Hi. My name is Karina, and I love food. All food. But good, traditional dishes win me over every.single.time. Like….let’s seeeeee now… the Tortellini with Chunky Beef Sauce; the Lasagna from a few weeks back — and that beautiful Cannelloni stuffed with Turkey and Sweet Potato..

I know it’s probably pretty obvious that my upbringing has a strong, Italian influence (that would be the Uruguayan part), but my mother (being the Colombian part) has always altered some things to suit her cooking style, and then my New York/Australian upbringing crashes down on everything and intermingles it with my Czech husbands tastes, and somehow I’ve created food that suits everyone and ‘no complains.’ Phew. Did I lose some of you? Because that’s a mouthful.

The Osso Bucco simmered in the red wine tenderises in such a way that the beef melts in your mouth, with the rich tomato flavours in the sauce on a bed of warm, soft polenta that satisfies even the fussiest eater.

A perfect, warm and cosy meal for cold nights, rainy days and cloudy skies…
