The Team
New summer menus available from 12th Sept.
Enrica comes from Brindisi (Puglia, Italy), a gem city enclosed between the sea and the magnificent countryside. She has always been fascinated by the art of cooking, thus experimenting in the kitchen, her passion to create tasty artisan products unleashed. Thanks to her Apulian roots, Enrica learnt that simplicity is the key to making delicious products as long as raw ingredients preserve quality and authenticity. For example, from very simple elements such as flour, water and extra virgin olive oil, one can obtain fragrant breads, frise (similar to bruschetta), taralli, etc. .
Moreover, since a young age, Enrica practised competitive sports, understanding further the importance of a balanced diet in order to keep a sound mind in a sound body. That is why, she researched further into the local culinary art until, in 2011, she moved to England to improve and refine her skills in professional kitchens.
