My Life on a Plate: Priscilla Carluccio
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.My top table
My favourite restaurant is my home! Roaring fires, the best Italian cook, a beautifully laid table, delightful service, excellent wine and, of course, the best friends and family. Why would I go anywhere else?
Comfort eating
On my Italian side, probably a carefully made risotto with carnaroli rice, good chicken stock, butter and Parmesan – sumptuous and simple, elegant and easy. And on my English side, a poached egg on properly mashed potato – definitely not bought in a packet!
My favourite cookbook
My inherited notes on the best recipes from my mother and old nanny, which I dig out from time to time.
The food shop I can't walk past
I don't have a favourite food shop, but I love the Mumbai food market with its sumptuous piles of mangoes, okra, red carrots and pineapples with the salesmen sitting above them like great conductors.
What's in my fridge?
In my fridge I have milk, wine, one bottle of champagne (just in case ...), salad, cheese, eggs, butter, yoghurt and an old jar of mostarda.
Priscilla Carluccio's new shop, called Few and Far, is located at 242 Brompton Road, London SW3, 020-7225 7070
