A note from Cam —

We are releasing this cookbook as a way to celebrate the holidays together. In the midst of our busy lives, the holidays serve as a reminder to pause, be present and express gratitude for the simple joys that surround us.

Regardless of what the news says, there is so much love in the world and this team is a great testimony of that. Despite the many hurdles that we've had to overcome this year, we've always managed to stay kind and relentlessly support one another, even when we were most tired. The understanding and compassion that we all exude on a daily basis is one of the many things that makes this team so special. I am grateful for the grace and kindness that this team has shown me this year and for the love you all have spread.

Whether it's the warmth shared through daily laughter or the joy of gathering together for a meal, let us cherish these moments and carry them through with us to next year.

I’d like invite us all to cheers to our hard work this year and to the love that we've spread and want to take this opportunity to share with you a reflection that has guided me this year. Whenever I feel unsure about the future, I turn to look at the past to see how far I've come. And when I look at how far this team has come over the 10 years I've known it, I know that we'll be just fine in whatever our next chapter is.

Thank you, and happy holiday to you all.

INSALATA DI MARE DI SIMONA E MARIA


FISH & SEAFOOD | 4 portions | 2h | ♫ Viva la Mamma - Edoardo Bennato
From Daniele Apostolo


For several years my mom (Maria) and my sister (Simo) ran a small grocery store in Northern Italy. Despite the village being in the Alps, my mother, who hails from Sardinia, featured this seafood dish as the star of the menu during the holidays.


INGREDIENTS  
  1. 1 fresh mediterranean octopus (800g to 1kg)
  2. 350 g fresh organic shrimp
  3. 150 g Taggiasca olives
  4. 50 g salina capers
  5. 2 celery stalks
  6. 1 red bell pepper (optional)
  7. ½  Tropea onion (finely chopped)
  8. Juice of ½ of a Sorrento lemon (adjust to taste)
  9. EVO, as needed
  10. Parsley, as needed
  11. S&P

PREPARATION
  1. In a large covered pot,cook the octopus in its own water until tender. The knife should be able to pass through easily and the flesh should melt in your mouth. If the octopus has a rubbery texture, continue cooking. Taste small pieces until the texture is right. Cut into 1-2 cm wide pieces once done.
  2. In a saucepan, cook the shrimp “à l’anglaise”, without adding salt. Let them cool
  3. Roast the bell pepper in the oven at 200 degrees celsius until the skin is burnt. Peel off the skin, let it cool and cut it into strips.
  4. Finely chop the onion. Drain the olives. Rinse the capers. Chop the celery stalks and parsley.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust quantities as desired.
  6. In a large salad bowl, mix all ingredients well and taste. Adjust seasoning as desired. Refrigerate bowl for 12-24 hours so that the salad absorbs the dressing. Remove from the refrigerator 15-30 minutes prior to serving. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
  7. For an exotic surf-and-turf touch, pair it with a cold Gewürztraminer served at 4-6 degrees Celsius. For a more festive note, it can also be paired with a Ca'del Bosco Cuvée Prestige Extra Brut Franciacorta également.

Buon appetito!





INSALATA DI MARE DI SIMONA E MARIA


POISSONS & FRUITS DE MER | 4 portions | 2 h | ♫ Viva la Mamma - Edoardo Bennato
Par Daniele Apostolo


Ma mamma (Maria) et ma sœur (Simona) ont tenu pendant plusieurs années une petite épicerie dans un petit village du nord de l’Italie. Ma mère étant originaire de Sardaigne, même si le village est dans les Alpes, le plat phare des fêtes était un plat de la mer.


INGRÉDIENTS
  1. 1 poulpe de la Méditerranée frais (800 g à 1 kg)
  2. 350 g de crevettes bio fraîches
  3. 150 g d’olives Taggiasche
  4. 50 g de câpres di Salina
  5. 2 branches de céleri
  6. 1 poivron rouge (facultatif)
  7. ½ oignon de Tropea haché finement
  8. Jus de ½ citron de Sorrento (au goût)
  9. Huile d’olive extra vierge
  10. Persil
  11. Sel et poivre

PRÉPARATION
  1. Dans une grande cocotte couverte, faites cuire le poulpe dans son eau jusqu’à ce qu’il soit tendre. Le couteau doit se planter facilement et la chair doit être fondante à la dégustation. S’il a une texture « caoutchouteuse », recommencer. Goûtez de petits morceaux jusqu’à ce que la texture vous convienne. Coupez en morceaux de 1 à 2 cm.
  2. Dans une casserole, cuire les crevettes « à l’anglaise », ne pas saler. Laisser refroidir.
  3. Faites cuire le poivron au four à 200 °C, jusqu’à ce que la peau soit brûlée. Épluchez. Laissez refroidir. Coupez en lamelles.
  4. Hachez finement l’oignon. Essorez les olives. Rincez les câpres. Ciselez le céleri et le persil.
  5. Dans un petit bol, mélangez le jus de citron et l’huile d’olive extra vierge. Salez, poivrez, goûtez.
  6. Mélangez tous les ingrédients dans un saladier, goûtez et ajustez l’assaisonnement au besoin. Mettez au frais pendant 12 à 24 h pour que la salade s’imprègne des condiments. Sortir du réfrigérateur 15 à 30 minutes avant dégustation. Goûtez et rectifiez l’assaisonnement si nécessaire.
  7. Pour une touche exotique terre-mer, accompagnez d’un gewürztraminer froid servi entre 4 et 6 degrés Celsius. Pour une note plus festive, choisissez plutôt un Ca’del Bosco Cuvée Prestige Extra Brut Franciacorta également.

Buon appetito!
