Rosemary

An aromatic shrub native to Mediterranean countries whose evergreen leaves are used either fresh or dried. Rosemary has a very pungent taste, so not much is needed to flavour a marinade, a stew or a grill. It goes particularly well with lamb, veal, sausagement and some tomato sauces. A sprig of rosemary gives a delicate flavour to milk used for a dessert.

Hot Tips

Fresh pasta

Fresh pasta shouldn't be cooked to the 'al dente' stage. As it is egg based, it needs to be well cooked and not have any resistance when you bite into it but be silky smooth.

Dried Prawns

Known as camarao seco in Brazilian cooking. Tinely blended to a powder or soaked and ground, these tiny sun-dried prawns add a great depth of flavour to Bahian dishes such as xinxim de galinha.
