As you may know, we recently launched ‘Bene Meals’! Our new menu which highlights our commitment to offering a taste of Italian summers, inspired by ‘cibo povero’; traditional Italian dishes born out of scarcity but rich in flavour and nutrition.
This time we’re back with yet another tasty dessert recipe from our new menu for you to try for yourself. Our Sicilian Lemon Cheesecake is both tantalising AND macro-friendly, meaning you can have your (cheese)cake, and eat it, too.
