Waiting for Christmas and New Year's Eve: the unbridled offer


Pinwheel of delights

There swirl of offers of this New Year’s Eve is truly wild. If the desire is for luxury, the best is the Pergola where the very refined three-star Heinz Beck offers a menu of small masterpieces of gastronomic amazement. Luxury with a breathtaking view is the strong point of Giuda Ballerino which unrolls Rome at the feet of refined customers.

On the other hand, Mazzo a Centocelle or Cru.Dop al Tuscolano are on the opposite side: fun and tasty dishes. In short, to amaze friends without having to take on the effort of preparing a signature dinner.

But New Year’s Eve in Rome also involves many other variations, from the refined gastronomic offer of San Lorenzo, to the spirited inventions of the gallant Antonello Colonna.

Potato meatloaf, ham and cheese recipe – Gordon Ramsay’s version

Potato meatloaf, ham and cheese recipe


Meatloaf is always a good idea! To me just the word “Meatloaf“It reminds me of home, of Sunday lunch but above all of a dinner at grandma’s house. I had already written it when we published the meatloaf recipe, for me my grandmother is the undisputed Queen of this dish. Today we take inspiration from that recipe to prepare something a little different and extraordinarily good: the potato meatloaf!

In a word: delicious! Stuffed potato meatloaf is the thing I would eat at any time. Hot, cold, for lunch, for dinner and… as far as I’m concerned… even for breakfast! It tastes like that delicate And tasty at the same time that one slice leads to another. And then I bet that children love it too, because cooked ham and cheese together are a great classic that always wins everyone over! Yes, because inside my potato meatloaf there are precisely these two ingredients. Clearly everyone can customize the recipe to their liking! Other combinations that, for example, would look great on us are:

  • Speck and fontina
  • Mortadella and fior di latte
  • Spinach and ricotta: perfect for a vegetarian version
  • Gorgonzola and sautéed sausage

But I could continue until tomorrow! Yes, because there are a thousand ingredients that go together with potatoes!

How to make potato meatloaf

But let’s get to the potato meatloaf recipe, here are some recommendations to get it perfect:

  • Potatoes: better if they are old because they will have less water and the mixture will be easier to work with. However, if you purchase them specifically to prepare this recipe, choose those that say “for gnocchi” on the package.
  • Cooking: it is important to respect the step in which I suggest cooking the potato meatloaf first covered with baking paper and then uncovered.
  • Rest time: once cooked, let the meatloaf cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting it, so that it thickens a little and becomes easier to plate!

Everything is ready? Let’s begin! But first, here are some recipes to save for next time.

Yoghurt dessert with fig compote and cardamom – Gordon Ramsay’s version

Yoghurt dessert with fig compote and cardamom


This yogurt dessert It’s a dessert with a guaranteed wow effect. Inspired by Middle Eastern desserts, with the scent of rose and cardamom and the delicious touch of honey.

I love the desserts by the glass, especially in glass, to reveal the layers of goodness they reserve. This Greek yogurt dessert is no different, thanks to the sweet and spicy base of the cardamom fig compote.

The operation that takes the most time is making the fig jam, which you can prepare in advance, replace with a ready-made compote to which you add the cardamom powder, or replace it with your favorite fruit compote… Any ideas? Let the season inspire you: peaches and apricots in summer, persimmons and figs in autumn, apples and pears in winter, strawberries in spring.

A few drops of rose food essence cannot be missing, which you can replace with the wildflower aroma, and a few dried edible bud*. For an elegant and refined result that will leave your guests speechless.
