Just returned from a glorious honeymoon in Liguria, Italy. Haven't cooked a thing for almost a month, but here are one or two photos of some of the culinary highlights of the holiday: grilled prawns (the most gigantic, juicy and delicious I have ever had), fritto misto of fish, and a plateau of frutti di mare. The first two were both from a wonderful restaurant recommended by a chef friend of my husband's called La Bitta in the small town of Fezzano, near La Spezia. It was everything a restaurant should be: inexpensive, unpretentious, and serving simple, fresh, delicious food cooked with skill and love. I strongly recommend it to anyone visiting the region.
Having eaten nothing but seafood for the last two weeks I'm rather looking forward to the rack of lamb which my husband is marinating downstairs in the kitchen as I write! But that's for another post.
