Teresa's Sugeli with Bruss Cheese

At 91 years old, Teresa still prepares Sugeli exactly as it has been made for generations in the tiny mountain hamlet of Verdeggia, high in the Ligurian Maritime Alps near the French border. It's one of the most authentic dishes of the region’s traditional Cucina Bianca: and Bruss is a fermented ricotta produced by local shepherds.

This highly calorific recipe is typical of the Alpine region. It just shows how much energy the locals would burn up just going about their daily lives!

Not quite the same as a delayed commute on the London tube? But perhaps still a worthy contender as a reward when you get home?
