Italian Cuisine

Catch yourself dreaming about those slow, laid-back holidays in the Mediterranean? Satisfy your holiday blues with a little taste of Italy, specially put together in our Italian cuisine box. This box contains powerful and aromatic spices, perfectly measured into small pots to create a mouth-watering three course meal for four people that captures the authentic flavours of Italy.

We believe that cooking should be stress-free. That is why we have carefully put together the exact amount of spices you need, saving you a whole lot of trouble when it comes to calculating the exact measurements! All you do is add the spices as you cook, creating an easy way to serve up authentic Italian food.

In this Italian cuisine box, you will find all the spices you need to cook up delicate Saffron Risotto, tender Hunter’s Chicken and to top it off - sensational Sea Salt Ice Cream.

To start off your Italian food journey, a little Risotto alla Milanese. This is a classic dish, one that originated in Milan and dates back more than 400 years. The subtle, floral flavour of saffron infused in white wine is the perfect start to your three-course meal.

For the main course, we have decided to keep it classic and give you a taste of traditional Italian food. Pollo alla Cacciatora, or Hunter’s Chicken, is a hearty dish originating from Tuscany. It is the type of meal a hunter’s wife would make for her husband when he got home from a long day outdoors. This warming dish is bursting with flavour and is something that the whole family will enjoy.

No meal (especially an Italian one!) is complete without dessert, of course. So, we thought we would bring you something quintessentially Italian - gelato. This recipe - Gelato con Olio e Sale - calls for vanilla ice cream, extra virgin olive oil and smoked sea salt. A little unusual perhaps, but it will no doubt take you back to those hot Italian summers.

Sound good? There is more - each Italian cuisine box contains a shopping list, cooking method and postcard. Like we mentioned earlier, we want to make cooking as easy and fuss-free as possible. We have also snuck in a specially curated music playlist. We believe that food should be an experience involving all five senses, so let the sweet notes of Italian music compliment your meal.

Here at The Spice Pioneer, we believe that great food is made with the best ingredients. We only use premium ingredients to make our spice mixes, which we roast and blend by hand at our headquarters on the Wirral.

We may be biased, but we think these boxes make an excellent gift for any foodie out there. Check out our Gift Vouchers for the perfect present!
