[CUISINE ADAGIO] - Sunday Lunch, Sorrento

Well it finally happened! Home at last and on Sunday we had our first food event in the other Sorrento, the one on Mornington Peninsula.

Actually is was at a splendid cliff top homestead, Nyland, one of the first ever built in Portsea, the home of a friend of mine ( see photo) Accompanied by friends and family, 'yours truly' worked hard in the old country kitchen. First challenge was not to trip up on a Jack Russell, Labrador or Cocker Spaniel. Next was how to choose a dining room, as there are several of these.

[CUISINE ADAGIO] Spaghetti Vongole, Melbourne

It was a bit sad last week leaving Summer in Rome especially on a hot and balmy night. How sophisticated to remain at the beach, shower, slip into dining attire and watch the sunset from the al fresco restaurant? The Italians just do it in style don't they?

Spaghetti Vongole at the beach in Ostia was a marvellous way to ease my pain, and also give me a lesson in how the Romans have perfected this dish.

I have eaten it all over Italy and it is never as good as it is in Rome! But why?
