Ferragosto is a beloved Italian tradition, a day of rest and celebration in the heart of summer. It's a time when families escape the city, head to the coast, and indulge in delicious food. This year, Bocca di Lupo is bringing the spirit of Ferragosto to Somerset with their 'Bocca in the Field' event. On August 15th and 16th, the renowned Soho restaurant will transform Wyke House, a Grade II-listed Georgian property, into a culinary haven. With a focus on regional Italian cuisine, Bocca di Lupo promises an unforgettable dining experience amidst the countryside.
The menu is a journey through Italy, showcasing the diverse flavors of different regions. From the delicate Fried Courgette Flowers filled with mozzarella, anchovy, and basil to the sweet-sour Caponata, each dish is a masterpiece. The Porcini Risotto, made with fresh porcini mushrooms, offers an earthy delight, while the Cannoli, crisp Sicilian pastries, provide a satisfying crunch. These recipes, along with other mouth-watering dishes, will be served family-style, allowing guests to share and savor the flavors of Italy.
Bocca di Lupo's commitment to showcasing the diversity of Italian cuisine is commendable. By treating each region's cooking as a distinct tradition, they offer a unique perspective on Italian food. The collaboration with Pharmacy Field Kitchen further enhances the experience, bringing together regional Italian dishes with locally sourced produce from Somerset and the southwest. This fusion of flavors and ingredients creates a truly memorable dining experience.
The 'Bocca in the Field' event is a celebration of Italian culture and cuisine, offering a unique twist on traditional Ferragosto festivities. With limited tickets available, it's an exclusive opportunity to immerse oneself in the flavors of Italy. So, mark your calendars and get ready for a culinary adventure that will leave you craving more.
In my opinion, Bocca di Lupo's 'Bocca in the Field' event is a must-attend for food enthusiasts. It's a chance to experience Italian cuisine in a whole new light, surrounded by the beauty of the countryside. The menu, with its regional diversity and local ingredients, is a testament to the restaurant's commitment to culinary excellence. I can't wait to indulge in these dishes and immerse myself in the spirit of Ferragosto.
