Buon Martedì,

Ferragosto is Italy's mid-August holiday, always spent with friends and family.

This year it falls in the middle of a heatwave where a heavy dinner is the last thing anyone wants.

This is the menu I put together for the occasion: a full five-course spread (antipasto, primo, secondo, contorno, dolce) built on seafood, vegetables, and fruit.

Light enough to enjoy the whole day together at the table.

🍽️ Italian Octopus Salad (Insalata di Polpo)​
🍽️ Prawns & Cherry Tomato Pasta​
🍽️ Baked Rainbow Trout with Lemon​
🍽️ Olivier Russian Salad​
🍽️ Watermelon Jelly​

buon appetito,
