The Story of Ilaria

For Ilaria, Italian cooking is about simplicity and quality. It's the philosophy that has guided generations of Italian home cooks - take the best ingredients, treat them with respect, and let the flavours speak for themselves.

"Italian cooking isn't complicated. It's about beautiful ingredients, cooked simply, with love. A good cacciatore should taste like Sunday lunch at Nonna's house."

Her Chicken Cacciatore follows this tradition perfectly - tender chicken braised slowly with tomatoes, olives, capers, and fresh herbs until the sauce is rich and the meat falls off the bone. It's the kind of dish that fills your kitchen with incredible aromas and your heart with comfort.

Through HomeCooks, Ilaria shares the warmth of Italian home cooking with families across the UK - bringing a taste of la cucina italiana to British tables.
