John is obsessed with dips. He will dip almost anything, especially pizza crusts. I can't quite get into the pizza crusts into sour cream and chive dip he loves, but I do love a dip.
Caponata is a masterclass in balancing sweet, sour and salty. It's most often made with aubergine, which you have to fry in lots of olive oil first, making it less of a weeknight situation.
Agrodolce means sweet and sour in Italian. In Italy there are so many ways of using this contrast of flavours to bring out the most in ingredients.
Our incredibly simple Aro Ha chocolate encompasses all the goodness of raw cacao – a true superfood – with none of the additives and sugar that get added to most. Raw cacao comes from the cacao plant – Theobroma cacao. This Latin name means ‘food of the Gods’ and the indigenous South Americans knew instinctively that cacao nourished them on many levels.
This slice is a wonder-treat at Aro Ha - everyone loves it! It plays deliciously with different textures and flavours and utilises the berries from our garden. Any berry will do here, but we like them sour to balance out the sweetness of the slice - raspberries and blackcurrants work best.
