We have been cooking for guests at La Faula since 1997. Below is a list of the recipes that have been prepared in our kitchen. Some are prepared often, others depend upon the bounty of our vegetable garden in a particular year and what it is producing. Some come into fashion or simply fall into disuse for no particular reason other than our whimsy.
At La Faula dinner is served punctually at 7.30 p.m. Guests are served three set courses: a first (generally pasta or risotto), a second (generally meat or cheese based) and a sweet. Historically, we decided the dinner menù for a particular day on the morning of that day. We treat guests as guests in our home (which they are) rather than restaurant diners.
However, the Internet and the early integration of a database into our website now enable us to do something that before would have been inconceivable. We can ask guests, prior to their arrival, to tell us what they would like to try when they are dining at La Faula (and, what they would like to avoid). The individual choices can then be collated and can form the basis week-on-week for what we cook and serve. So if you book at La Faula using our message system you will be able to indicate what you would like and not like to eat during your stay. We absolutely guarantee to avoid serving during your stay any items that you highlight as not wanting to eat. We can´t guarantee to serve all those items that you indicate as being desirable (we also follow the production of our vegetable garden!) but we do promise to do our best to meet your choices! Note, however, that this option is only available to those who use the website messaging system - booking by e-mail doesn´t permit this degree of functionality.
Please note that the recipes below are adapted for La Faula - one thing that we must mention if you are trying them at home is that the Faula oven is very, very slow (it is old-fashioned and non fan assisted). Therefore, for a normal home oven the temperatures given in the recipes should be reduced by at least 20°C (maybe even a bit more!). |
