Recipe
for :
 This
recipe comes from Chef Jonathan Arthur of Italy
with Relish (Italian cooking holidays)
"I
have always seemed to find myself by accident or design,
in a kitchen. As the youngest child of a farming family
in Cornwall I was always the one helping my mother make
butter, bread and of course pasties. As a teenager in
school we were allowed to chose between metalwork or
domestic science, as the former was taught by a notorious
sadist and the latter was full of girls and I was the
only boy in the cooking class" - Italy
