So 2012 is upon us as is the first public holiday of the year. We don't include New Year's Day as a holiday as you're generally still celebrating from the night before. It's the Australian way isn't it? Er, maybe not.
Does the Aussie larrikin exist anymore? Or is the new Australian a mishmash of cultures? A blending of nationalities, new foods, intriguing traditions and the hilarity that often comes when learning another language. The celebration of Australia Day and what is means to be Australian is so relative. Some are excited and reflective of the emerging cultural melting pot whilst many just enjoy a day off.
Jot your details down below and we'll keep you in the know about all things La Madre...
Focaccia
Ah, foccas. That is what our bakers affectionately call our focaccia breads! These soft, chewy slabs of Italian doughy goodness come drizzled with olive oil and sea salt. And the rosemary focca? Well, that comes with er, rosemary.
Traditionally baked on the floor of the fireplace, we at La Madre use our glorious ovens to toast these beauties up. And whilst a curious Englishman once made a version of these Italian staples that included lard, you will find none of this nonsense in our focaccia.
So we say "Pronto!" to La Madre's focaccia. Whichever way you say it, you'll also need to "fretta" as these goodies won't last long! "Ciao!"
