Theo Randall runs one of the best Italian restaurants in London, and is always on the hunt for the best ingredients. Delicious magazine got all the details recently in their Q&A with him…including a handy online shop full of quality produce. Now, who could that be…?

“Is Italian cuisine a good choice in these credit-crunched times?

Italian food is perfect; you can make pasta or risotto, you don’t have to use flash ingredients like sea bass. Buy small quantities of nice things from a deli – for instance, cavolo nero pasta or broccoli paste. Add pancetta or anchovies or Parmesan cheese – you only need a small amount. And buy online. I use Natoora, which deliver Italian, French and British to your door.”
