Davide's Eggplant Parmigiana (Vg)

A Generational Recipe  Straight from Davide’s Nonna’s Kitchen

"This is my Grandma’s version of the eggplant parmigiana. Hers is a mouthwatering recipe made with layers of sliced eggplant lightly dusted in flour and then fried. This is then layered with passata, fresh mozzarella, grated Parmesan, fresh basil & oregano." – Davide

For Davide, this parmigiana is more than a meal — it’s a memory of his Nonna’s kitchen, where simple vegetables and a few good ingredients became something extraordinary. Each slice of eggplant is carefully floured and fried until golden, then layered with rich tomato passata, fresh mozzarella, parmesan, and fragrant herbs. The result is a bubbling, cheesy bake that’s deeply comforting yet elegant in its simplicity.

This is Italian home cooking at its finest: honest, generous, and made to share. It celebrates the eggplant itself — tender on the inside, with just enough structure to hold those layers together — while the cheese and tomato create that irresistible balance of richness and freshness. A dish born from tradition, still perfect today.

• "I am the quintessential Italian chef! Born and raised in Venice, Italy, I trained and worked in some of the worlds most delectable restaurants in the world. But all this “professional” knowledge pales in comparison to the lessons I learnt from my Mamma and Nonna!

  Food is life and everything revolves around food, however, cooking for others is my true passion. I enjoy making classic Italian dishes and am excited to experiment and revitalise traditional meals with new ingredients."
