There’s little that pleases a chef more than seeing guests mop up the remaining gravy off their plates with a piece of bread. Knowing that it all tasted so good that guests polish their plates is just about the best praise you can get.
When a piece of bread is used like this, the Italians call it a ‘scarpetta’ or little shoe, and it’s also the name of the Cofoco boys’ newest addition to their empire. Good Italian everyday food which presents, among other dishes, the classical Sicilian aubergine salad caponata.
