Let’s Cook Together: The Art of the Perfect Polpette with APCI UK! 🇮🇹❤️

Our regional masterclass series with @apciuk (Associazione Professionale Cuochi Italiani) - @fdassori2007 and @chef_giuseppe_silvestri continues with the ultimate symbol of home, warmth, and family: Le Polpette (Italian Meatballs)!

From Sunday family lunches in the nonna's kitchen to the recipes Italian immigrants packed across oceans, polpette are more than just a dish—they are a cultural icon that brings generations together around the table.

Watch and save the video below as our APCI UK master chefs share the essential secrets to mastering tender, juicy polpette just like nonna used to make:

The Secret to Tenderness: Why stale bread soaked in milk (never dry store-bought breadcrumbs!) is the non-negotiable key to a melt-in-your-mouth texture. 🍞🥛

The Perfect Meat Blend: The ideal balance of beef, pork, and rich Grana Padano/Parmigiano or Pecorino to lock in maximum flavour and moisture. 🥩🧀

The Slow Simmer: Cooking the meatballs directly in a rich, slow-simmered tomato passata so they absorb every drop of savoury goodness. 🍅✨

Get ready to bring the heart of Italian Sunday cooking straight to your own kitchen!

✨NONNA ANNETTA’S BROCCOLI FRITTERS✨
Some recipes are born precise.
Weighed. Calculated. Perfect.
And then there are Grandma’s recipes.
The ones that start with:
“Oh, just a bit of this...”
“Add whatever feels right...”
“When it looks ready, it’s ready.”
Translation: Good luck, you’re on your own! ❤️
Together with Sarah (the mind and heart behind Sicily Fest London), we made these broccoli fritters (yes, cauliflower... but in Palermo, we call it broccoli) following her grandmother’s recipe.
Which means:
Zero measurements
Zero rules
100% trust
Cauliflower, eggs, cheese, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper… and a pinch of nutmeg. You mix it all together without overthinking it, and then get ready to fry like there’s no tomorrow.
These are the kind of fritters where you try one just to “check the salt” and suddenly realize you’ve polished off six.
Because some recipes can’t be explained.
They are passed down.
And above all, they are meant to be eaten piping hot, even if you burn your tongue a little.
Now tell me…
If you came to see my live cooking show at Sicily Fest London…
what would you want to see me cook? 👀🔥
Let me know in the comments 👇
Kisses,

Before any chef earns respect in the kitchen,
he learns it from his father.

A lesson carried through every service, every kitchen, every generation.

Happy Father’s Day.
