🌸 Spring has sprung at Kitchen Paradiso! 🌸

Say ciao to Zia Marie, our Nonnas' sister, soaking up the sunshine and reminding us why we do what we do — famiglia, flavour, and a whole lot of love. 👒🌳

New season, brings new energy in the kitchen too! 🎉

Same warmth, same Calabrese recipes, same Kitchen Paradiso family — just growing a little. 💛

We love a quick recipe... but at Kitchen Paradiso, we love a quick hack even more 😌

Our Nonnas didn't have fancy baking paper or pre-cut tin liners - just pure elbow grease. We'll take the shortcut where we can get it 🍝

Let's share a smile from Nonna Antonia.

She was the mother of our Nonnas' - the generation before the generation who influenced us. Another woman with recipes you don't find in any cookbook, but through knowledge passed down by just doing.

Grazie, Nonna. 🍝

Gattò di Patate — a taste of Calabria from Nonna’s kitchen 🇮🇹

A humble yet delicious Calabrian potato cake, creamy on the inside with a golden, crispy crust — the perfect comfort food.

Made with freshly mashed potatoes, Tweedvale Traditional Milk and Tweedvale Cream for that rich, velvety texture. It’s also a beautiful way to reinvent leftover mash and turn it into something the whole family will love.

Simple ingredients, Nonna’s traditions, and a little taste of Calabria in every bite.

The secret to something delicious 🤫🥔
Tweedvale double cream meeting mash potato... this is only the beginning. This week's Kitchen Paradiso recipe is coming, and Nonna would approve. Stay tuned 🇮🇹👀

🌾 Family. Tradition. Legacy. 🌾

Long before Tweedvale was what it is today, it was just this, a family, a paddock full of cows, and two children tumbling around in the grass. 🐄

Carlo had no idea back then that all of this would one day be his to carry forward and his sister Gabriella would be working with him on their marketing - both helping shape the story we share with you today.

That's the thing about family businesses, they're never really built by one generation. They're handed down, added to, and carried forward, one pair of hands after another. 🤝

Here's to the ones who came before us, and the ones carrying it on. 💚

Here's a Kitchen Paradiso tip.
You can follow the recipe but the real secret ingredient is the taste test. 🥄

When cooking with his Nonna, Andrew would never serve it without her approval. Never trust a sauce until you've tasted it yourself, adjusting the salt, the acid, the balance, right up until the very last minute. No shortcuts, no guessing.

Our tip this week: taste as you go. Your palate is the best tool in the kitchen. 🍝

This is one of those beautiful family recipes that has been passed down through generations. It’s our Great Zia Maria's recipe, our Nonnas' sister's recipe and one that has always been loved by her children and grandchildren.

It’s still enjoyed regularly around the big family dinner table, just as it has been for years. Simple, rustic and traditionally Calabrian, Pasta Piselli is a wonderful example of how a handful of humble ingredients can make the most comforting meal.

Sweet peas simmered with tomato, onion, garlic and basil, tossed through pasta and finished with freshly grated Parmesan and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. 🇮🇹

It’s also a delicious way to incorporate plenty of peas into a pasta dish and one that the whole family will enjoy.

Some recipes aren't just recipes… they're memories around the table. ❤️

This week's recipe starts the way every great Italian dish does - with someone getting the onions just right. And trust us, Zia Marie knows how. 🍝

🎉 Thank you for 50 recipes with us! 🎉

Fifty recipes got us thinking... every family's got that family recipe. The one that's not written down anywhere, the one that shows up at special occasions or on the day we just need it.

What's that recipe in your family? Is it the one no one can get as right as 'Nonna's'?

Drop it in the comments. 👇
We want to hear about it. 🍝❤️
