**Grazia's food columnists Michaela, Emanuela and Romina Chiappa are three sisters who have become foodie sensations. Jamie Oliver is a huge fan, and their regular column Dish Dilemmas in Grazia features not just Italian food, but recipes from all over, and it’s aimed at solving real life dilemmas in the kitchen. Whether you need help with cooking a meal to impress your boyfriend’s parents you’re meeting for the first time, or if you’ve been racking your brains about what to cook for friends, the Chiappas can help. **
This week it's all about what barbecue finishing flourishes: and the sisters are making Aperol Spritz Granita, an easy summer pudding that's perfect alfresco end stop. The past few years Aperol Spritz - a cocktail made with this bright sparkling orange spirit and mixed with some prosecco - has been the on trend drink of summer.
Prepare in advance and it will keep in the freezer for several weeks, ready for when you need a cooling pick me up or need to impress unexpected guests. Serve with a dollop of mascarpone and fresh fruit. And, if you don’t want to go to the effort of turning it into a granita, freeze the mix in an ice-cube tray and then add a couple of frozen orange cubes to your glass of Prosecco for a splash of colour. Two solutions for a bright, sparkling and icy delight!
And don’t forget to tell the Chiappas your own foodie dilemmas. From what to feed your picky no gluten/no dairy dinner date to a cheats way to impress the in-laws and how to cook a delicious 5 minute pasta sauce midweek using only store cupboard ingredients, their regular Grazia column is all about solving daily kitchen conundrums, and they want to hear from you!
