In today's cozy vlog, I'm sharing my Italian mum's Bolognese sauce recipe—the rich, slow-simmered family recipe I've been making for years and the one I often use for homemade lasagna.
Come spend a slow afternoon with me as we prepare a traditional Italian-inspired lunch, set a beautiful outdoor table, make fresh lemon and mint water, arrange simple garden flowers, and enjoy an alfresco pranzo with friends. You'll even meet our little squirrel visitor, who never misses a gathering!
If you love slow living, homemaking, simple seasonal cooking, and gathering around the table with family and friends, I hope this video leaves you feeling inspired.
