Introduction
My mum, Caroline Moorehead, is an amazing cook so you can always be sure of eating something delicious if she is in the kitchen. She is not really a baker, although she does have a very sweet tooth, so it is ironic I have ended up running a bakery. I was lucky to spend a lot of time in Italy as I was growing up so I have always loved Italian food, and my mum has always cooked a lot of Italian dishes. This sauce really is one of the best bolognese sauces you can eat, simply served with spaghetti and freshly grated Parmesan. My youngest daughter is quite a fussy daughter but even she loves this sauce!
