Hi Julia,
Ever since you posted this I've been thinking of trying these Malfatti.
So on Saturday night I got to it.
As usual first time with a new recipe was a bit slow but the end result
was great. Really delicious, and incredibly light. Will certainly be
making them again.
I didn't use this exact recipe but a simpler one from Italy, and just poached
the Malfatti without baking them as that seems to be more traditional.
Attached photo of the Malfatti before we tucked into them.

Even if you've never heard of them before, you will know you're going to love
them - Plump little Italian spinach ricotta dumplings, baked on a bed of tomato
Napoli Sauce, finished with a dusting of parmesan. Bonus: "Malfatti" translates
to "badly made" in Italian which means "rustic" which is a licence of
imperfection. DELICIOUS imperfection!!! - Nagi & Dozer xx

Postcard from Tasmania!
Greetings from Tasmania!! Technically "overseas" albeit still in Australia,
this is just the 2nd time I've been on a plane since COVID hit 18 months ago.
Such a novelty these days!!
Dozer, as always, was extremely unhappy at the sight of the suitcase. And of
course, I miss him terribly - but he's here with me in spirit,, on my face
mask…😂
So what am I doing down here, you ask?
DARK MOFO! It's an annual music, art and food festival in Tasmania that
celebrates dark and ancient pagan rituals. It's weird and wonderful,
captivating and just SO COOL! Dark MOFO is everywhere you go, and it seems
every alleyway you look up has something Dark MOFO related, whether it's a wall
of graffiti art or a secret doorway into a cool pop up bar, live music or a
seemingly innocent looking door that leads into a giant warehouse with a light
installation "event" / art (I don't know how to describe it, it was just
fascinating!).
Of course, for me personally, the big draw card was the food. And I have to
say, it is one of the best food and booze event I have ever been to in my life.
It's all about local produce, and believe me, Tasmania has the BEST produce in
Australia, with much of it cooked outdoors over fire. There's everything from
cheese to BBQ octopus, Korean burritos to empanadas, exceptional prime rib and
grilled scallops.
YES, I HAD IT ALL!!!
But beyond the food, the vibe of Dark Mofo is just so great. Think - dark
nights and red lights, fire and smoke. Lots of people watching to be done, and
it's an event for everybody, from the kids to the elderly.
Suffice to say, there's a lot of eating to being done. So I'm really trying to
make sure I get out and about to burn some calories. There's some hiking on the
cards in the coming days - I'm here for 10 days on a big food trail.
But until I get out of Hobart, I'll have to make do with the city streets -
singing in the rain!!!
More travel updates coming soon! - Nagi xx

Me: "Any signs of missing me at all??"
Golden retriever boarder: "Sorry, nope"
Me: "I thought I saw a glisten in his eye….tear?"
Golden retriever boarder: "He definitely squeezed out a tear"
