Dear Fabio & Rob,
I just wanted to send you a note to thank you for the big part you played in making my birthday so lovely this year!
I couldn’t have asked for a nicer evening.
This is how the 2012 kicked off for the Backdoor Kitchen. A tiny colorful box delivered at the 47 by the Royal Mail postman in a sunny and cold morning of January.
A little box full of something very sweet actually:
“P.S. As a small token of my appreciation I made you some coconut Macaroons”
– they were BUONISSIMI Jen 🙂
It is fair to say that J E N is our 1st official aficionado.
She came over at one of our very first supperclubs, a Spanish Tapas Night. She enjoyed it so much that then decided to celebrate her birthday at the Backdoor Kitchen.
It was one of the funniest nights we had since we started the supperclub and one of the most challenging too!
You can’t imagine what does it mean to feed – here I’m quoting Jen 😀 – “SUCH AN AWKWARD BUNCH OF DIETARY REQUIREMENTS”. But we made it eventually 🙂

WE COULDN’T BELIEVE IT WHEN SHE CAME UP WITH THIS REQUEST! PROBABLY SHE DOESN’T KNOW HOW MUCH IT MEANT TO US.
IT WAS VERY ENCOURAGING AND WE ARE STILL VERY THANKFUL TO HER FOR THAT NIGHT.
It has been a very busy 2 0 1 2 for the Chef & the Slave.
Tons of wine and prosecco bottles have been opened (and drank until the last drop :p) – we collected those that remind us the best moments on a window shelf here in the kitchen -, plenty of onions have been cut, quite a few glasses have been dropped on the floor, hundreds of pictures of smiles and smoking dishes served on the table have been taken…
DO YOU REMEMBER THIS GIRL?
Of those days we remember many laughs, lots of music played out loud, an important movie watched on the sofa late at night, Brighton on a very gloomy day and lots of talking about some crazy little loves that sadly were gone and some others that sadly were about to go.
We had also a couple of graduations to celebrate!
…So many guests walked in here and enjoyed our food. Most of them became good friends, some of them very special friends.
DO YOU REMEMBER THIS GIRL?
A S S U N T A is from Calabria, in the deep south of Italy, but she moved to Rome years ago because of her studies. She is a friend of a friend and joined us last spring for few months. We had lots of fun together and since the very beginning
she was thrilled to get involved in the Backdoor Kitchen.
She designed our logo, the business cards and helped us to “refurbish” this blog – and, believe me, not an easy quest to deal with people like me and Rob when it comes to “do we go for mine or your option?”.
