Chocolate and olive oil on toast

This recipe is our take on a Catalan classic. El Bulli's book "From The Family Meal: Home Cooking with Ferran Adrià" put this basic snack on the culinary stage. Simple, and yet surprisingly indulgent. Here, we jazz it up slightly with a little heat... "Pa amb xocolata, oli i sal", or just bread with chocolate, olive oil and salt, can be made for a kid's afternoon snack, a late-night treat, or—as we'll be doing this weekend—a lazy breakfast alongside a flat white. El Bulli's style is the sim...

Vita-slaw with cabbage, carrots, and apples

This is the remedy for January: a seasonal vitamin-packed slaw that was bold, flavourful and healthy. We made this so many times this month, we lost count. Quick, tangy, and immune-boosting.

All mixed up with new harvest olive oil weaving flavours together and bringing out the very best for these ingredients at their peak. Here are the ingredients you'll need: cabb...

Mango sorbet with olive oil

Prepare to be blown away by this flavour pairing. Sweet, fragrant mango with rich, grassy extra virgin olive oil—a dessert you won't stop thinking about. Time to get your hands on some seasonal mangos! Ok, but what is the craze all about? Well, the Alphonso variety is available only for a very short period of time each year and it has got a superior texture and flavour—you can literally taste the sun. Though not local, it is one of our favourite ultra-seasonal fruits and such a big treat. Th...

Pouring a spoon of extra virgin olive oil

5 reasons to start your day with a spoonful of EVOO

The start of the New Year is for many of us the time to reflect, set our resolutions, and create new habits. Some will meditate, some will start learning a new skill and others… will start taking a spoonful of olive oil in the morning! This oil “trend” started to emerge quite recently with celebs swearing by it. Some, like Kourtney Kardashian, shoot a spoonful of it every other day, while others, like Sophia Loren, take it to the next level by bathing in it. Beyonce consumes it so liberally...
