Sooooooo excited for the long, leisurely beautiful dinner that is about to commence! Eating is about so much more than just nutrients and deliciousness… it’s about connection, love, good people and beautiful memories. That is the secret to a happy life, moments like this around a table with beautiful people who like to eat together ❤️🥂🤩🍷 ❤️

Last night was an absolute blast! 💥 What a cool collab evening. brought the pasta 🍝 and the VINO 🍷! We learned about two amazing pasta dishes that are deeply traditional but somewhat unexplored here in South Africa. It was great to hear what the amazing peeps who joined us thought about these two unfamiliar yet very authentic 🇮🇹 dishes. Each dish was paired with two Italian wines from the same regions or at the very least near by. It was such a perfect way to experience and explore how food and wine converse, and how deliberate and wonderful these regional combinations are. It was an evening of cooking, learning, and so much deliciousness, but most of all a lot of fun in great company! Loved every minute! P.S. Never break the pasta! 😍🍷🍅👌🥂🍝

Authenticity is the heart of what I teach, love and believe in. At Fat Venzo, I’m devoted to sharing pasta in its truest form. Simple, the best ingredients, patience, technique, and recipes that honour traditions.   In my mind tradition isn’t about rigidity; it’s the foundation that guarantees depth, balance, and soul in every bite. With that solid base, the possibilities are endless! Learning the classics opens the door to creativity, experimentation, and joyful play in the kitchen. They are also classics for a reason 😉

If you’re ready to cook with intention, curiosity, and joy, you’re in the right place. 🍷🇮🇹🍅

Share with someone who loves pasta as much as you do, and tell me: which tradition inspires your own kitchen experiments? 🍝

Cacio e Pepe (cheese & pepper)! 🍝 Timeless & so simple! With some handmade pici of course!

Born in the lanes of Rome, this dish anchors itself in the pantry staples of Pecorino Romano, black pepper, perfectly cooked pasta & of course… a touch of pasta water for that silky cream. It’s just all about the technique.

No butter, no actual cream, no fuss! The cheese and pepper do the talking! And when this happens, the conversation is damn good! 🤤🤩

I wonder… what is your favourite Roman pasta? 🍝

Some awesome facts everyone should know… about the king of CHEESE! Parmigiano Reggiano!!!! 🧀🥰

1.) Protected Designation of Origin (PDO).
Parmigiano Reggiano is a PDO product, meaning it can only be produced in specific areas of Northern Italy (Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena and Bologna) and must follow strict production rules.

2.) Long aging, rich flavour.
It is aged for a minimum of 12 months, but many wheels mature for 24 or even 36 months. Longer aging develops deeper caramel notes, granular texture, and a more complex profile.

3.) Nutritional powerhouse.
Rich in high-quality protein, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamins A and B12. It’s naturally lactose-free due to the long aging process.

Also… it’s just sensational! 🤤 seems I need to address a craving! 🧀 😍
