OLIVE OIL 101

Asparagus with gremolata, burrata, and olive oil

It takes only minutes to make and yet it's an indulgent starter or easy lunch. We've gone completely vegan with this one, but lush normal burrata over asparagus with a gremolata of the season's best herbs is a nice one to have in your back pocket. Beautiful British asparagus has a short season, but that's what makes it special. Have it NOW with simple flavours that let its green notes sing. Here, we paired it with an herby citrus sauce and a bonkers vegan cheese. You heard right. We tested ...

Butter beans, spinach, and extra virgin olive oil

Queen butter beans with greens

A simple, rapid-fire side or starter that'll make you feel so very continental. What was once "peasant food" is now a posh lifestyle choice—but it's always been delicious and nutritious. "Take a plate of beans cooked slowly with garlic, a slice of onion, and a few leafy greens, and put a healthy dollop of olive oil over, as generations of Mediterranean cooks have done down through the ages, and you have something close to a perfect meal. And one that's good for you, too, as modern generatio...

Vegan chocolate mousse with olive oil

Absolutely aqua-FAB! (Too much?) An ingenious and surprising use of ingredients, we were shocked out how delicious it turned out. Essentially, this recipe is any leftover chocolate you might have kicking about from Easter combined with the leftover liquid from chickpeas. The mighty chickpea has quite a range. We've seen it for a while being used as a solution for egg whites in cocktails (e.g. many a pisco or whisky sour can be made vegan with this), but we didn't get just how well it wo...

Simple sliced oranges with olive oil

The Italians do it with pepper. The Spanish add a little sugar. The Sicilians may add some herbs. Martha Stewart even threw her hat into the ring with a version that adds actual chopped green olives.

Chocolate and olive oil on toast

This recipe is our take on a Catalan classic. El Bulli's book "From The Family Meal: Home Cooking with Ferran Adrià" put this basic snack on the culinary stage. Simple, and yet surprisingly indulgent. Here, we jazz it up slightly with a little heat... "Pa amb xocolata, oli i sal", or just bread with chocolate, olive oil and salt, can be made for a kid's afternoon snack, a late-night treat, or—as we'll be doing this weekend—a lazy breakfast alongside a flat white. El Bulli's style is the sim...

Mango sorbet with olive oil

Prepare to be blown away by this flavour pairing. Sweet, fragrant mango with rich, grassy extra virgin olive oil—a dessert you won't stop thinking about. Time to get your hands on some seasonal mangos! Ok, but what is the craze all about? Well, the Alphonso variety is available only for a very short period of time each year and it has got a superior texture and flavour—you can literally taste the sun. Though not local, it is one of our favourite ultra-seasonal fruits and such a big treat. Th...

Pouring a spoon of extra virgin olive oil

5 reasons to start your day with a spoonful of EVOO

The start of the New Year is for many of us the time to reflect, set our resolutions, and create new habits. Some will meditate, some will start learning a new skill and others… will start taking a spoonful of olive oil in the morning! This oil “trend” started to emerge quite recently with celebs swearing by it. Some, like Kourtney Kardashian, shoot a spoonful of it every other day, while others, like Sophia Loren, take it to the next level by bathing in it. Beyonce consumes it so liberally...
