WITH CHEF GLENN LAURIE AND FAMILY
When summer arrives, pull the tables and chairs outside and get set for everyday alfresco dining. This year we want to give mealtimes the Mediterranean treatment, so we asked Melbourne-based chef Glenn Laurie for some inspiration. Here he shares a favorite family recipe that’s absolutely bursting with the flavours of Southern Italy.
