What makes Davide’s parmigiana true to his Grandma’s recipe?

It’s the technique. Nonna’s way was always to dust the eggplant lightly in flour before frying. This creates a delicate crust that stops the slices from soaking up too much oil and gives them just the right texture for layering. Modern recipes often skip this step, but Davide keeps it, because it’s the difference between soggy layers and parmigiana that holds together beautifully.

How should I serve eggplant parmigiana?

On its own, it’s hearty enough to be a complete meal. For a classic family dinner, pair it with a crisp green salad and garlic bread. For something more elegant, Davide suggests a rocket and pear salad with balsamic vinaigrette to cut through the richness. However you serve it, this parmigiana is made to be shared around the table.

Can I freeze and reheat this meal later?

Yes, absolutely. All of our meals are freshly frozen to lock in flavour and quality, so you can keep them in the freezer until you’re ready. When reheated, they taste just like they were made that day.

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.

About Your Cook

Hi, I'm Davide 👋🏻

"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."
