We love cooking with garlic and anchovies. An amazing umami secret ingredient for simple delicious pasta.
Anchovies pack enormous flavour for such little fish. They’re strong to the point that lone a little measure of anchovy is expected to add flavour to sauces, plates of mixed greens dressings, pasta and pizza.
