef and for a while cooked full time for the Alfa Romeo team of test drivers at their famous Balocco track – which in my eyes makes him a certified legend! He prepared this sublime take on a seafood risotto for dinner one night and I can’t think of a better dish right now for the Primo Estate La Biondina Colombard. Enjoy!

Joe's holiday to the southern Italian region of Puglia inspired this delicious seafood pasta that goes beautifully with the JOSEPH Pinot Grigio d'Elena. We love the way it combines seafood and vegetables to make the sublime sauce. The perfect spring meal as the days grow longer and the buds burst in the vineyard.

A classic combination of flavours inspired by traditional Venetian cooking, this dish comes alive when paired with the delightful new Primo Estate Prosecco.

Lunch or dinner at Dina's mum Silvana's place would not be complete without a bowl of this delicious salad on the table. the red, white and green of the Italian flag are best shown off in a clear bowl. The perfect accompaniment to Pinot Grigio on a hot day.

The green finish of JOSEPH First Run Extra Virgin Olive Oil balances the sweetness of the tomatoes in this delicious pasta dish - sure to be a hit when served outside on a summer evening

Primo Estate’s Patricia was born and raised in Singapore; she remembers the joys of the national dish from a young age. Patricia describes her childhood memories of the dish, "the thick, messy, sweet, spicy, tomatoey sauce with egg stirred through making it all gooey and gloopy was a joy to eat!" What kid (big and small!) doesn't want an excuse to lick their fingers! Perfect with a cold glass of Primo Estate La Biondinaon a hot summer night. Salute!

This light and refreshing pasta dish is delicious and easy to make. Perfect on it's own or with added seasonal vegetables or seafood, this partners well with our Primo & Co The Venetian Garganega. Enjoy!

This simple and easy pasta is perfect for feeding the whole family on a Sunday lunch. Don't spare the anchovies!

This classic vegetarian pasta is transformed by a touch of chilli and the freshly pressed JOSEPH First Run Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Spend some time in the Veneto during the autumn months and two ingredients come to the fore - speck the fragrant smoked prosciutto and radicchio in all its purple splendour. This recipe is one way to combine them both for a stellar result and a very good excuse to open a bottle of Virginia Vineyard Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc. Enjoy!

This dessert is a delicious Summer twist on the classic Tiramisu. Mango and berries add freshness, flavour and make it a perfect match for the JOSEPH La Magia Botrytis Riesling Traminer.

This breakfast treat is an Italian Christmas tradition. Serve with Pandoro, coffee and plenty of The Fronti fortified.
