Perfect Meatballs, Every Time

Hello, and thank you for opening this week’s Notes to Recipes. It feels like we’re fostering a real community on here. As always, feel free to drop me a message with any questions you have about the newsletter or cooking in general. Let me be your culinary agony aunt!

This week, we are taking a deep dive into meatballs. I’m sharing everything I know and have learnt about them (there is a lot to tell you about!). Scroll right to the bottom for the recipe and a delicious garlic butter polenta.

All my love, Ben xx

We found a particularly comforting schedule on our honeymoon: rarely leaving our air-conditioned hotel room except to eat lunch, supper, or sip little beers over a game of cards. I couldn’t tell you much about Marseille itself, but I now have a good grasp on its dining landscape, and I know exactly where to find the best pastis and the wobbliest table to drink it at. We did the bare minimum, together, brilliantly. Any culture we happened to absorb along the way to a wine bar felt like a bonus.
