This is the blog we have been anticipating all year, and what a year it’s been. Instabox is up and running and we cannot wait to show you what we have built for you. We have scoured the country and recruited the most exciting, electric and respected chefs, cooks, influencers, authors, experts and more, from the Italian food community to curate exclusive ingredient boxes delivered to your door.

In many cases you have read their books, seen them on TV or magazines, follow their Instagram accounts or visited their restaurants…but have you ever thought you could recreate their food, with the actual ingredients they personally use, without leaving your sofa?

You know what’s coming next…

Well, now you can.

We are super happy to announce our first collaboration with five of our favourite Italian food experts this month;

Danilo Cortellini(@danilocortellini executive chef Italian Embassy in London, Masterchef Professionals and Saturday Kitchen)

Rosie Mackean (@rosiemackeanpastaqueen Chef, Food Stylist, Pasta Queen)

Joe Hurd (@joehurdcook Saturday Kitchen, Munchbox, Travel Channel and Delitalia Development Chef)

The wonderful Paola Maggiulli AKA Instagrams
“Tiny Italian” founder of The Sauce Club and Italian food expert. (@thetinyitalian)

Carmela Sereno Hayes, author of How to Make Your Own Pasta, Northern and Central Italian Family Cooking, A Passion for Pasta, Southern Italian Family Cooking, pasta specialist (@carmelaskitchen)

All 5 have filled their Instabox’s with the most authentic Italian products available so you can recreate their dishes at home. In addition, there are products in there to build up your Italian store cupboard, an inspiration for authentic apperitivo, antipasto, pizza, pasta, sweets and even some cheeky snacking.
