You can’t have missed the pics of Circolo Popolare infiltrating your feed this summer – all lush greenery, rows of beautiful bottles, and happy people having a terrific time. And if, like us, you want to recreate some of this Sicilian magic at home, you’re in luck. The restaurant group behind it all, Big Mamma, has just released a cookbook.
Featuring 130 of the team’s best recipes (they also run London’s Gloria, and eight eateries in France), Big Mamma Cucina Popolare (£27.95, Phaidon) gives a creative twist to traditional Italian fare – from their ‘Sexy Brushcetta’ and a beautiful bomba rossa to a tiramisu like you’ve never tasted before, all of which can be found right here. *Chef’s kiss*
