Lasagna, London & a Painted Lady — March 2024 Vol. Nº6
March is such a strange little month within the year. It is not still winter, not quite spring and the weather is clinically psychotic. So to combat the ever growing confusion on how to exist in this seasonal limbo and how many layers is too many layers, I have cooked up a fun pre-spring, post-winter edition for you.
Full of heart warming recipes, adventure tips & tricks and a peek into my decorating inspo for La Boîte à Bijoux — The articles of March are sure to satisfy your cozy needs and spark a hankering for springtime flirtations. Happy reading bébés. Xx

I have been living my best ‘mob wife’ life since I declared at the tender age of 12 that I wanted to marry into the mafia. So obviously I hosted a classic Italian dinner worthy of any made (wo)man.
How to make the most of a quick trip.
Sometimes you stumble into a space, overly crowed with oil paintings and gilded frames and you fall in love with a stranger.

An Italian inspired dinner with a ‘Mob Wife’ twist. Vermouth, wine, lasagna, caesar, fritto misto and tiramisu. Did I leave anything out?
The perfect painting to add even more pizazz to a maximalism apartment. Sometimes you fall in love with a painting and she solves all of your problems (for now).
For the love of pasta. From classic fettuccine to unique ravioli, Le Super Club has the art of (gluten free) pasta figured out.

March Moments
Your guide to a quick stint in London, inspiration for a perfectly Italian evening and mini introduction to my apartment that I lovingly call ‘La Boîte à Bijoux’.
I thought that maybe lasagna was an Americanized version of Italian food. However I was thrilled to discover that although it originated in Ancient Greece, Lasagne is 100% Italian (unlike me).
Love at first sight isn’t always about a person… your soulmate… the love of your life. Sometimes it is a large painting of a lady napping in the nude.
London has my heart. With bougie restaurants, a vibrant & artsy night life, maximalism decor and endless antique & vintage treasures, what’s not to love?

In a large cast iron pot, heat about 3 inches of canola oil to 350ºF. Dip the ingredients into the batter, coating each side fully and gently lay into the hot oil. Allow to fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and puffed up. Remove from oil and place on a plate or baking sheet covered with paper towels and sprinkle with finishing salt. Once all items are fried, place in a serving dish and serve warm with fresh lemon wedges and an espellete pepper aioli. Xx
