Thanks Imogen! A good one for sharing or just stashing away in the freezer for when you need pure comfort!

This is my favourite lasagne recipe. I make it regularly from your beautiful book "Tortellini at Midnight" and can guarantee it will be a hit with everyone.

Cooking means feeding and something I love to do. My mother have always cooked and still does (87). I cook, my children cook. The kitchen happens to be the meeting and discussion point. No matter how good you are at it as long as you love it. Thank you for this precious piece Emiko!

That is so true and it is my dream that the kitchen is that important space where the family gatherings revolve around too!

Laurie Colwin’s cookbooks were some of my first cookbooks I used & learned from when I left home. They have come in my hand hand luggage when I moved from Washington DC to Niger & Zimbabwe & Rome. ♥️

Colwin’s quote on never being alone in the kitchen ❤️ --it is the truest.

I think about this often, not just about the cooks whispering in my ear (family, friends, cookbook writers...), but even our dishes which are made by so many different people I know/have known.

This post made me want to jump up and start a sugo, even though we’re headed for a hot summery day. Beautiful.
