We’re thrilled to welcome the wonderful Ursula Ferrigno to the Elder Press for an evening celebrating the new-season extra virgin olive oils. 🫒
Italian cookery writer, teacher and much-loved authority on regional Italian food, Ursula will guide us through a tutored tasting of three exceptional oils from single-estate family farms in Liguria, Tuscany and Sicily. Sicilia Fredda
Then settle in for a menu built around these beautiful oils: farinata with roasted seasonal vegetables and rosemary butter, fresh pasta with squid and chickpeas, involtini di pollo, and an almond and olive oil tart with figs and blackberries.
Wonderful food, shared knowledge and the simple pleasure of gathering around the table. A little taste of Italy. 🤍
📅 Tuesday 10th November
⏰ 6.30pm - 9.30pm
🥂 £75 per person
Spaces are limited, booking link in bio!

✨Our super grain porridge is a bowl of goodness to set you up for the day: buckwheat oats, gluten-free oats, red, white and black quinoa, and chia seeds. It’s rich in fibre and wonderful for your gut, with buckwheat as the star.
Right now we’re topping it with roasted seasonal plums, blackberries, pistachio crumbs, our house-made almond butter and a drizzle of maple syrup.🫶
Come in, sit down, and start your day right. ☕😌✨
