Destination...Fourth Village

Eating out in Sydney is always such a delight. Funky restaurants and bistros abound the city and inner suburbs.My favourite place to eat and purchase home providore goods is Fourth Village in Mosman.

Fourth Village is not only a top class Italian restaurant, but an amazing providore store, packed with many great Italian brands essential for cooking a classic Italian meal. Wandering around the store always reminds me of the French and Italian markets. The produce is dislpayed the old fashioned way in baskets and boxes using blackboards to announce the various prices.

The restaurant has had many accolades over the last few years and is always in the top five for the best pizzas in Sydney. Head Chef Flavio, weaves his magic from years spent in Sardinia learning the art of Italian cooking. On my last visit to Fourth Village I tried the Pesto Trapanese and Spaghettino Alla Bottarga, amazing flavours and texture.

Have a lovely weekend. Andrina x

To market to market...

To market to market to buy a fat pig…..

Today I shopped like an Italian, market style.

Campo di Fiori is just around the corner from us.
With basket in hand, off I went to purchase the fresh produce.

Walking into the piazza, the smell of the fruit and flowers was incredible.

First up tomatoes, mozzarella and basil for a pre- dinner snack.

Then some more delicious tomatoes, artichokes and capsicum to accompany the penne.

Strawberries and raspberries to slather over the magnificent meringue from the local patisserie.

And finally a Jo Malone candle, (via Condotti… a girl’s gotta have style) and a bunch of pink peonies to set the scene.

Ah la dolce vita.
